Chromebook does not allow downloads except through the play store so check if they have a wptglobal App there,

there is a way to download by installing linux but most Chromebooks don't have

the Ram to run poker sites anyway so it's generally a waste of time...

I think i researched this some time ago and Linux is not usable for online poker. Maybe works for beta browser sites like for example Re.... ah im not even going to start again 😅

... the problem is most poker Apps need at least 16 gb of ram and most versions of chromebooks

generally have only 4 or 8 gb of ram which is why they're so inexpensive.... so they just don't

have enough ram to run poker sites, next time I upgrade I'm going back to an hp👍

Well talking about Windows, u can download and install most pokersoftwares on laptops with as low as 4gb ram but u wont be able to play many tables or even load the software in some rare cases.

With 8 gb ram u should be already able to play 4-6 tables on most sites without much lag.

If u want to play more and maybe also run Trackers and/or watch stuff then yes go for 16gb (which i did) or even better: 32gb (which i will).

yeah that's true for windows but this is chromebook, you first have to install linux to be able to install the poker site,

linux takes up more than half of the available ram already, then you have to install the poker site after that,

so you are going to need a lot more ram or it just can't run the poker sites.... I have 4gb on my

chromebook, I'm using 0.86gb, if I install linux that doubles, then I install a poker site🤢...

chromebooks are fine for most people but for poker players they're frustrating lol

yeah if there's a play store app it will run most of them... but even some of them are not supported,

if it's an android app on a website then you need linux... , a lot of programs are not just

supported by chromebook so if you like to download various programs it's annoying 👍
