I haven't seen this one posted yet, for a basic web browser for kids, or others that don't have any more needs than YouTube and email, this should work fine.

I don't know much about chromebooks so please overlook dumb questions. This interests me as a possible MP3 player to connect (bluetooth) to a sound system in my family room. Doubt that the internal storage is upgradeable but there appears to be a micro sd slot on the left side of the keyboard though it is not mentioned in the specs. I would need around 500 GB to hold my MP3 library. I am hoping that it could also access Amazon music or other streaming services over WiFi and have enough processing power to xmit the content by bluetooth to the sound system. I see there is an audio out but would prefer to avoid a wired physical connection. Are there functional / suitable MP3 players apps that are included within the chrome OS or can be downloaded? Will this work?
This would be a replacement for an aging Lenovo X131e student notebook which I upgraded from Win7 to Win10, big mistake. The X131e still works but can no longer allow it to attach to the internet. When that happens, it will attempt to update the Win10 OS which then renders it useless (Lenovo quit updating/supporting some of the required drivers for Win10). After installing the update, the laptop hangs at boot, thus requiring a reload of the backup. I've tried disabling the auto update feature but have not been successful, either Lenovo utilities or MS overrides.
But yes, you can play MP3 on ChromeOS. I beleive you can just play them from the file browser, but you can also install android apps on Chrome OS now. So basically any music app you could use on your phone can be used.
Edit: honestly a cheapo Amazon fire tablet would probably be nicer for this purpose. Much smaller footprint and those have media apps and a MicroSD slot. Can get those for like $30 used/refurb

In Schools that's the only one allowed so that they can monitor the student activity.
And since good Chromebooks are expensive I have installed flex on Windows laptop's. But it's not possible the other way or very difficult to install Windows on i3/i5 Chromebooks.
