Do you need an internet connection to use the Google Docs application?

As far as I can tell, you do need an internet connection to access the documents on Google Drive, but there are separate apps for Docs, Spreadsheets, and Slides. I'm not sure if that's super helpful. :(

You're able to view Google documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and drawings even when you don't have an Internet connection. You're also able to edit Google documents, presentations, and drawings offline.But you may need internet access to setup the offline feature.

No, you establish a standalone wifi connection between the airstash and your phone and tablet. No internet required.

Generally people use Google Drive and Google apps (Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, Drawings) on Chromebooks. They convert to and from the Microsoft Office counterparts. And they're free! You can also use the cloud-based version of MS Office.

No-- it's older software, and it doesn't require Internet to use. The only downside: you'll need a computer which runs Windows XP rather than Windows 7 or 8. Great program, though.

Yes! They recently added the ability to save Google Docs locally to the device, in an "Offline" folder. The next time you connect to the internet it will upload all the files to your Google Drive.

No internet connection is needed to play game cartridges, internet is only needed when connecting the the game system to a pc or laptop to track progress or download games from the leapfrog app center.

From what I tried, no. It has google docs already installed. Anything ive done with gmail on my previous laptops had synced with this chromebook, so I found it to be pretty cool

Anything that can access the chrome browser has access to document editing and such threw google docs. Google drive also stores them in cloud too so no need to worry about storage space.

Yes, you can use Google Docs Offline mode to edit Google Docs offline, and you can use apps like QuickOffice to view other documents (but not edit).Google Docs Offline mode:https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/2809731?hl=enOther things you can do offline:https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/3214688?hl=en

I don't know exactly what you mean, Its a software, so it doesn't require an internet connection. You just install it to your pc.

It really depends--if you are expected to edit Microsoft office documents, you'll probably want to opt for a traditional laptop with Microsoft office loaded. But if you just need to be able to open them, Chrome's Google Docs are fine. As for school web pages, they ought to work ok with Chrome (as a browser), but occasionally you'll find some pages that will only open with another browser. With the Chromebook, obviously, you're stuck with Chrome.

No. There are online elements to the tablet, but I would say the majority of the tablet functions can be used without connecting to the internet.

Yes. It requires an Internet connection. It does not work well with windows 8.

You do not need to be connected to the internet for this printer to work. It will easily print from the internet, though. Once the software is loaded, it is a USB "plug and play."
