Q: Does this version of the Chromebook 2 have an IPS screen?

No, it has an HD TFT LED Backlit display (matte finish). The IPS screen is only on the CB35-B3340.

Q: How much built-in storage does it offer (i.e., not Google drive, but downloading documents directly onto the machine for offline access)?

It has a 16 GB solid state drive. It has a slot for an SD card for additional space if you want. However, the Chromebook is designed to work on the cloud, so you really don't need a lot of storage. But you can add a SD card or micro-SD if you need to.

Q: Can this chromebook be used in Europe with the default power supply + a US to EU adapter?

Looks like the supply adapter has the following power spec:AC 100V 1.2A 50/60HzDC 19V 2.37AI think that this won't work with a simple adapter because you will have to match the voltage. Most adapters list both voltage as inputs I think

Question 1

I don't understand chromebooks, do I need to pay for cloud storage?  can I use power point and word?  thanks for your help :)

Accepted Answer

Off-line storage is very cheap, last sale item on the cheap was a 1 TB external Hard drive US $49.  I find keeping a Dropbox, and Google drive full is hard to do with current documents, unless you are storing enough home videos to watch for days.  It is also possible to upload your videos to Youtube.  A Friend has a 20 hours of bicycle rides on youtube, that he has taken with a Gopro camera.  Most Chromebooks have a USB port, and a 128 gig Flash/Thumb drives are affordable, and very convenient to carry.Top 10 Cloud storage places.  <--Not yesterday current, free on-line storage is vast if you use lots of different serviceshttp://www.1mtb.com/top-10-best-free-online-cloud-storage-services/No, you can't use word or Powerpoint on a Chromebook, unless you pay Microsoft for its win8/phone interface style on-line services (https://www.office.com/start/default.aspx).  (Edit: There is a free version)However there are always the free Google Drive, and ZoHo Docs (more will appear in the near future) that can create, and modify MS documents.  Remember we will all be using on-line office suites in the future (5/10 years from now).  My suggestion is to use Cloud & Flash/Thumb drives for backup document storage while away from home, and have one or two large USB 3.0 external hard drive(s) in your home. Any competent laptop shop can upgrade the 16/32 Gig SSD Chrombeek SSD to a larger one if you want to keep your documents as local files.  Or you could watch a youtube video on installing a larger SSD drive, and complete this modification on your own.Chromebooks are easy to understand, turn them on and use them, but they are different than a Mac or Windows system. I understand booting almost any operating system from a USB Flash/Thumb Drive is now ready or will soon be a possibility in all Chromebooks.  That might make a windows operating system a possibility in a Chromebook, if someone develops a USB Windows self booting Flash/Thumb drive similar to Linux operating systems.
