Hello YayaFino,
RT devices can only download Windows updates and apps from the Store. I would suggest you try the Google search app from the Store, it has Google search and 14 other Google apps built in (Gmail, YouTube, Maps, Calendar and many more).
Hi,
Thank you for approaching Microsoft Community for assistance.
I understand that you have issues with downloading Google Chrome.
Google Chrome is available as a desktop application which can be installed only on Windows 8 and Windows 8 Pro Operating Systems.
You will not be able to install it on Windows RT devices.
Refer to the link for more information.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any other issues with Windows, please do post it in Microsoft Community. We would be happy to help you.
Just a quick follow-up thought - I understand that Google and MS probably want you to do eveyrthing within their own 'ecosystem' (and obviously Apple, too), but right now it just doens't work and the consumers are payign the price. The fact is, Google doesn't make a real computer (laptop) that I want to buy right now, but MS apparently can't make a syncable calendar/contact setup, either, that uses its own software (Outlook 2007 and 2013), so we seem to be left with hobbling half-@ssed solutions together that severely reduce effeciency and functionality!! ... or something like that :o)

Wait, are you serious?
I just got the Chromecast, and you are blocking Chrome?
And Firefox too?
Oh bujeezus, how shortsighted is that, Web OS Jr
Wow, this will be orphaned soon
Can I run windows 8 on my Asus 600T?

It isn't that they are blocked, it's just that the apps would not work on RT. Totally different operating system that cannot run regular Windows programs.
If Chrome and Firefox are released as Windows Store Apps, then things might change. But it is unlikely that this will happen.
Your ASUS600T only supports Windows RT - regular Windows 8 cannot be installed on it.
