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.
Actually, the problem with a lot of these devises is they are advertised as running "Windows". That would be like Honda advertising a riding lawn mower as a "Honda". It might be, but most likely, it cannot be driven on the freeway!
Buyer Beware!!!
You should complain to Google - they're the ones not making a version of Chrome for the RT!
The Surface Pro is a full x86 system and can run anything a laptop or stationary computer can, but has a higher price to match its greater power. But it sounds like that might be more what you're looking for?
Well it's great that you're impressed with it and satisfied that it does what you're personally looking for. However, I don't care so much about an HDMI port nor do I care so much about office. My major gripe was that I can't dl Chrome. Every computer regardless or brand or type as well as all other devices allow the option to dl the browser therefore one would never think to make sure this particular device allows such. As someone stated in a previous comment it would be nice to have the options and not be so limited. I personally hate the other browsers so much that it's a potential deal breaker....for ME. But as I stated earlier, glad to see someone is happy because all I read was complaints about a few different things. Enjoy your device and maybe I'll keep and adapt to mine...time will tell.
