Any other web-based video chat would work as well but not any video call apps, since you can’t install apps.

Bought this thinking I could use it like a notebook e.g. offline, with MS office and to basically run language training software but think this is the wrong item.

Or am I wrong?

Also the battery will be a non issue since its removable and replacements will be available to buy a backup.

None of these things are an option with the Samsung / ARM based Chromebook.
