Question ChromeBook?

So all last year, I carried around my 17.5in HP Pavilion g7 laptop to school for our meetings. I am totally fine with using it in the pre/post seasons, with meetings once, rarely twice, a week. However, I don't like lugging it to and from school during the season, because then its every day. I was looking at my local pawn shop and found a ChromeBook (HP Pavilion 14-c050) 14in laptop for $99 from their back-to-school sale, and was almost immediately sold on it. My only concern is, because its running ChromeOS, a version of Linux, can I run LabVIEW on it? If not, is it possible to install windows 7 and run labview from there?
Any and all help is greatly appreciated!
Specs are as follows:
14 inch display
4GB RAM
16GB SSD
Intel Celeron 847
