I initially started using a Chromebook in supporting some school system customers, but it has allowed me greater mobility, consistent performance, and was surprisingly capable once I got using it. But those occasions are far fewer than I even expected when I started using the Chromebook. As I indicated in my initial response, I keep a windows machine around for the few tasks that I absolutely need a Windows machine for.
I am not saying the Chromebook is the right solution for everyone. I can use either the Microsoft RDP client (meh - it works) or the Chrome RDP client (better performance but limits to single session) for straight RDP sessions. I can run both Teamviewer and Splashtop for supporting users.
onc file for use on a Chromebook, but once setup, it just works. It does take a small hack of the typical openvpn. I have been able to use any IPSec or OpenSSL VPN for every situation where I needed a VPN. I spend most of my time working from our different locations.Ĭade: I noticed some issues with the VPN and Watchguard firewalls. But in my job, I am rarely working from a stationary office desk/workstation. If I connect the mini HDMI to a 27" monitor, sure. If it is not for you then others will like it or put Linux on it as I did.Ĭhrisf7: Does your chromebook have a 27" screen? As I said get a cheap one and experiment with it to make sure they do what you want. I also have an Acer C720 that is getting on a bit, but I swapped out the storage to 128 GB and run Linux Distros on it very happily. At home I got one for my wife and whereas she used to get problems with Windows machines since I got it she has never complained in 4 years. Since you can get really cheap ones, the best course of action is to get one and try it. It may be just me and my familiarity with it. However, I am not 100 % happy with these features. It has a terminal and you can SSH into other machines with its own system. I only have 2 GB of RAM and a low powered one. I can have 20 or 30 tabs open in the browser with no problems. The boot time is really fast about 4 second from power on and it is kept up to date. It does all of what most people need it for and I would recommend it for them. I use a Chromebook and like it very much.
