What I think is going to make the chromebook really take off is that even out here in the boonies, the school here just issued a chromebook to everybody from 6th to 12th grades and made it a requirement that it be used. If this is happening nationwide, well it was a smart marketing move, and I'm thinking about buying one myself when I can
-----Original Message----- From: ProFox [mailto:profox-boun...@leafe.com] On Behalf Of Malcolm Greene Sent: Saturday, August 30, 2014 9:08 AM To: profox@leafe.com Subject: [NF] Personal experiences with Chromebooks or Chromeboxes? Looking for comments and recommendations regarding the usefulness and performance of Chromebooks or Chromeboxes? Pros, cons, tips, techniques, gotchas ... vendors or specific product models to consider or avoid? What to upgrade (memory, SSD's?), etc. How easy is printing? Performance? Ease of transitioning from a thick client to browser based client? Use case: 1. Personal use with cloud based email, online technical research and reading, online accounting (Quicken/Quickbooks), collaborative writing via online wikis or Google Office, blog maintenance. 2. Potential as laptop/desktop replacements for customers with mostly browser based workflows and/or virtual desktops/Citrix apps running back in their data centers. Thanks!
