I need to purchase a new device whose primary purpose will be to access my office desktop (Windows 7) remotely. Our IT company provides great remote access support for Windows, but I also have Chrome Remote Desktop set up for occasional access from my N5 or N7 when needed. From my office desktop, I primarily work in Word, Outlook, Chrome, and my firm's billing software. Having a keyboard is essential when I remote in. As far as I can tell, my decision is between a portable Windows laptop or a Chromebook. I've also recently been wondering about the possibility of running an N9 with the Folio Keyboard accessory. I'm definitely a big Nexus fan, but I tend to think a Chromebook gets me more for less for this particular need.
I'm a little unsatisfied with the current Chromebook offerings. The Dell Chromebook 11 and the Toshiba Chromebook 2 seem to be the most promising options out there. I'm a little drawn to the Acer Chromebook 13 as well, but I feel I might be misguided there. This device will primarily be used for drafting documents, so lots of typing. I would like a great keyboard and solid battery life. I also want it to be sturdy and portable. What would you recommend?
I'm not finding much out there about best devices whose primary function is remote access, so I'm wondering if there are any considerations I'm missing. Any thoughts or suggestions?
