How are people liking their experience with Chromebooks? A friend of mine bought one of the early ones for his young daughter and he felt it was a bit of a pain to set up. But this was well over a year ago, maybe two years ago, I don't remember. Anyway, the $250 Sammy with SSD seems tempting as a light device to take with me to a cafe or to leave in the living room as a second screen during TV watching. Of course I've got tablets for both of those functions. But often when I go to cafe on the weekends I'm going there to do some writing and I'd like a physical keyboard. I can bring my work laptop home, but that means schlepping that back and forth. My GF pretty much has taken over my 2007 Macbook. So I don't really even consider that an option.
I know the Chromebook's limitations. But within the limitations of just using the web and google apps, how well does that work?
One option that I have is I can Citrix back into my work system. If I can do that on a Chromebook, then I'm basically connected to a virtual Windows 7 PC. I don't see why I wouldn't be able to do that since it is a web based client. But maybe there are power issues or perhaps the Citrix client app doesn't run on Chrome OS. I can't recall if the first time you log in but I think I need to download something from Citrix.
