What is the advantage of buying a chromebook?
- linsomniac 8y agoFor me, at home, I'm doing very little. 90% of what I'm doing on my personal laptop these days is in a browser. ChromeOS is a dead simple, secure, browser appliance. Being able to install an Android SSH client and VPN takes that up to more like 99% and lets me do some work things as well. Being able to install a Linux app or two would probably take me more to like 100%. The only thing I really want to do that I'm not at the moment is have a more self-contained development environment like VSCode to dabble on some python rather than sshing over to a box and editing in vi.
