This is a good question!
I've been considering having a similar setup for my wife.
She's a chromebook user and often needs to run software like SPSS that's exclusively to Windows.
I don't have a solution for the OP, but if anyone else is in a similar situation of needing a Windows machine every now and then this might be useful.
We went with an Amazon WorkSpace solution, they have clients for a wide range of devices (chromebook, linux, mac, windows, fire) and you get like 40 hours for free. (Not nearly enough for full-time use of course, but to run certain pieces of software it works).
- icebraining 8y agoI've used Paperspace (a competitor for WorkSpace) for strategy gaming on a Thinkpad X201 running Debian, and it worked fine. They don't offer 40h, but the price per hour seems cheaper ($0.07/h for their basic machine, the Air).
- Insanity 8y agoThanks! Hadn't heard of them but I'll check them out. The gaming option looks interesting actually :)
