Using a Chromebook at Work
- linsomniac 4y agoI ran a similar experiment ~5 years ago with a previous generation HP: the 13 g1. Which, I can still highly recommend, because you can get the i7/16GB/high res screen version for~$100 on ebay now. It's a pretty amazing deal. A few notes: This "recently" got the Linux container support, and it's a game changer. Instead of using the HTML terminal app as the article mentions, I was running in the Linux container and using mosh+tmux to my work machine, and that worked great. You could also run xterm or whatnot. You can do development in the Linux environment, and it works fine. I mostly ended up doing my development work remotely via mosh+tmux. For $100, it's hard to beat as a Chromebook, and the Linux environment gives you your normal tools.
