      On faster computers I don't notice much of a difference between chrome and firefox and actually prefer firefox personally. But in this particular case I'm not sure it's the CPU at fault, it could also have been lack of RAM.

      Same here, about the same and tend to use Firefox.

      Heard more from the user.

      Would prefer 15" screen and a numeric keypad... /sigh..

      Found this one. https://www.amazon.com/Acer-CB715-1W-P4Y6-Chromebook-4417U-Chrome/dp/B07W996BQ5

      Anyone have a comment on it?

      Only 32GB, but it is supposed to be only for browsing and ScreenConnect.

      32GB is PLENTY. I don't even need the 16GB that I have. And 8GB of RAM, that's a monster of a Chromebook. Should be way, way fast enough. Just really expensive is all.

      Mostly it is the form factor, I think, 15” with the numeric keypad

      True, the extra size brings up the price quite quickly.

      So I started looking for information on an Android tablet could be re-initialized with the Chrome OS at a later date. Not much on that topic out there...

      Different hardware, unlikely to be happy trying to do that.

      You can rename the files obviously, but you can't import them if you change the name it seems.

      actually...maybe I cant import because it's already listed.

      Copy it and change the name, then reload Remmina. You'll now see a copy of the same thing. Go back and delete the original in the file system and reload Remmina again. Original disappears.

      Tells me that one should be able to simply dump the connection configs on the minions, tighten down the permission to read only for the user and let them operate.

      @Reid-Cooper said in CrossOver: Run Windows Programs on ChromeOS:

      There is a Wine for Android option perhaps. And if your ChromeOS runs Linux apps, Wine might work that way.

      Agreed - and I did see that. However, I again run into the issue of the USBtoSerial not working... at least it seems to not work. Might look again over the weekend... oh wait.. I really don't have a weekend between sports events and other crap...

      Only the Chrome RDP code of which I am aware.

      Yes, I've looked into automating it and couldn't find a way.

      I kinda like the idea, but I hate the way they mount the phone. It looks really cheesy.

      But for $129 i think it's a not a bad price

      It was $150 when I looked, which seems awful given the $179 price of a great Chromebook.

      Latest update, Altex in Reghin has some lower end Chromebooks. Not exactly what we want, but might do the trick.

      @dafyre said in HP Announces Intel Core i7 Powered Chromebook Tablet:

      Do you really need that kind of horsepower in a Chromebook? I'm not knocking the amount of RAM... but an i7 is a bit overkill, isn't it? -- Unless you're running hefty Android apps or something.

      Maybe this type of device will encourage the development of heftier apps for chrome os... Video/audio stuff, graphics, etc. I'd run Reaper on a Chromebook like this to record multitrack audio... Assuming the audio hardware drivers existed.

      I shared this with my team. I think this may be a Windows killer, but everyone else is skeptical. What do you guys think?

      The Windows killer is "customers with a clue" and "the capability to move to modern software". Put those together, nearly everyone can drop Windows. Not everyone, but most everyone.

      I'm thinking of getting a Chromebook just so I can have non-mobile (desktop mode) web access in places I do not want to have a normal sized laptop. Is 11.6" too big for that purpose?

      Phone is just too small and so inconvenient for some things I want to do. I'd rather have a super small laptop just for web access and simple things.

      11.6" is not very big. It's only slightly different than carrying around an iPad, but for me, way more usable.

      If you ever need high quality cables that just work right every time:

      http://www.bluejeanscable.co.uk/ (american .com site seems to be down, IDK why)

      If you need bulk or cheap cable that usually works alright:

      I am not surprised, Chromebooks are so cheap, stateless and easy to use. I can only imagine that it would be pretty tough for a school to really want to do anything else.
