Google and HP on Tuesday unveiled the latest addition to the Chromebook family: the HP Chromebook 11. Like its earlier counterparts, this Chromebook weighs next to nothing — roughly 2 pounds — and runs Google’s Linux-based Chrome OS operating system. This new one, however — priced at $279 — comes with some high-end touches and enough power to stake out some new ground in the low-cost mobile computing space. “This Chromebook is crafted with the same obsessive attention to detail as the Chromebook Pixel,” said Google’s Caesar Sengupta.
Chromebooks make sense for users that spend most of their time on the web, as a 2nd family computer, in schools, etc. But what if you want to do some work from home, and your company uses Windows applications (like MS Office)?
You can use a product like Ericom AccessNow, an HTML5 RDP solution that enables Chromebook users to connect to Terminal Servers and/or VDI virtual desktops, and run Windows applications or desktops in a browser tab.
