[Misc] Using Chromebook as a PWS

[KJEpps]

I desperately need a new laptop but I don't want to rush out and get one without doing thorough research and maybe finding one on Black Friday. My PWS keeps crashing when I try to use Eureka. In the meantime, I might buy a cheap Chromebook. Have you had any experience using a Chromebook? How did you like it? What issues have you experienced?

TIA

You could try ruining a perfectly good Chromebook by putting Windows on it

I like mine for browsing because of the keyboard and fast operation but it's no business unit.

Xerox's proprietary death grip on their lame, outdated PWS Internet Explorer garbage is the real problem. To hell with them. Work on something decent that respects technicians and their time.

Yeah, I know, but I don't have a choice. Our company has too many Xerox's to support.
