| Chromebooks
I have to buy a new computer for the building manager (i'm on a strata council) and was considering getting a Chromebook. I've personally never used one, but here's my thinking:
- It's cheaper than a traditional Windows based computer or Mac (this wasn't budgeted for so want to keep cost low)
- Google Docs means any documents created by the Caretaker will be saved in the cloud all the time (in case he ever quits or the computer is lost)
- The Caretaker's needs shouldn't go beyond printing documents, sending emails, using basic spreadsheets for tracking various things, and the occasional youtube video at lunch time
- Less susceptible to downloading random software and needing tech support
Some cons:
- The caretaker may not be familiar with Google Docs or Gmail and would have to learn.
- As a laptop, it is more susceptible to theft
If anyone here has thoughts, please share. Thanks!
