Google’s Chromebook change still won’t persuade me to get one, depsite how much I want to.
In the current climate, getting the right hardware to work from home effectively is vital. Having the correct laptop, monitor and accessories can massively boost your productivity. That’s why I was excited to finally get to try out one of the latest Chromebooks on the market, the Dell Latitude 7410 Chromebook Enterprise recently. It’s an undoubtedly a fantastic device (and hopefully a product we’ll review fully at some point) but as I only had a few days with it – a few things stood out. Chromebooks have proved a game-changer for industries that are desperate for low-cost, high-power and durable devices, with schools, universities and research labs flocking to the devices. But would it be the same for me, working from home in a job that mainly requires lots of typing? In a word – no. Now I don’t have anything against this machine, or Dell, but there was one aspect that rendered the Chromebook almost completely unusable for me.
