Who knew?! From some basic testing, they seem to work pretty well. With researching a Chromebook, I have discovered that HTML5 based RDP apps are a thing. I have my RDM profile stored via FTP on a server at home, so my config is always up to date from any computer that I used RDM from, which is the nicest feature in my opinion. It manages all of my RDP connections, as well as SSH connections, certain websites (i.e., Webmin), and organizes it all with saved credentials. I currently use Devolution's Remote Desktop Manager, which is a very nice piece of software.

RDP is very important for me so that I can manage the 25-30 Windows based devices on my network. My primary use on a laptop is for web based applications and browsing, email, Office, and RDP. At first thought, I was certain that a Chromebook would not allow me to do everything I need to do from a laptop. Not to mention the low price of $200-250 for a Samsung Chromebook, I would much rather buy one of those every few years instead of a new $1,000 laptop. From a hardware perspective, Chrome OS is mostly web based and doesn't require much for end user hardware. In my quest to simplify my technical life, I have been entertaining the idea of retiring my laptop and buying a Chromebook. Check out my new Guacamole guide for CentOS 7 HERE!
