Chrome OS will get screen recording tool – Computer – News in March

Have a Chromebook for about 2 months now. The idea is funny.

Although I do miss certain keys on the keyboard. Such as Home and End. Or Delete. Those basic things that I use very often

I honestly don’t know if I would buy a Chromebook again. RDPs to my Windows machines about 75% of the time. Now I had already expected that in itself, because the idea was that I was just looking for a device to sit on the couch with a good battery life, but that I could use to log into another computer to do some more serious work (such as programming in Visual Studio).

Despite the fact that the Microsoft Remote Desktop app for Android works fine, connecting from another Windows machine is simply more relaxed. For example, because you do have a Windows key, you just have a right mouse button instead of having to tap with 2 fingers, you just have Home, End and Delete keys, and so on.

My daughter also used it for Teams because of school. That goes well, as long as the teacher does not consider canceling meetings and creating them again at the last minute, etc. Because then the Android app does not want to refresh everything, while it will work on a Windows laptop, for example.

And so I actually have all kinds of little things that together make it a clumsy device.

Nice for Netflix and a bit of browsing, but then it ends. And that’s not because of the specs (because I bought a slightly more luxurious one with a Pentium CPU, IPS panel etc), but simply because of how it is designed.
