You must be joking right? Chromebooks are used by kids in school and at home to surf the internet. It surely can’t be used in a professional work environment! That is a reasonable assumption!
When ChromeOS was released over 10 years ago, it was only capable of viewing websites and storing some basic files. Most software was sold as installable executables on Windows or Macs.
Chromebooks and the software they run have come a long way in 10 years. Most software runs as a web page now making Chromebooks a perfect device to perform most tasks in a business environment. Chromebooks can also run Android Apps, and integrate well with Google Workspace or Microsoft 365.
The Chromebooks laptops are small and rugged for schools like when they came out, but now there are also lightweight, sleek, and high-powered models that can go toe to toe with mid to high range Mac and Windows devices.
When it comes to Enterprise management is where Chromebooks really start to excel.
- They are very difficult to infect with malware
- Typically lighter and faster for less money
- Extremely easy to manage with policy and allowed pages/apps
- Remote management built right in
Managing every aspect of the Chromebooks is managed directly in the Google portal. Managing Windows or Mac devices would take a much more complex, expensive battery of software to even come close.
