I am curious how many people here would ever recommend to their boss to get a Chromebook for business?

I think it would be great for:
- sales people
- administrative
- technical staff

I wouldn't recommend it for Finance people, or people that use a lot of spreadsheets.

I would recommend it, certainly for sales people when they are on the go meeting up with clients.

If I had a boss, I would definitely make the business case for Chromebooks over other options requiring users and system engineers to manage them.

Better yet, I'd recommend a Chromebook for my wife!

Do you think it would work for a realtor?

Not until remote desktop capability is available natively, or VPN, or best yet a VM View Client.

Why would i recommed a device that will not connect to our Internal WiFi due to it's security?

I'm confused, will not connect to your internal WiFi because of your company's security or because of the Chromebooks security. Me, I would recomend this to my boss, and I already have!

Yes, my company has switched to gmail for our mail, docs, and they are hosting our internal app for 90% of everything we use a computer for. we too have a vpn available which we are trying to obsolete via a Gapp, and some offices were running an extraordinary tkip on the wifi, but that has been dealt with.

You mean like thinVNC?
ThinVNC is a html5 remote desktop server. You install it onto the matinee you want to rdp into, or onto a 'gateway' machine. You can then access it from any modern browser using http or https.
There are other similar products out there too.

VPN seems a bit pointless to me when you have no local software. Am I missing something there?

Dunno about a VMWare view client. What would that do that RDP wouldn't?
