I used a Chromebook as my only laptop for my last 2 years at UC Berkeley. I did all my note-taking in Google&#x27;s Docs stuff. For my CS course work, I used the excellent Chrome SSH app [1] to remote into department machines. Chrome SSH is so good that I now use it on all my Windows machines instead of PuTTY!<p>The only thing I couldn&#x27;t use my Chromebook for was for design-related activities -- running Illustrator or Photoshop to make posters or t-shirts and the like. I ended up setting up Guacamole [2] on my home network, so I could remote to my desktop windows box to use Illustrator on-the-go.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chrome.google.com&#x2F;webstore&#x2F;detail&#x2F;secure-shell&#x2F;pnhechapfaindjhompbnflcldabbghjo?hl=en" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chrome.google.com&#x2F;webstore&#x2F;detail&#x2F;secure-shell&#x2F;pnhec...</a>
