I have not used Chromebook, so don't quote me too much on that part. Features: Remote control Real-time screen sharing View device information Transfer files (Back and forth) App list (Uninstall apps) Process list (Stop processes) Push and pull Wi-Fi. I do however use TeamViewer/VNC plenty of time during my last 2 years studying Master degree, and my use case is kind of similar to yours. My master project is somewhat computing power intensive, so I can't run it on my surface pro with reasonable speed so I remote control my desktop using my surface just like what you planned to do. The remote control experience varies hugely depending on the internet speed. My uni have generally good internet speed but WiFi coverage in some specific location can be a little patchy, and if I happen to meet my supervisor in those locations, showing my progress it can be a bit painful…. Most of the time the experience is pretty good. I've plugged my PC into a smart power switch, and set up the BIOS with "Turn on PC after recover from power loss", so if I switch off the smart power switch for a moment and turn it back on, my desktop would automatically turn on, this has been reliable. My experience with VNC+ port forwarding is a bit better than teamviewer (slightly more consistent, don't need to wait for either side to log into teamviewer before I can start the connection) but most of the time they are similar enough. I also think for your use case(and potentially limit budget, as you are planning to buy a 4GB RAM chrome book), buying an iPad or Android Tablet (with type cover) can be a better choice than chromebook, as the user interface is bit more straight forward, often it's more fluent and have better performance, plus you still have a full set of Office apps on Android/iOS… though depending on your use case, YMMV… Surface Go could also be a good choice as you get to have full windows application support, yet still have a touch screen to use it as tablet (heads up: windows tablet is not that great on its touch interface)Ĭhecking back other's comments, with knowing you are on a extreme tight budget, my other advise is to not to cheap out too much, if I were you, I'd at least expect: With regarding 4GB ram… I think you may not going to like it, as opening (lots) of chrome page can be very RAM consuming, especially with some chrome plugins running. Fast enough as a standalone browsing / general app machine - checking webpage with remote control isn't ideal. ![]() ![]()
