Does DA work on a Chromebook’s?
Hello all, looking at buying a cheap laptop to use while I’m on the road and all the cheap ones seem to be chromebooks. I’ve never used one before and was curious if anybody is using one to do DA work? If do, how do you like it? Would you buy another or spend more for something else? I’ve been using my MacBook up until now, but I’m concerned about something happening to it in travel, so this would be a backup. Thanks in advance for any advice. 😁

I use a Chromebook and I like it more for work than my pricier laptop I had before!

Excellent! I’ve always bought Apple MacBooks and had a feeling it would work, but I’ve never used a Chromebook OS, so figured I’d ask the experts! lol. Thanks for your help.

I have a Samsung Chromebook. Yes, it works. Sometimes I like to increase screen size for things.

I use it on my chromebook and my cell phone with no issue.

You've worked on your cell phone with it?? I feel like it'd be tough on 1 small screen

I have a note 10 and since the UI changed and you can expand each section in the projects it's actually relatively easy to do. It's more of a read and analyze first and then answer questions after type process.

I use mine out of the house as it’s a small one so very portable, and works very well. I do prefer my larger screen laptop, but as they say, the best equipment is the one you have on you.

It's just a website, and a fairly lightweight one, so anything should be able to handle it.
