I have 2 chromebooks and my colleagues and use chromebooks for all our work, although whenever anyone wants/needs to, the google business apps suite works seemlessly across any platform so one colleague uses his big Mac at home, and if I sit in my office I can use my W7PC. But most of the time Im using the chromebook in the kitchen like wot I’m doin’ now.
We produce all our business presentations and docs in google drive. They can be distributed to clients as pdfs directly from Google Drive. We can also export as conventional MS Office filetypes if we need to send editable copies (v, v rarely).
If we get sent editable docs (*.docx, *.ppt, *.xls etc) Google drive accepts them and displays them or can be asked to convert to google docs for editing.
I used to be an Excel “power-ish user” but I now do 99% of all my model work in google sheets sucessfully. There are two things I cant do on GSheets – Sensitivity tables (TABLE function) and Goalseek.
I also found a bit of a problem when GSheets was unable to use a MAX function on a range because of a perceived circularity even though Excel didnt have such an objection. All I had to do was modify the model a smidge to work around though.
My big PC still gets used as it is also our media server and PVR. If/When we move away from Windows Media Centre, I can see the chromebooks being our sole PCs in the house.
