Overall Satisfaction with ChromeOS

We are a Google company so we Google Chrome is our default browser of choice. Not only does it seamlessly integrate to our Okta instance, allowing for a streamlined authentication process, it makes access controls super easy to manage. Additionally, since we mostly use Google products, it integrates with their products better.

Pros

  • Native apps (GDrive, GDocs, GSheets, etc.)
  • Seamlessly integrates with our authentication SSO provider
  • Positive: Very cost effective solution to get laptops out to everyone on the team
  • Positive: Easy to manage UI/OS
  • Negative: Can be sluggish once you get into apps that require more GPU
For everyday surfing the web and checking emails, ChromeOS excels. You won't start seeing ChromeOS slowing down until you start using tools that require more GPU (coding, rendering videos, AI, etc.).
I personally enjoy macOS a ton more but that's because I'm already heavily invested in the Apple ecosystem and it's more capable of handling tasks that require more power.

Do you think ChromeOS delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with ChromeOS's feature set?

Yes

Did ChromeOS live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of ChromeOS go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy ChromeOS again?

Yes

ChromeOS is really well-suited for light browsing and work that doesn't take a lot of GPU. Perfect OS for students (including college students), unless you are in a field that requires heavy rendering (e.g., architecture or digital media).
