This guy gets it. Nobody is talking about replacing a hardcore workstation running video editing tools or AutoCAD.
I've used my chromebook to remote into my workstation to do a little light Revit and AutoCad.

It's not so much knee jerking or fanboying, but rather a complete disdain for your constant annoying Apple trolling.

obviously not directed at you, but the people who think they need an expensive desktop *AND* a $1500+ apple laptop when they're on the road when 95% of what they're needing the laptop for can be done by remoting into their desktop or done on the web using google's apps.

I do need to run some photoshop and illustrator.. is there a viable chomebook that can handle this?
that goes against the whole philosophy of a chromebook, so no.
anyone who thinks chromebooks are stupid because they can't run apple itunes or adobe illustrator are completely missing the point.
you have to think beyond the knee-jerk "well if i cant game on it and run high powered graphics-intensive apple-only apps then its shite i dont want"
you have to change your mindset or you'll never understand why chromebooks are so popular.

- ridiculously cheap
- ridiculously long battery life compared to any other laptop in existence
- ridiculously simple to use
- ridiculously fast. boots in under 10 seconds.
if apple wasn't so high-and-mighty with their 50%+ industry margins and more true to the idea of making insanely great products, they'd have this market sealed up already because there is a need for this type of computer.

Well, with that screenshot I'm on my Air, I'm remoted into my mac mini, which is remoted into my iMac. Don't tell me I don't NEED all this expensive shite.

i remote into my HTPC/server/power computer from my laptop while im at all the time using Remote desktop connection.
I want to set it up where i can remote in remotely. I havent looked into how to do it yet. do you have to use some 2nd hand software or is there a port i can open to do this, and log in via a ddns.

Apple has no interest in making such low end stuff. It wouldn't move the needle for them, and it would hurt their brand. It's simply not a market they care about.
I can't tell if I'm included in the fanboy insults, but just in case, here are my fanboy bona fides. Twenty years ago, I owned a Mac for about a year. The only other Apple product I've owned is my iPod Touch, which is pushing 4 years old. I don't even own $AAPL at the moment.

In your router setup port forwarding to local port 3389 on the target IP address. For the port range you can use 3389 as well or any other available port.

I agree. They both come from trees, have an outer skin, have seeds, sold at the same places, within the same color scheme and have a tang to them. They are basically the same.

so then would i access it via a browser or through remote desktop and enter in the ip:port?

Are you talking Chromebook? Just install the chrome remote desktop app and install the little chrome remote utility on your PC. That's it.

Kinda, you have to use 2x or another remote client, but I would also set up a ddns.

Cad and I went separate directions. It's been at least a year but I wasn't a fan of chrome remote.

I believe it. Can't beat the price.
I've had 3 Mac laptops and love them but my next will be a chromebook.
The chromebook costs as much as a new damn battery for a mac.

That doesn't make sense based on everything I know about Steve Jobs.
His vision of changing the world from back in the 1980s sees a future where the entry point into an apple computer in 2016 starts at $1,500?
You don't think that Apple cares about an insanely great sub $200 laptop that can blanket the world in their ecosystem?
Apple computer pricing has remained virtually the same for 20 years. Incredible.
I get selling a premium product to the faithful for huge margins is in their interests but if they were true to their former vision they would be embracing the Chromebook phenomenon and releasing their own alternative.
Instead they have accepted the status quo and are content to rake in huge profits in a complete philosophical 180 from their 1984 commercial message.
I have no problem with Apple's approach to making money..but to wrap themselves in the smug blanket that they are the underdog and want to change the world is sickening.

That's so out to lunch I'm not even going to try to unravel it. For all I can tell, it's a troll. If, however, you are sincere and want to learn the correct way to think about things, read my prior posts until they sink in.

They didn't with netbooks, they might with chrome books, but I don't think so. I think Google is even showing that the browser as an OS isn't mass-tenable by bringing android apps to chromeOS.

Their answer for this, like it or not, is the $269 iPad mini.

THEY'RE BEING OUTSOLD BY CHROMEBOOKS (and Android and Windows and Roku) BUT THEY'RE NOT THE UNDERDOG???? Isn't that the whole point of this thread? That they are not the top dog? TBH, they've never been the top dog in any hardware market sans iPod.
