Why the "...."? Do you think she will have a problem using it?

Told her that it wouldn't run Microsoft Office (and others) programs before buying it. After buying it, she talked about work stuff and I reminded her she couldn't (easily) use it for that and told her she would have to bring her work laptop home. She seemed a little annoyed/frustrated. Also, the screen size is quite a bit smaller than her previous laptop.

Has she tried Office Online? That could work as a compromise with the Chromebook. The other programs she might use, I dunno.

Office Online sucks. At least the last time I tried to use it. Remote desktop would be a better option.

It's still not great. I only use it in absolute desperation. The reason I suggested it is because we have some persons at work who seem okay with it.

She could setup Remote Desktop on her work machine and have the chromebook take control. google has their own free Remote Desktop url in the chrome browser.

That is what I was referring to. I use it for my server since it doesn't have a monitor.

- Yeah I always bring my work laptop home. Mostly because I might not be at the same site the next day. But I do agree with her about the Chromebook screen size. One of my customer's purchased 2 Chromebooks (one for her and one for her mom) and wanted me to "set them up" for her... Which I did but while setting them up I noticed they were pretty small. 11" size maybe?

Yeah, it is 11". You can get them in 15" as well, but she was coming from a 15" laptop that she thought was too big.

What would be my better option for backup and extra storage, just an external drive or a NAS or something else?

Unless you need to take the drive to various places, I would just buy another internal drive. You have the space.
