  • QuestionI'm debating between a chrombook or this model windows...would this laptop be on the same level as a chromebook. ?

    Asked by Jeanne.

    • Answer The operating systems are different within a Chromebook, which uses Chrome Operating System and a Windows 10 computer. This will play a roll in the APPs/programs that you can run on the device. Check the requirements and compatibility of the APPs/programs you want to run on your device and choose your operating system based on the work you want to do.

  • QuestionI will need to use this laptop to log onto a VPN network and then log into older system operating a private software for their operation. Will this laptop work for that type of environment.

    Asked by tkpatrick.

    • Answer That will depend on the requirements of the VPN software, then the requirements and compatibility of the older software. We recommend you check with the software publisher's web site for their compatibility with Windows 10 S-Mode 64-bit operating system (There is a 30-day trial of Microsoft Office 365 included as part of the Windows 10 operating system. In order to keep the program active after the trial period, you will need to purchase a product key. You will not need to download any additional software.) and the minimum/recommended hardware requirements (Is a Graphics card required, the processor speed and the minimum required system RAM and the minimum available hard drive space) to run their program, then compare those requirements to this system's configuration.
