+ | J'ai déjà parlé de mon Toshiba Chromebook 2 qui sert de soutien à mon HP 15 Notebook sous openSUSE. Le prix au détail de ces deux ordinateurs portables se situe aux alentours de 250 $. Une rapide comparaison entre ces deux portables illustre la différence généralisée du matériel. Voir le tableau sur la page suivante. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Étant donné que le Toshiba Chromebook est un peu léger au niveau matériel, je conseille l' | ||
+ | * un hub USB pour étendre le nombre de ports USB ; | ||
+ | * un adaptateur USB Ethernet au cas où le Wi-Fi n'est pas disponible ; | ||
+ | * une souris sans fil pour anticiper les problèmes du pavé tactile ; | ||
+ | * un lecteur optique externe ; | ||
+ | * un périphérique de stockage externe, comme une clé USB ou une carte SD. | ||

+ | |||
+ | **The Chromebook is fast, but it takes some willingness to learn the “Chrome Workflow.”** | ||
+ | |||
+ | **openSUSE recognized my iPhone via USB and Bluetooth in every attempt to connect. My iPhone does not finalize the Bluetooth pairing to the Toshiba. Both rigs can tether to the iPhone extremely well. I wonder if an Android smartphone would work better with the Chromebook? Using Google Docs was not too bad, but I still like LibreOffice.** | ||
