Chromebook vs Windows Tablet

This is a special Technology posting from the Tucson Food Guy...

Lately I have been using both a Samsung Chromebook and a Samsung Ativ Tablet PC... I like them both. Actually I like the Chromebook better. But my go to for now is going to be the Tablet PC...

I look forward to the day when the Chromebook will be my only travel computer, but that is a bit off. Here is what needs to happen...

1) Support for GoToMeeting. Kiwanis uses GotoMeeting for a lot of webinars and also for our District Board meetings. Chromebook can not run GotoMeeting right now. Run it and your closer to my business.

2) Tablet - I like having the tablet with the Keyboard dock of the Ativ... If and when Chromebook goes to Tablet form which rumors say could happen and they have a proper keyboard dock then I would get it.

The only computer I left off which I did have was the Microsoft Surface Pro... It was too heavy... The Ativ does everything the surface pro did but less weight. Come on MS... You can do better.
