50+ awsome Apps for Your New Chromebook
Chrome OS is a cutting edge operating system from Google that intends to change how we think about using a computer
Chrome OS, to oversimplify, is simply Chrome running on a stripped out custom Linux distro. Every task you’ll need to do will have to happen through a web app since you don’t really get your typical access to the file system and so can’t install traditional apps without tinkering in the kernel.
If that last sentence made you weep, wipe those tears away, little padawan. There are plenty of apps out there that can handle your typical workload. We, as developers, have gotten used to our cozy, customized setups but that doesn’t mean that we can’t change, when needed.
With that out of the way, let’s take a look at the apps you’ll need to become productive again – filtered into different categories. The majority are apps from the Chrome Web Store while the rest are normal web apps that provide a desktop like experience.

Another cool app is Ericom AccessNow, a pure HTML5 RDP client that enables Chromebook users to connect to any RDP host, including Terminal Server (RDS Session Host), physical desktops or VDI virtual desktops – and run their applications and desktops in a browser.
ReplyDeleteEricom‘s AccessNow does not require Java, Flash, Silverlight, ActiveX, or any other underlying technology to be installed on end-user devices – an HTML5 browser is all that is required.
