(No Johnnie Walker Red in the Madden house.) I ended up with a Google Pixelbook that I paid about $1700 for.īefore you shout, “WHAT? 1700 dollars for a CHROMEBOOK? ARE YOU ON DRUGS?!?”, let me assure you this is not your kid’s Chromebook.
As an unmarried child-free person, I naturally looked for the most expensive Chromebook I could find. I got a quick case of FOMO and I wanted to try one too. But here was a coworker of mine, working at a company where employees can literally use whatever device they want, using a Chromebook! On purpose! This was a surprise to me, since as far as I knew, Chromebooks were super-cheap devices for kids. When the presentation was over, I went up to him and asked, “Dude, so what actual laptop is in your bag that you really use?” He said, “No, for real, I actually use a Chromebook." He did the entire presentation from a Chromebook, and made a comment to the audience about how it was his primary computing device. During my first week at VMware, I attended an event where my new colleague Matt Lesak spoke to an audience about VMware’s EUC strategy. Most readers know I took a break from the IT industry from mid-2016 until I started at VMware in early 2018.
