    "If you know what you're buying, you'll be happy."

    May 31, 2012  |   By daengbo

    Pros

    1) Secure -- signed from the top to the bottom and virtually unhackable if you don't enable "Developer mode."
    2) Thin and light

    Cons

    1) Limited choice of apps
    2) Limited hardware choices

    Summary

    If you are buying this, it's probably because you're already living in the cloud and can handle moving there full time. If you wonder whether you will be able to make the transition, you should probably stay away and change your app needs on your old platform first.

    This equipment seems perfect for Google Apps schools and businesses. The integrated management console makes all that really hard managed-IT stuff painless. Deploy "apps." Set policies. All that stuff without needing multiple servers and a dedicated IT staff to handle the management and backup side.
