My Chromebook Beats Your MacBooks

This is not a dig at Apple. OK, maybe a little. There is this projector we use for internal presentations. It is supposed to accept HDMI output. Every time we do presentations our guys try to connect their MacBooks to the projector using those fancy DisplayPort-to-HDMI cables and sooner or later the projector goes out of sync and kills the presentation. Today was no exception.

Fortunately, I had my brand new, 7 hour-old Chromebook with me. It has an HDMI port, so I simply plugged it into the projector, connected to the network, pulled slides from Google Slides and it worked. Simply worked.

Now, when was the last time I’ve heard that phrase before?
