I'm thinking about buying a Chromebook (don't laugh) for a couple of reasons some relating to my clients and others personal. I'm seeing and sometimes participating in a pretty big move to the Google (and Microsoft) Cloud this year. I haven't tried the Chromebook yet - I realize I won't be able to use the full MS cloud with a CBook.
The reviews on Amazon and Newegg are pretty good if you understand and agree to the machines' limits.
I can't seem to find any one, even with a Google search, who has direct experience with the ChromeBook and PNC online Banking.
Could I assume that if my banking website works on the Chrome browser (It does) that it would - most likely - work on the ChromeBook which is just one big browser? I thought the CBook would be a pretty good and secure banking computer if I could get it to work.

Thanks,
Timmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

See you in VB!!

Its a good question to ask Tim. I always assumed that my Android phone had a chrome browser - it does not. The chrome Browser is in Beta for Android devices

However, Chrome Books do run the Chrome Browser, you should be good to go.

So yes, your online banking should work.

Thank you! I'm gonna give it a try. I like my iPad and it's also an extremely crippled but strangely usefull computer. Ditto the iPhone.

Thanks again!
