Chrome apps tend to simply be bookmarks to websites, so don't get too excited about apps on a Chromebook. You can install apps from the Chrome Web Store. You certainly have access to Gmail and Google Drive. Most of what we do is now browser-based, so having a computer that's just a browser might meet your needs. You see, the Chrome OS is basically just Google's Chrome browser. For that price, why wouldn't you just buy a Windows or Linux notebook instead? You could install the Chrome browser on a cheap notebook and have many more features than a Chromebook. Until recently, notebooks running Google's Chrome Operating System were priced around $350. In addition to the high price tag, another negative is that I sometimes have to plug the tiny USB receiver into a USB hub into order to get it to work properly. I charge it once for every two days of usage.
The Cube can also be a wireless mouse and it charges via USB. If you need to go backwards, flip the Cube upside-down and click. While in PowerPoint or Keynote, clicking will advance to the next slide. It has just one large button that you click/squeeze. The Logitech Cube (which is actually a rectangular prism) is my new cool-looking (available in black or white) radio frequency remote. The receiver that plugs into USB, and there's no set up involved. So I like stick with a dependable and old-fashioned radio frequency remote. My adventures take me places where I have to set up quickly. However, remote apps have to be set up, and wirelessly pairing isn't very dependable. (Or worse, we've all been subjected to presentations where there is a helper that takes orders from the presenter to advance the slides.) Yes, I know I can use an iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch to control my slideshows. Using a remote allows me to walk about the room, instead of having to click my laptop's mouse button for each slide. I've used an aging Keyspan Presentation Remote for years. I like to use a remote to click my way through presentations.
