We bought a ChromeBook for testing the web app. It did quite well. 

It has a lot of different meanings but in my industry 'zero footprint' has 
become a buzzword in RFPs. In this case it means no additional software 
installed on the computer beyond a browser. 

There are two advantages. All updates on done on the server so there is no 
need to update each machine. The second is there nothing stored on the 
computer. If the laptop is stolen, assuming they can get into it, it's 
essentially a generic laptop from BestBuy.
