My 13 year old son inadvertently made me realize the Chromebook function as I have thus far envisioned has been quite narrow.

One can plug the HDMI cable into the big screen TV and mirror the Chromebook screen, and read ecg's.

By using google file, one can store on the Chromebook or in the cloud, a slide presentation created with Google slide, which is like power point. So one can do a presentation, with or without the internet, as long as one has a projector with an HDMI port.

One of the main reasons I went with a laptop instead of desktop was limitation of space in my two exam rooms. Thinking off the cuff, one could easily mount a wall screen and if xrays, graphs or labs needed to be visualized easily, plugging into the Chromebook and mirroring could easily be done. I have not had a need for this much at all, but this feature does open up possibilities I had not thought of.

I apologize if most of this is evident to others, but just trying to catch up to the 21st century! wink
