The Lenovo's desktop was badly shrunk within the Chromebook's browser window, making it very difficult to read anything on the screen and impossible to hit small icons with the mouse. Whilst making the connection wasn't too painful, actually manipulating the desktop was. I used Chrome Remote Desktop to hook into my Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga X1, wondering whether it would let me use InDesign, Photoshop and all the other apps for which there's no good Chromebook equivalent. You might think that one way around some of the app restrictions we've identified would be to remote desktop into your regular PC. The other downside is the same one that afflicted the Slack app the default font size is fixed and uncomfortably small to read for a fortysomething. If your Chromebook has stylus support, OneNote instantly kicks into Draw mode when your stylus come in contact with the screen, letting you scribble notes or draw a diagram without fuss. There's little in the way of editing options, but arguably that's not a major drawback for a note-taking app. That said, the app's mobile-first design does work well in windowed mode, allowing you to pop a small OneNote window on top of, for example, the web browser and make notes while referring to the content in the background.

Maybe it's just ingrained muscle memory, but having notebook sections running vertically down the side of the screen rather than horizontally across the top just feels awkward and wrong on a landscape screen. It feels like a stretched mobile app, rather than the full-blown desktop app I'm used to.

Of all the main Office apps, OneNote is the one that struggles most with operating on a full-size laptop screen.

Use class 8 or higher SD-card for the best results.On the plus side, it coped fine with a password-protected worksheet, but overall it's probably best to think of Excel for Android as more of a glorified worksheet reader than a true Excel replacement. If you have a cheap/bad SD-card apps will be a lot slower than when they ran from the internal storage. Also, any apps on the SD-card will be gone if you boot your device without an SD-card. Keep in mind that the ext2 partition will be reserved and no non-app files can be stored in the reserved space (like photos, music, videos).

Install Link2SD and select the new partition when you are to select one.

Create a new primary, ext2 partition in the free space (some tutorials use ext4 but ext4 is less fit for solid state storage like SD-cards).

Resize the existing FAT32 partition of your SD-card to create some space for apps.

Install Minitool Partition Wizard and insert your SD-card into your computer.

Always make backups of everything just to be sure.

Most tutorials will guide you every step, but it all comes down to this: You don't have an HTC device so you can ignore the S-OFF stuff. You can follow any tutorial like this one or this one to set it up. Link2SD (and similar apps) allow you to reserve some part of your SD-card for app storage by allow you to use an ext2/ext4 partition as data storage. If you have an external SD card about 4GB+, you can easily extend the amount of storage your apps can use by using an app like Link2SD. You have root, and this page says you can insert a MicroSD card into your phone so Link2SD might be an option. This does not solve the problem of storage shortage, it will only delay it. This will sync all history/bookmarks and some settings across your devices, so if you clear the data after syncing your data will appear again after logging in again. If the 'data' part of the apps is taking too much space, you should enable Chrome sync. Clearing your cache will not delete user accounts or settings. How much space this takes up is determined by the developer.ĭata is the actual app data and cache consists of temporary files that can be deleted any time.

The app size is the size of the app code and its data. The size of the apps are determined by two factors: app size and data/cache size. I can see how you have problems if your device only has 2Gb of storage.
