For enterprises, Chrome OS Flex also supports network deployment for multiple devices at once. There are also a few added goodies that come with the Chrome Enterprise Upgrade, such as the ability to remotely wipe or disable devices, impose log-in restrictions, control the cadence of software updates, enable identity-free login, and remotely manage all of the devices in the group using the Google Admin console, among others.
Google claims that devices running Chrome OS Flex are “secure, boot fast, don’t slow down over time, update automatically in the background.” From the security standpoint, Chrome OS Flex is touted to be a more robust alternative as it blocks all executables and relies on a sandboxing tech, which means users don’t have to worry about installing antivirus tools, either. In fact, Chromebooks can do quite a few things.
Another notable aspect that Google is actively pushing as a Chrome OS Flex virtue is its ability to salvage old computing machines, preventing them from becoming yet another pile of e-waste. Plus, Chrome OS Flex is also said to consume 19 percent less energy on average, so there’s less burden on the electricity bills, too. Google does note that there are a few differences between core Chrome OS and Chrome OS Flex, though, such as the absence of a verified boot due to lack of a Google security chip and vulnerability to attacks due to the non-availability of a Trusted Platform Module (TPM), as explained in a Google Support document.
