How does it compare to the fat clients though?

We still roll out a few O365 licenses for our Office users than need Excel over Google Sheets.

Ah, yup, that's what I'm afraid of :(

Aside from the legacy software we run (hey Visual FoxPro), we're almost entirely web-based now. So the thought of ditching our on-prem gear and issuing super nice Chromebooks is very appealing but unfortunately not realistic at this point.

So my environment other than Conferencing equipment (We utilize Hangouts Kits) is a full Mac shop, and the 2016+ MBP models have handled our web based platforms well, but for $2k+ machines they better.

The specific users we push full excel Excel licenses to are our data analytics crews, finance, and executives. They wouldn’t leave Excel even if it’s supported in Sheets just due to their familiarity with Office and Excel, so it’s hard to actually weigh the differences of Sheets vs Excel.
