chromebook刷机_适用于Chromebook和PC的传统台式机应用程序的30多种基于Web的替代品...

chromebook刷机

Whether you’re using a Chromebook or you’re just interested in switching from installed desktop apps to browser-based ones, web-based software can replace many of the programs people use on their computers — and can often improve on them.

无论您使用的是Chromebook还是只想从已安装的桌面应用程序切换到基于浏览器的应用程序，基于Web的软件都可以替代人们在计算机上使用的许多程序，并且常常可以对其进行改进。

One advantage to using web-based apps is that they’ll natively sync across you devices — for example, to your smartphone. Your data will always be backed up and accessible away from your computer.

使用基于Web的应用程序的一个优势是，它们可以在您的设备之间进行本地同步，例如同步到您的智能手机。您的数据将始终被备份，并且可以从计算机上进行访问。

办公室 (Office)

Unless you’re a demanding Office user that makes use of macros and other advanced features in the desktop version of Microsoft Office, you would probably be just as happy with a web-based office suite — or maybe even happier, since web-based office suites are free.

除非您是要求苛刻的Office用户，并且需要使用Microsoft Office桌面版中的宏和其他高级功能，否则您可能会对基于Web的Office套件感到满意，甚至会更满意，因为基于Web的Office套房是免费的。

Google Docs allows you to open and create documents, spreadsheets, and presentations with the Docs, Sheets, and Slides apps built into Google Drive. Microsoft’s Office Web Apps allow you to use web-based versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote with interfaces similar to the desktop apps.

Google文档使您可以使用内置在Google云端硬盘中的“文档”，“表格”和“幻灯片”应用打开和创建文档，电子表格和演示文稿。 Microsoft的Office Web Apps允许您将Word，Excel，PowerPoint和OneNote的基于Web的版本与类似于桌面应用程序的界面一起使用。

We’ve covered these two office suites in more detail in the past — read our overview of Google Docs and Office Web Apps for more information. Best of all, both are completely free.

过去，我们已经详细介绍了这两个Office套件-请阅读Google Docs和Office Web Apps概述以获取更多信息。最好的是，两者都是完全免费的。

生产率 (Productivity)

Other productivity apps are also available in web-based form:

其他生产力应用程序也可以基于Web的形式提供：

Calendaring: Google Calendar offers a full-featured online calendar solution with recurring events, availability scheduling, and many other features. Microsoft also recently renovated their web-based calendar from the stuffy old Live Calendar into a Windows 8-style Calendar app. Both are solid choices. Google Calendar is the more mature application, but Microsoft’s Calendar is probably ideal if you’re tied to Microsoft’s ecosystem — for example, it can sync with the Windows 8 Calendar app, while Google Calendar can’t sync with Windows 8 anymore.

日历： Google日历提供了功能全面的在线日历解决方案，其中包含重复事件，可用性计划以及许多其他功能。微软最近还将其基于Web的日历从闷热的旧Live Calendar改造成了Windows 8风格的Calendar应用程序。两者都是可靠的选择。 Google日历是更成熟的应用程序，但是如果您与Microsoft的生态系统联系在一起，Microsoft的Calendar可能是理想的选择-例如，它可以与Windows 8 Calendar应用程序同步，而Google Calendar不再与Windows 8同步。
Tasks: Google offers its own simple task manager built into Gmail and Google Calendar. It’s not very full-featured, but if you need something simple that’s accessible from within both your email and calendar, it will do the trick. Task managers are a fairly common type of application, and many others are available — including Remember the Milk, Any.DO, and more. They can all be synced to your smartphone so you can access them on the go.

任务：Google提供了自己的简单任务管理器，内置在Gmail和Google日历中。它的功能不是很全，但是如果您需要在电子邮件和日历中都可以访问的简单内容，那么它就可以解决问题。任务管理器是一种相当常见的应用程序类型，还有许多其他应用程序可用-包括Remember the Milk ， Any.DO等。它们都可以同步到您的智能手机，因此您可以随时随地访问它们。
Notes: Without a doubt, Evernote is the most popular online note-taking app. Evernote is for more than notes — it can capture and store images, documents, and other types of files. Evernote can also be accessed with a Windows desktop app, so you don’t have to use it in your browser. Many other note-taking applications are also available, from the minimal Simplenote to Google’s new Google Keep note-taking solution. Microsoft’s OneNote is also available as a web app via Office Web Apps.

笔记：毫无疑问， Evernote是最受欢迎的在线笔记应用程序。 Evernote不仅仅是笔记，它还可以捕获和存储图像，文档和其他类型的文件。 Evernote也可以通过Windows桌面应用程序进行访问，因此您不必在浏览器中使用它。从最小的Simplenote到Google的新Google Keep笔记解决方案，还可以使用许多其他笔记应用程序。微软的OneNote也可以通过Office Web Apps作为Web应用程序使用。

通讯 (Communication)

Unsurprisingly, communication apps work very well in a browser — whether you want to email, send instant messages, or even have voice and video chats.

毫不奇怪，无论您想发送电子邮件，发送即时消息，还是进行语音和视频聊天，通信应用程序在浏览器中都能很好地运行。

Email: The three most common web-based email systems are Google’s Gmail, Microsoft’s Outlook.com (formerly Hotmail), and Yahoo! Mail. Gmail was once the undisputed winner, but Microsoft is competing more strongly with Outlook.com. Even Yahoo is now serious about improving Yahoo! Mail and its other web apps. We prefer Gmail, but Outlook.com is certainly a contender — and might even be preferable if you use Microsoft services or are still using an old @hotmail.com address as your main email address. Whichever solution you choose, you can forward mail from your old account and combine them into one email inbox with Gmail or Outlook.com

电子邮件：三种最常见的基于Web的电子邮件系统是Google的Gmail ，微软的Outlook.com (以前称为Hotmail)和Yahoo!。邮件。 Gmail曾经是无可争议的赢家，但Microsoft与Outlook.com的竞争更加激烈。甚至Yahoo现在也认真考虑改进Yahoo! 邮件及其其他Web应用程序。我们更喜欢Gmail，但Outlook.com无疑是竞争者-如果您使用Microsoft服务或仍使用旧的@ hotmail.com地址作为主要电子邮件地址，则甚至更可取。无论选择哪种解决方案，都可以从您的旧帐户转发邮件，并将其合并到Gmail或Outlook.com的一个电子邮件收件箱中
Messaging: Messaging features are built into many websites, with Google Talk built into Gmail, Skype and MSN built into Outlook.com, and Facebook chat built into Facebook’s website. If you still use other instant-messaging networks like AIM and Yahoo — or just want all your friends together in one place for chatting — we recommend imo.im as a strong web-based alternative to multiprotocol desktop instant-messaging programs like Pidgin and Trillian.

消息传递：消息传递功能内置于许多网站中，其中Google Talk内置于Gmail中，Skype和MSN内置于Outlook.com中，Facebook聊天内置于Facebook网站中。如果您仍然使用AIM和Yahoo等其他即时通讯网络，或者只是希望将所有朋友聚集在一个地方聊天，我们建议imo.im作为基于Web的强大替代方案，替代Pidgin和Trillian等多协议桌面即时通讯程序。
Voice and Video Chat: You can voice and video chat via Google Talk or Google Hangouts via Gmail or Google+. If you want to use Skype, you can use the Skype feature built into Outlook.com. However, Skype requires a plugin so it won’t work on a Chromebook — but it will on Windows PCs.

语音和视频聊天：您可以通过Google Talk进行语音和视频聊天，也可以通过Gmail或Google+进行Google环聊。如果要使用Skype，可以使用Outlook.com中内置的Skype功能。但是，Skype需要一个插件，因此它不能在Chromebook上运行，但可以在Windows PC上运行。
Social Networking: Of course, you don’t need a new web app for social-networking sites — everyone just uses the web app version of these anyway. It’s a good reminder of just how common web apps are — we’ve all been using web apps for everything from social networks to online banking and shopping without thinking of them as web apps.

社交网络：当然，对于社交网站，您不需要新的Web应用程序-每个人反正都只是使用这些版本的Web应用程序。这很好地提醒了人们常见的Web应用程序-从社交网络到在线银行和购物，我们所有人都一直在使用Web应用程序，而没有将它们视为Web应用程序。

玩音乐 (Playing Music)

We’re spoiled for choice when it comes to online-music services. Whether you want to upload your collection of MP3 files to the cloud and gain the ability to listen to them anywhere, subscribe to an all-you-can-eat music listening service that gives you access to 17+ million songs, or use a radio-like streaming service that just chooses what to play for you, you have a wide variety of choices.

当涉及在线音乐服务时，我们会选择很多。无论您是要将MP3文件的集合上传到云中并获得在任何地方收听它们的能力，订阅可以无限畅听的音乐收听服务(可让您访问超过17百万首歌曲)，还是使用广播就像流媒体服务一样，它只是为您选择要播放的内容，您可以有多种选择。

Music Lockers: Popular web-based music lockers include Amazon’s Cloud Player and Google Music (Apple’s iCloud isn’t accessible via a browser.) These services will scan your computer for music and give you access to copies of that music via a website and mobile apps. If they don’t yet have copies of that music, they’ll upload it for you. You can then access your music collection in a browser from anywhere without worrying about backing it up in case your music collection’s hard drive ever fails. Both Amazon and Google Music will sell you songs and allow you to store them in your online music locker as well as download them. These services are free — you’ll have to pay if you want to buy a song or store a very large number of songs.

音乐储物柜：基于Web的流行音乐储物柜包括Amazon的Cloud Player和Google Music (无法通过浏览器访问Apple的iCloud。)这些服务将扫描您的计算机中的音乐，并允许您通过网站和手机访问该音乐的副本应用。如果他们还没有该音乐的副本，他们会为您上传音乐。然后，您可以从任何地方在浏览器中访问音乐收藏，而不必担心备份，以防音乐收藏的硬盘出现故障。亚马逊和Google音乐都会向您出售歌曲，并允许您将它们存储在在线音乐柜中以及进行下载。这些服务是免费的-如果您想购买一首歌曲或存储大量歌曲，则必须付费。
All-You-Can-Eat Listening: If you want to give up on maintaining a music collection entirely, use a music-streaming service like Spotify, Rdio, or MOG. Many of these services offer some free plans, and paid plans will run you $5-$10 per month. You’ll get access to over 10 million songs (17+ million on Spotify, for example) that you can listen to in a browser or mobile app without having to worry about purchasing or downloading the music — just search and play.

全吃的聆听：如果您想完全保留音乐收藏，请使用Spotify ， Rdio或MOG之类的音乐流服务。其中许多服务都提供一些免费计划，付费计划每月将为您提供5至10美元。您将可以访问超过1000万首歌曲(例如，在Spotify上为17+百万首)，您可以在浏览器或移动应用程序中收听它们，而不必担心购买或下载音乐-只需搜索和播放即可。
Streaming Radio: Pandora allows you to build your own streaming radio station based on songs and artists you like. You can skip songs, but Pandora chooses the playlist for you. Slacker also offers streaming radio services with a variety of radio stations put together professionally as well as custom radio stations you can make. TuneIn Radio is the most like traditional radio — it allows you to listen to web-based streaming radio stations, the kind you would have played inside Winamp in the past. TuneIn Radio also gives you access to many terrestrial radio stations that stream online.

流媒体广播：借助Pandora ，您可以根据喜欢的歌曲和歌手建立自己的流媒体广播电台。您可以跳过歌曲，但Pandora会为您选择播放列表。 Slacker还提供流广播服务，其中包括各种专业的广播电台以及您可以制作的自定义广播电台。 TuneIn广播与传统广播最相似，它使您可以收听基于Web的流广播电台，就像过去在Winamp中播放的那样。 TuneIn Radio还使您可以访问许多在线流式传输的地面广播电台。

看视频 (Watching Videos)

Web-based video services have also improved, gradually reducing the need for BitTorrent clients and local video players or desktop media stores like iTunes. Unfortunately, most of these services primarily function in the USA.

基于Web的视频服务也得到了改进，逐渐减少了对BitTorrent客户端和本地视频播放器或iTunes等桌面媒体商店的需求。不幸的是，大多数这些服务主要在美国运行。

Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Instant Video are the most popular streaming video services with the largest selection. You can also often watch a variety of recent TV show episodes on the appropriate network’s website. Many websites will allow you to rent movies online — even YouTube allows you to purchase and rent movies and TV shows.

Netflix ， Hulu和Amazon Instant Video是选择最多的最受欢迎的流视频服务。您还可以经常在相应网络的网站上观看各种近期的电视节目。许多网站都允许您在线租借电影-甚至YouTube都允许您购买和租借电影和电视节目。

Online video streaming services are a bit complicated — unlike with music services, you will probably have to use several services to get all the videos you want to watch. Many services are also limited to the US — Netflix isn’t, but has very limited catalogs elsewhere — leaving users elsewhere in the world without much luck.

在线视频流服务有点复杂-与音乐服务不同，您可能必须使用多种服务来获取所有要观看的视频。许多服务也仅限于美国-Netflix不是，但其他地方的目录非常有限-使得世界其他地方的用户运气不佳。
