What device is going to have my PowerPoint slides, my IDE, my logged in AWS account, etc and everything else I need for demos?

Where I work, every conference room in every corporate office has a TV and a dongle that you can plug in via either HDMI or USB C.

Any thin client would do.

I’m going to have a “thin client” with my exact setup and my IDE, PowerPoint slides etc? Are you proposing that I work from a thin client? What happens when I’m working from home?

[lostmsu]

It's only for meeting rooms.

So in a meeting, is this person who is presenting going to copy everything they need from their desktop? If it’s a group meeting will no one else have their computers with them?

1. I don't think you understand what a thin client is.

2. I have found that face-to-face meetings where other people bring their laptops usually means that they get distracted and don't participate.

You’re right, I am new to this whole cloud stuff, it’s not like I actually work for the largest cloud provider in the world in the consulting department where it’s my job to know this (hint: I do).

It’s also not like I wrote my first line of code in 1986 (Hint guess what the 74 in my name signifies).

Now that hopefully we can dispense with the idea that I don’t know how this computer stuff works. Please answer the question. How do I get everything I need from my computer to this thin client? How do I keep my environment in sync with this thin client?
