Tech Tip–Manage Your Computer Remotely
Today’s tech tip features a web application that I’ve been looking for–a remote desktop solution. I recently purchased a HP laptop. It was time. My desktop was hampering me more and more as I continued to delve into freelancing.
However, I didn’t want to get rid of my desktop. Instead, I use it as a media center. My media set up complete with Bose computer speakers resides on my desktop. I’ll play music, primarily Pandora Radio, from this computer. I’ll admit to being a bit lazy. When I get ready to plant myself on the couch for the night, that’s it. I don’t want to get up again. I don’t want to get up to turn off the computer. Usher in LogMeIn.com.
I use the free, non-commercial version to control my desktop from my laptop computer. I play my music, favorite songs, skip songs, all from the comfort of my couch.
Installation was quick and painless. Within 10 minutes, I was up and running on both computers. Transfer speed was fast, more than acceptable. When I was done, I was able to turn off the desktop without taking a step toward the other room. Connection is through a browser, so you can access your computers from wherever you are. Highly recommended remote desktop solution.
