You could remote to a Windows PC. I am not familiar enough with Chromebook's either, but the app store lists VNC Viewer, and I've read that Splashtop for Chromebook should be coming soon. With this sort of app, you can have your PC running at home, and then connect to it remotely via the cloud with your Chromebook. In theory at at least, you could launch Legacy at home remotely while out and about at the library or on the road doing research. The up side is no sync is necessary, you work in your own DB. I've seen Splashtop work (not for legacy) but its interface brings your windows desktop to your tablet as if you were sitting at your PC at home.
