Running illustrator in a virtual machine

Hi,

I have a small screen printing company and will be replacing 4 laptops with chromebooks which access virtual machines via the browser. These virtual machines are sitting on a small server with an i7 processor and 32gb of ram. I was curious if anyone has had any experience running adobe illustrator in a virtual machine of a similar setup and if the performance is sufficient for everyday use of vector graphics. The only hardware graphics is the integrated graphics found in the i7 6700. I was worried if that would be a problem given I do not have a dedicated gpu since virtual machines virtualize the gpu. We use adobe illustrator cs6 by the way.
