This had received high praise from the experts, and therefore it was my first choice of laptops/notebooks, so Santa gave me a Chromebook for Christmas, and while I've got some practicing to do to get used to a slightly different keyboard (I've only ever owned a full-sized desktop computer), already I'm falling in love with this wonderful little notebook! Open the top, and presto!, it's ON (my old computer takes 20 minutes to boot up), which is like magic to me! The thousands of apps and extensions available are fun to explore and download, making it my very own, Pages load instantly, too, and no pop-ups or advertisements, wow! The case color was my #1 choice, a nice, elegant-looking silver-gray color, and I like the sort of "soft," textured feel of it and the "stitching" around the edge, too. Recharging is a dream--I let the battery get about halfway down, then recharge in about 45 minutes while I'm surfing the web, what could be more convenient? I have only good things to say about my Chromebook!
I am absolutely amazed at Samsung for developing another great device. The style is sleek and stylish, the size is just great for traveling because it is the definition of portable. ANd I love that it automatically connects me with my gmail account and browser history. Fabulous Product!!!
this device is perfect for what it is . simple throw around internet browser.
Pros: Inexpensive
I would recommend this to a friend!

I purchased my second Chromebook in June '15 because of the ease of use. It is small, lightweight, has good battery life, I chose Chromebook because I was very satisfied with my first. I like the OS that is simple to use. I am well pleased with my Chromebook.
It fills all my intended purposes for school. Speed is plus, no problems watching Netflix and using other similar sites. But, I will note I was confused and a later a little disappointed about the fact when typing up a paper g docs is the only option but it can easily convert to Word just can't can't create on Word.
Pros: Inexpensive, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: tricky to differentiate/locate apps/extensions
I would recommend this to a friend!

I LOVE it but the case is slippery. I worry about it slipping out of my hand. Needs a nonslip coating. Battery lasts a long time.
Best Chromebook with premium looks. It is so thin, light and has best display. You just need 5 to 10 minutes to setup this device. It has two USB ports, One HDMI port, MicroSD slot, Built in speakers and a headphone jack. This is very usable and capable laptop for anyone who spends the majority of their computing time online.
This became my daily go to device for Taking notes, Social networking, writing a paper or post at the coffee shop, checking your email, browsing and watching videos. This has Document and Spreadsheet apps capable of working offline and then seamlessly syncing any work you’ve done to the cloud once you’re back on Wi-Fi. You can also do your hangouts with built-in webcam. This Chromebook charges so quickly and it can last for 7 to 8 hours video watching. Another major thing it will not burn your lap with all those typical laptop heating issues.
I have been using my new Chromebook for about 2 weeks now and I love it! At work it boots faster than the ATIV book and it is more portable too. Run time is great! I can get though a day of emails, reports, browsing, Excel, and PowerPoint with 20-30% charge left when I get home (8 to 9.5 hr day). The build quality improvements make the new Chrome Book 2 more rigid than the first Chrome Book. Overall, This is a great device for work and leisure.
