I'm not a big fan of cloud space YET. Although there are times when i'd rather use a hard drive based product, the Chromebook is perfect for when I am studying or waiting for other classes to begin. It is a very handy tool for educational and leisure purposes. Next to my S3, this is my new best friend!

All Around Amazing

I bought this at my local best buy. I was looking at this or the HP Chromebook. Don't waste your money on the HP!!!!! This thing even though made of plastic feels amazing. Keyboard is better than a Mac. 2GB of ram on this thing are all you really should need for your everyday browsing. Google's alternatives to on board apps are amazing. If you are a more modern computer user this is all you need. This is coming from a student. This does everything I could ever have expected and wanted it to. And then a lot more.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, insane battery life

I have only had my Chromebook for five days. Before buying, I did make myself live in a Chrome-only environment on my PC for a few days. The changeover is nothing. I like the Google Drive and Cloud Printing.
Mine boots from OFF in six seconds. It is ready to go when I am. The apps work just fine. But the big thing is that it is just so fast. I am amazed. It is a perfect machine for the Internet world.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, fast and sexy

I preordered the new Samsung Chromebook and it was delivered 2 days before leaving on a 7 day trip. I downloaded an ebook and read offline on the planes and throughout trip. I got free Wi-Fi connections at both airports. The 11.6" Chromebook fits on the aircraft tray table perfectly. I love the very fast start/resume/shut down. Free Wi-Fi at the resort kept me in close contact with email and wesites for election news. We watched Boardwalk Empire on HBOGO at the resort. Even though their Wi-Fi signal was weak, with limited bandwidth, the video played smoothly with only a few buffering pauses. I am looking forward to Netflix support for the ARM processor. I've been using cloud services for years and so far the new Samsung Chromebook has done everything I need or want it to. It's replacing a (relatively) heavy 15" notebook around the house and is much more convenient and comfortable on my lap. The keyboard and trackpad are the best I've ever used. So far I haven't found the need to fire up a notebook or use my home office desktop for anything. Since I have multiple Windows PCs available at home and always have a smartphone on travel, the Wi-Fi only aspect of the new Chromebook will not be an issue for me.

Chrome Rocks

Technological advances accelerated in a multitude of venues in 2012, including hybrids of netbooks and cloud computing. The Samsung Chromebook retails at an affordable amount, and provides multiple opportunities for users to become more acquainted with cloud computing.
I needed to choose between a tablet and the Chromebook. I went with the Chromebook because it gives me access to documents, music, movies, and more. I can watch online classes, and type papers/notes at the same time. The keyboard is laid out well, and I appreciate the visual cheatsheet of shortcuts one can access. i don't like the noise from the trackpad clicks; it becomes annoying after awhile. However, this can be worked around with a usb wireless keyboard and mouse combo.
The Chromebook comes equipped with three ports: HDMI, USB 2.0 & 3.0. It also has a SD card slot. It boots up quickly, and is easy enough to navigate. Those unfamliar with Google Chrome may need some additional time to learn how to navigate; however, it will not take very long.
Audio is a bit muffled as the speakers are on the bottom -- not exactly well thought out in my opinion. I would have preferred the speakers on the keyboard side. However, there is a headphone jack so external speakers can be plugged in as well.
The only drawback some may find is that one cannot download software and things of that sort like one does on a laptop and desktop computers. A user can use the Chromebook offline, including write emails and use Google Docs. Once a user finds wi-fi again everything will sync up. If one does not have reliable access to wi-fi for long periods of time, one may become frustrated.
Overall, I would recommend this product.

Just purchased this product and it took me less then 30 minutes to set it up and to sync with my existing Google account.
