I love this product for what it is. If you're thinking you're getting a full laptop, this product is not for you. But if you do know what you are getting then I would definitely recommend this chrome book.
Worked perfect for 9 months was very happy with product, but then it started to freeze up and disconnect from the internet. looked around at google chrome website and samsung website for help but got no where. will have to send it for service I guess but that hurts the idea of it being affordable
Great for writers! I'm a student who wants to become an author, and though this keyboard isn't the best thing out there, for this price it's really good.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Lightweight, great keyboard
My husband and I both have Samsung phones and love them so we already knew that Samsung makes quality products. When my eldest daughter's school went to this model for one to one computing and to replace textbooks for the lower class men, I researched this piece of technology because I thought we might have been required to purchase one. She wound up not being part of the group that uses one to one computing since she is a senior this year. The school chose to phase them in with freshmen and sophomores.
Turns out that my middle child, a 12-year old, already uses this type of device in school. He had been trying to lay his hands on my husband's laptop for school assignment. (They use google docs.) My husband didn't like to have to give up his laptop so I got our son a Chromebook, just like what he will need in high school. When I opened the Chromebook, my son knew just how to use it for his school projects. I'm the one who made him charge it overnight before he could use it and he was raring to go. I only had to show him a few setup items on it but it works fine. He is learning how to touch type better and likes not having to write his reports out on paper first. He says it saves him a lot of time.
We also have a 7-year old who is using the chromebook for some of her school enrichment assignments. I can't seem to wrestle the thing away from either of them. I like that the keyboard is a little smaller than a standard keyboard. It seems to fit younger and older hands equally well. The battery lasts the whole day and we charge it at night. I liked the fact that this is half the price of a laptop computer and that I wouldn't have to constantly make sure they update virus packages and such. I also bought a protective cover for this because I was concerned about durability and scratches on the finish. This model has so many third party options for covers and that is another nice thing about it.
Our 7-year old's school buys several subscriptions that work well on the chromebook. She can read books on Raz-kids and complete her reading logs. There are several more websites and apps that she uses.
Samsung has got us though but in a good way. When your kids are practically fighting over something it means they like it. We will be buying another one for our 7-year old since they are seeming to both want to use this tool at the same time.
The best return on my investment was when my son brought his report card home. All As and Bs and I think helping him with his access to educational tools was a big part of it.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, gives kids a reason to learn to type
Perfect for college in which your constantly moving from class to class and taking notes.
Great battery life, starts up in a few seconds, and have rarely had issues in which I could not use it due to lack of internet connections.
Great for the price and exactly what I need for college. No need to carry around a heavy laptop, and have yet to have to switch to a desktop.
If your looking for a tablet, this is not for you, but if your looking for a laptop that has the portability of a tablet, the chromebook has the best bang for its bucks.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color, Lightweight, long battery life, cloud storage system
The Samsung Chromebook is a good product. At first I was having some trouble with the Wi-Fi connection turning off by itself, but, after a few updates the problem was resolved…I hope.
I have had the Series 3 Chromebook for almost one year. It has been very reliable and fun to use. Also, very productive as Google has made improvements to Chrome OS during the period I've owned it.
It delivers on the promise of getting faster. It crashed once during the first week of use but has been problem free ever since. Note, I have only been on the Stable channel.
Keep up the good work Samsung !!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, nice and thin, good looking attention getter
