I fell in love with the device as soon as I got it. I always wanted an instant on device. I tried several builds of Linux, Splashtop etc. But this is amazing as its supported by Google. Being a fan of Google products, its cool product to have. I have now completely kept my 6 pound laptop at office and I just carry this around. When I need a serious productivity application, I just remote into my laptop.
with a great battery life, its perfect for a whole days.
Another great thing is that its inexpensive and can be used by people who dont now much about computers and mostly use PC for internet.
Purchased for my kids as a low-maintenance system for their online course work. It's light but sturdy. Boot and resume times are fantastic. Nice screen.
Don't expect any power usage out of this device, but at this price point, if all you need to do is web browsing and light office work, this is a great option.
i love my chromebook,but when i first got it from ups i was so excited to get it ( i have save $10 a month for 27 months for a laptop and thought i would have to save longer to get a new one i am from a low income family and then when i was on i saw that i could get a new samsung chromebook for i research it and thought it was a great deal so i bought it) anyway after i got it out of the package and turned it on it didnt work,i was upset and called samsung we trouble shooted it and they wanted me to send it in for repair it took 2 week and got it back and now it works great and i love it
This is really a great device. It is so light, gets you connected, and has a keyboard that fits your hands. It also has offline capabilities for email and google docs and other items so you are not stuck if there no wifi around. Meanwhile, most 4G smartphones are now able to be their own hotspot, so you can use that in a pinch.
It is so light it can go anywhere, but just don't drop it. Mine fell from a chair to a carpeted floor (not very far) and cracked the screen.
