This Chromebook, is not definitely for me. I'm basically a Mac user, and this is not what I have expected. So I guess my review could not be really important in purchase decision. Up to the buyer to well know what use he wants to make of
I was scared at first to buy this since it was so cheap and I wasn't sure what my limitations were going to be. I was surprised to find out that I can still do A LOT with this, even when I am not around wifi. There are a lot of apps that you can still access when you are offline.
Chromebook is nothing, but an oversized phone with NO instructions. Bought it so I could download pictures from my cameras sim card, Can not share the pictures, can not adjust them. It has been a total waste of my money!!
overall the chromebook works as I expected based on prior research, however, it does take some getting used to as there are several differences between chromebook and windows PC- but the help menu is pretty good for information. I find that I still do not like that I cannot access the google play store- only the chrome webstore which has far more limited offerings, and I do not like that several extensions drain the battery so quickly- what was billed as 5-7 hours has never yet lasted that long- that said, I much appreciate the smaller size and lighter weight, but find that I still must use a combination of chromebook and windows based pc ......
Pros: Inexpensive, Lightweight, small size
Cons: no access to google play, extensions rapidly drain battery

Samsung definitely makes excellent technology; not only function but very simple. Bye bye to Windows. I will never buy a windows computer again. I will buy another one down the road.
I didn't grow up with computers. There was a definite learning curve for me, but I love my Chromebook. I find myself using it more and more. It is fast, less prone to infectious attacks, and just handy! It starts up so much faster that my desktop is getting very lonely.
