Finally decided to buy a Chromebook after hearing mixed reviews on the overall experience. So I never invested in one until the Samsung Chromebook 2 in Fiesta Red went on a massive sale down to $299 from $699. Has a QLED HD 1080p display and of course from Samsung and it's by far and away the best feature of the Chromebook 2. The build quality is of high end and I recommend going for the 128gb 8gs RAM with the i3 core processor which is plenty enough horsepower and is every bit as seemingly fast as an i5 core processor. So far I have enjoyed the user experience. I like the size of the display and it's overall size at 13.3 inch display makes it very versatile being a 2n1 touch screen and turning it into tablet mode with the 360 hinges. Lastly the keyboard is great. The keys have adequate spacing and the feedback has a good feel. The track pad which I rarely use because I also bought a fully Bluetooth mouse from Best Buy also to use with it which I recommend as well. If not the track pad is fine. It's not too small and is smooth and easy to use. It comes with two Type C ports, headphone jack, and a micro SD card slot. I actually went into it with a mindset that I would just try it and return it but to end I will say, that I have used it every day and night since it arrived over a week ago browsing the web or navigating the apps. The battery life is awesome. Easily will give you over 10 hours between charges. If you are looking for a great laptop type experience that actually runs browser type full desktop format and runs mobile apps giving you a mixed use and all for of that at only $299 and lastly it looking flat out cool in the Red color and the aluminum build quality. At $299 it's a win all day long and you just can't go wrong for the sales price. If in question, get it! You will be glad you did! I'm actually typing this review on mine now. The QLED Samsung display is worth the $299 alone itself so it's massive savings! Grab one and enjoy with pleasure!

I love the beautiful Red color. I love the color and the brightness of the screen. I love how I can use it as a computer and a tablet if I need to. I love the light keys when it is dark. If you are use to a USB port, it has none. I did not know that when I bought it, but it was cool, I got an adapter and it is awesome. I love the clearness of the screen and how bright that it looks. I am very happy with it.

The Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2 impresses with its sleek body and lightweight design, complemented by a beautiful color. Its fast processing power ensures smooth performance. However, the absence of a USB-A port for a wireless mouse might inconvenience some users. Overall, with its impressive features and value for the price, it's a beautiful device worth considering.
