Product Manuals

Q: Does it come with an HDMI and usb port?

A: No it does not have an HDMI output. But it does have USB-C ports which are capable of outputting video and audio to a HDMI display by using a USB-C to HDMI adapter cable.

Q: Before purchasing, I'd like to know FOR SURE, that this unit has navigating capabilities, e.g., GPS MAPS...

A: As far as I know there is no GPS chip in the machine. There is no cellular on it as well. I have had this computer out in the open numerous times and the only time it is able to find its location is when I connect it too my phone as a hot spot

Q: I am having a problem with my Galaxy Chromebook 2, it will not auto rotate. Anyone else having this problem? How do I fix this? It will auto rotate 90 degrees in vertical mode, but when I turn to tent mode or flat tablet mode, it will not auto rotate.

A: Seems to be a Samsung thing even though my 4 year old chromebook plus works properly. I had the same problem so I checked other demos at Best Buy and they all worked fine. They also had the same Chrome OS build number so it doesn't seem to be an update problem either. I returned it for that (and the horrible camera).

Q: Should I buy the 8GB Ram model or is 4GB enough? I usually keep 10-15 chrome browser tabs open at a time.

A: You may get by with the 4GB, as long as your have noting else open with the browser and not running HD video on all of them. But, as I always recommend, if you can afford the 8GB, go with it..

Q: Can you use this and transfer galaxy phone

A: Yes! There is a very easy to use Hub bottom right corner that you can connect your device to.

Q: Does this have a back-lit keyboard?

A: Yes, fully lit when being used/typing and will dim when not used (e.g. watching a movie).

Q: Audio sounds tinny. Like on YouTube, someone is talking and their voice goes normal sounding then tinny sounding, back and forth. Anyone else experiencing this? Is this a defect?

A: I haven't experienced any audio issues of that sort.

Q: Are there any recommended cases for protecting this model of Chromebook?

A: I personally use my backpack that has a separate laptop area. It protects it very nicely. I also have a sleeve for it if I don't take my backpack. Anything will work as long as it has a protective shell and padding will do a good job.
