I purchased this at my local Best Buy. This is a good alternative to a tablet and much easier to use. Light weight but works just like a lap top with limited abilities. So far the Chrome book works fine. It is not fast like a $500.00 to $1000.00 lap top but it is easy to read emails and respond on an actual keyboard using the Logitech wireless tablet which I also purchased the same day. You can see in photos the Samsung Chrome Book opened with the Logitech wireless tablet along side. Both excellent price at my local Best Buy.

If you're looking for an on-the-go laptop, this one fits the bill. While it requires internet for full functionality (which, face it, what laptop these days doesn't?), you can't beat the price, weight, or output of this little beast.
Okay.. that was a bit overboard, but the point being, if you just need a work laptop or an occasional browser, this is a good one to get.

I first bought the chrome book as a Christmas present for my 15 year old son. Then I bought another one for my 13 year old son for school !! It was such a success with them I decided to buy one for my 8 year old daughter. They each love it !! Each of them are on it for hours. For either school or leisure!! It is super fast, light to carry, connects to WiFi quickly, great performance and quick access to all sites, secure browsing and surfing, and easy to use right out the box! We have no complaints. Thanks Best Buy !

I really only use cloud-based applications for work, so this computer was the perfect option - and it was so cheap! It runs like a dream, has a great battery life, and the OS is very intuitive especially if you already have an Android device. It is very small and lightweight, making it very easy to travel with. I have always had a larger laptop with a 10-key, but I haven't missed the 10-key as much as I thought I would. The touchpad settings took a minute to get used to, and I still have accidental selections when scrolling which is quite annoying, but that's been my only complaint.

Great basic laptop

If all you need to do is surf the web and use basic Microsoft office, this is a great inexpensive laptop for you. It’s lightweight, compact, and does the job well. However, it is unable to run full versions of Microsoft office, only the basic versions, so I was unable to use Microsoft Excel the way I needed to. If you need the full capabilities of any Microsoft Office program, I would get a different laptop. Otherwise, this is a great choice for the price.

I needed a cheap, reliable, laptop-like device to take with me to Europe. This fit the bill - light, small, easily portable. All my hotels had wifi so I was able to keep up with work, record the videos I needed to post, and construct docs. Only negative - the keyboard mouse stinks, and the cursor keeps jumping up a few rows when left unused for a few seconds. I constantly had to reposition it and make sure I was typing in the right place. A real pain!!!!

The size & weight are okay but i travel once a year & prefer a it little smaller & lighter cause im the 1 w/ the over weight bags tho its nice & slim & fits in my carryon handbag nicely.
i find the touch pad too slippery to play online games. its fine for everything that i use it for email, google, movies & games

This is a great internet appliance, much like you'd use a blender or other appliance. It's simple to use:
-You can write documents in Google Drive
-Go online and stream video.
-Access Social Media
-It's like an Amazon Fire with a bigger screen and keyboard
-Great for business meetings
-Great for kids to do homework
For $99 (Black Friday deal), how can you go wrong. DON'T expect to use this for gaming and other high-end uses. Keep your regular computer for that stuff.

i bought this laptop after not having a computer since 1996. It was so much easier this time and less expensive. That first computer cost me over $3000. I am very impressed with this computer. For the money i spent, under $200, this is a great laptop. I am writing a book and that is the reason i got this. It is doing a great job so far. Overall i am very happy. The salesperson who helped me was a great help to me. The only thing I was confused about is the chrome operating system. I didn't realize that there were more operating systems out there than Windows. It is working out great for me though.

It is solid not flimsy.Screen is pretty good.Battery life is about 10 hours and it barely gets warm.I was leary at first since it has 2gb memory but I've had 7plus tabs open and no lag.Really impressed and I got it for $99.99 with student discount.I bought it as I have windows updates, having to buy a security suite that needs updates and windows is so buggy and glitchy too.With this I bought a 128gb USB.It just works and is very responsive.I love that I can view adult material and not worry about catching anything really.I hope that isn't TMI but that is what I mainly use it for.
