I purchased last year’s version of this chromebook (OLED one) and I had to return it because the battery life was terrible. I was getting 4 hours per charge at best. This chromebook on the other hand has the same great finish as last year’s model, an amazing QLED screen, which looks much nicer than my Surface, and I have gotten about 11 hours of battery life. The price is also much more affordable.

This is a great Chromebook. With a OneDrive account, you can even open and edit Microsoft Office Word documents. Of course, you can save your files locally, too. They regularly update it to improve its performance. It is light and sleek and looks great!

Bought this for my dad who is horrible with computers. The chromeOS is much easier for him to use since it is similar to his Android phone. He mostly just browses the internet and checks emails so this is more than enough for him and the lower resource usage of the OS means the battery life is excellent. The screen on this is also great, very vibrant and bright

My Google Pixelbook just died in midstream four days ago, after not quite four years of service, and I ordered this replacement. After reading reviews, I chose it over the Lenovo with a non-Intel processor (which costs about almost $300 less, with tax).
There were two main reasons. First, I'm a lazy desktop cleaner and often have dozens of tabs open in separate windows. The Samsung's Intel i3 processor and reviews praising its relative speed made me think I'd be better off with it. Second, the Samsung has an all-metal case, as distinguished from the Lenovo's part-fabric one. I often isopropyl my computer and peripherals for hygiene, especially in the Covid era, and I didn't want to be saturating fabric. The keyboard, touchscreen and trackpad were not big factors for me, as I use an external keyboard, mouse, and monitor (in extension mode) except when traveling.
It took me less than 50 minutes to set this machine up, including removing my keyboard and mouse from my wife's Mac, cleaning everything with isopropyl, and attaching my peripherals and all the dongles needed for them. It was basically plug and play, as the Chrome OS did all the heavy lifting. It recognized my peripherals and external monitor immediately and even kept my two foreign languages in the shelf menu. But it didn't transfer my oft-used Google Docs that I had pinned to the dock, or the changes to my modifier keys. All my bookmarks, stored passwords and other stored data were ready to go.
It won't be this easy for those who are moving from Windows or Mac to Chrome for the first time. The Chrome OS and browser constitute a whole new system, with a distinct GUI and "feel." They take some getting used to. But I made transition when I was 73 and learned in time.
The Google software is generally cleaner, simpler and faster than its Mac counterpart, but less graphically elegant and flexible. Google's software also has more trouble with text wrap and size scaling than the Mac's.
One reason I made the transition was to avoid the feature bloat and constant changes that Apple seems to impose on users. But I still have my nine-year old Mac Mini at my own home.
One hint for newbies to the Google Garden: since Google owns the search engine, it makes sure that instructions for Chromebooks and Pixelbooks are easily available. For example, just search for "How to pin a Google gdoc to the shelf" and the AI will tell you. Or you can just use Google Assistant ("Hey, Google") and ask it directly. The biggest problem is learning Google's sometimes different terminology (e.g., "shelf" = "dock," and "autofill" for passwords.) It takes time but isn't hard.
I like having both a Google "laptop" and a Mac desktop for reliability, redundancy and security. These days, you never know when or where a software, hardware, or security vulnerability will crop up. So I think it's good to hedge your bets and use two completely different systems.
I'll try to remember to supplement this review if the processor is too slow to handle may lazy desktop management well. But I can't imagine any change going below four stars.

I've had this product for about 2.5 years so far. I was having a great experience with it even up until now but recently the hinge broke through normal every-day use. Gotta get it fixed. Other than that I love it! If I had to replace it today I would buy something else.

Best laptop I have ever had. It's fast, quiet, and intuitive. The packaging was not excessive, yet kept the product safe. Connecting to my google account was super easy and the walkthroughs were not annoying or incessantly starting up. While there are no usb inputs, there are many ways around that (I have a gun and I'm getting adapters).

If you can catch this on sale, it's a great little laptop. It feels like quality when you hold it and when you see it. It's metal and a beautiful red color. You can convert it to a tablet by flipping the screen back. The picture quality is quite nice. We wouldn't pay retail price for it as it's overpriced for what it is, but we bought it on a decent sale, and it was worth it at that price. It's a small size so if you are looking for something flexible and compact, this is a fun little laptop to own.
