Good for browsing, Not for note taking
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Device has a great screen and good battery. Very light weight for its size. The stylist is lacking features and too skinny for heavy use...just doesn't fell like a pen or pencil. If you need to take note spend more and go with the Tab S4

Great computer
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far it has been living up to my expectations. It is similar to how the galaxy phones work with a bit of a twist to them. I love how it can go from a computer to a tablet by just flipping it around. Also how it is light weight and easy to carry with you. You will not regret this purchase, I know I don't.

Nice Chromebook.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice little chromebook I bought for our 11 year old daughter. Seting it up, it appears the perfect size for her. Easy to use MS OS. To be honest, I find it a little small for me. As far as the stylus, she snapped that in under 2 weeks. Haven't checked replacement price yet.

WOW! This Chromebook is amazing!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love Chromebooks. They start up in seconds, the browsing is FAST and the price is right. New apps and improvements monthly. I replaced my older Chromebook with the Samsung Chromebook Plus (new version) and I am delighted! The screen is beautiful! Great keyboard feel. Intel processor is a step up this year. My wife is jealous and wants to trade her Macbook 2016 for one of these, need I say anymore?

Solid unit
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this for odds and ends. Paying bills and surfing the web. As of now I have no real issues. If you are used to a wi does computer there will be a learning curve because documents will be uploaded into the drive. That means you can't save them on your Chromebook. Battery life is very good and screen looks great. Over all I am glad I made the purchase.

Love this product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought the basic model a few years ago and that broke. We were going to get the same model but we bought this one instead and I am glad we did! It seems alittle slimer if you had the basic you may notice it.The touch screen is nice to scroll down with. The pen is nice if you do cross words or like to doodle or color. Great prices and great product.

No Palm Rejetion?
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This device is beautiful, it has beautiful resolution, it is super fast, the pen is cool however, it seems like there is no Palm Rejection. Using Google Keep in tablet mode was almost impossible as different apps continuously opened whenever my palm hit them. Using Squid was a little better. I decided not keep this device since I couldn't use the pen as intended. I must also mention that a couple of times while in tablet mode apps on the left side of the screen wouldn't open. I exchanged this for the Samsung Chromebook Pro which is a beautiful machine that I really loved using. Palm Rejection worked great. All of the specs were great. Just couldn't enable Adobe Flash or pair with certain bluetooth devices, which I didn't know wasn't possible before my purchase, so I had to take that back too. If those weren't issues for me I would have loved to have kept it. It was so beautiful, backlit keyboard had a nice green light, the resolution was the best I've seen 2400×1600 like the Google Pixelbook. * I do miss the Samsung Chromebook Pro.* Honestly, if I wasn't on a budget, I would have kept it but i need to buy a device that has more features.

Very tough build chrome book with touch screen
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a very nice chrome book with Touch Screen, my son uses it for remote learning and it has endured the rough treatment of a 7 year old. We love the size, not to small, not to large. And you can bend the whole monitor backwards and using for streaming movies, etc.

Great 2-in-1
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My daughter bought this as her first computer and loved the idea of having both a computer and tablet. It's the perfect size for either situation. She loves art, so having the stylus (with a place to put it without easily loosing it) is a plus. Overall, the computer works great and feels strong (especially when holding it as a tablet).

Great Laptop and very fast!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Chromebook was an excellent purchase to give as a Christmas gift to our gradson who is college bound next year. He was pleased with the size speed and storage.He spent a lot of time researching and said this was the best choice by far. We purchased at Best Buy because the price was better than any of the competitors pricing.

Great computer for the average user...
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Does everything I need really fast.. you would think with a Celeron processor and 4 gigs of RAM it would be sluggish or skip a beat....but overall very zippy... I like how it integrates with my Android phone to unlock the computer.......... touch screen works well and built in stylus is great...

Fast
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely one of the best Chromebooks that I have used. It's light portable and fast. The only thing that I've noticed is that if you are trying to use multiple monitors it will cause flickering and best to use a hub.

Excellent affordable Chromebook
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wanted to try a modestly priced Chromebook to take on travels to keep up with browsing and emails and a little bit of work without the heft of a “real” (windows) computer. I Use Chrome browser regularly on Windows since it first came out, so figured thus would be similar. It is — and this device has a nice screen, size and keyboard and a USB port for a mouse which is the biggest reason I can’t do work on an iPad. On sale the price was reasonable. For what it is I am quite satisfied. However since it doesn’t have MS Office and hard drive file storage for my documents I still couldn’t use it full blown for work as much as with a windows computer. Haven’t used a Mac so can’t compare to that.

Fast, pen works great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for my 7 year old and it's been an awesome CB for her. Easy to set up the Google Family account, and get her working right away on everything for school. This is our first Samsung laptop/chromebook and so far I'm impressed with speed, use, and ease.

Great Chromebook when on sale for $349
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm upgrading from a 2011 Samsung Chromebook Model XE303C12-A01US. Huge difference in speed and a gorgeous display, My three criteria for a new Chromebook were WUXGA (1920X1200) / AC wifi / and a glass display all for under $350. I got all that plus the ability to flip into a tablet and a pen on top of that. I doubt I would pay the full $500 price. But you would be hard pressed to find the specs this Chromebook provides for less than $350.
