Q: what is the end of life support date on this model
A: June 2022. I purchased this one yesterday and although the box states "June 2021", Google added time to some Chromebooks "Auto Update Expiration date" and Samsung Chromebook 3's are now June 2022. Hope this info helps.
Q: Is this a good laptop to play roblox on? My son has been asking for a laptop.
A: Thank you for asking this... Now I know, NO. "Roblox can be run on Chromebooks, which runs Chrome OS, but only with a lot of hacking and tweaking. Even if you manage to get it to work, it's not really playable since it's super laggy and doesn't run that well" https://platypusplatypus.com/chromebooks/run-roblox-chromebook/
Q: Is this model as good as the older version that has the Intel Celeron processor?
A: If you read the reviews on the BestBuy site, it is BETTER than the older version in that the processor in this one has four cores, rather than two cores in the older version. Should run faster with a four core processor. And I'm a grandpa, too!
Q: Is this model still have internet explorer?
A: No, this is a Chromebook, which uses Google Chrome as its operating system (OS), as well as its web browser. Internet Explorer runs on laptops or desktops which use the Microsoft Windows operating system. Google Chrome is a very good web browser. You should be able to get to all the same websites that you can get to with Internet Explorer.
A: My 12 yr old. 10yr old and 8 yr old use this and yes they watch YouTube videos all the time. No problems
Q: Would this be ok for kids to use for home work?
A: Should be fine for kids to use for homework. You can easily access the internet and websites with this Chromebook, and it has a built-in word processor (you don't have to pay extra). Hooking a Chromebook up to a printer is a little harder than hooking up a Windows based laptop to a printer (that is simple, intuitive and essentially plug-and-play), unless Google and Samsung have improved the process since I last did it--I hope they have. At $89, the BestBuy Black Friday price, to me this is a very good deal.
Q: how many years is it possible to update?
A: It will update until June 2022.
Q: Does this unit have a wireless capability? I need a laptop to travel and need a Wi-Fi connection.
A: Yes, it has wireless capability, and will "find" available networks--you just enter the password (from the hotel, etc.). I travel with my Chromebook because it is so small and lightweight.
