Best laptop I’ve ever had
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.I bought this laptop after my dell finally died and I have to say it’s way better. I don’t know why it has any bad reviews it works great. It’s lightweight and compact. Super fast and I can do a multitude of things at a time. Sound quality is pretty loud, and I love the apps you can download onto your home screen. It also soft shut downs itself when you’re inactive and charges fully within the hour

Great Price, Conflicting Product Info from BB
Posted .The pre-Black Friday pricing on this Chromebook is certainly appealing, particularly from a well-respected electronics manufacturer like Samsung. However, Best Buy website has presented conflicting information on what you are actually buying. This review is purely to provide information regarding that, as this product will not be opened and fired up until Christmas at our house. The high level product categorization is: Samsung - 11.6" Chromebook - Intel Atom x5 - 2GB Memory - 16GB eMMC Flash Memory - Night Charcoal (notice no mention of "Chromebook 3") A device with those specifications listed on the packaging are indeed what I received from In-Store pickup today, and was also listed as Chromebook 3. However, the detailed product description lists this as Chromebook 3 with Celeron N3060. Here's where it gets confusing, and why... Auto Update Expiration Date (where Google will continue providing support to the device). Printed on the cardboard box from Samsung, it states "This product will continue to receive automatic updates until June 2021." However, the Chrome OS website states that Chromebook 3 will receive support through June 2022. I am not stating which support date is correct, but this is something you should consider when purchasing a product with conflicting marketing information. For the price I paid and the fact I am giving it to a 7 year old who's going to get a school provided Chromebook in August of 2021 anyway? It's somewhat irrelevant to me. But if you are hoping for longer term support from a device, I recommend enhanced due diligence so you understand what you are buying.

More zippy than my 4gb one - different processor
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.I thought Best Buy had made a typo listing this Samsung Chromebook 3 as coming with an Atom X5 E8000 CPU (actually it’s a micro-motherboard “System on Chip”, much more integrated than Old Skool CPU motherboards). My 3 purchased last year with 4gb/32gb came with an N3060 Celeron. Now, the low-end Celeron series like that N3060 are really just Atoms allowed to run faster (and hotter), they actually have same processor “architecture” as release-date matching Atom-series SOC’s like this X5 E8000. In this case, my new Samsung Chromebook 3 is, in fact, running on an Atom vs. last year’s running the N3060, so it runs slower, but guess what, it is as fast as last years maybe faster because the Atom E8000 has 4 cores but the N3060 only 2 cores. It’s definitely faster than my low-end N3060 Windows 10 “Win-books”, So. This makes a great browsing and typing tool. I can work on a Google Doc word processing document in one tab and easily switch to background tabs for research. I haven’t loaded more than 10 tabs, and I don’f play music on YouTube etc. in the background - I manage my processor load to leave resources free for the real work (also uninstalled the Android support in Settings, and turned off Google Assistant). Caution: the Google Chromebook program is under a lot of criticism for early expiration dates for brand new computers - my $89-on-sale Samsung Chromebook 3 had a bleak note on its 3-months old carton declaring there would be no updates after June 2021 (yes the manufacture date on my unit’s carton was only 3 months ago). This expiration date was extended last week to June 2022. That’s still short, and either Google will be exposing a lot of users to hacking after that, or creating a lot of e-waste, so I and others are hoping for support at least a long as Windows gets. Oh - an internet website recently destructively drop-tested 10 different Chromebook models and this inexpensive Samsung was one of two that survived.

Impressive for the price
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.The Chromebook is a shocking quality for the price. I would recommend this to anyone. The keyboard and mouse feel great, the screen gets very bright, functions shockingly well. Although on the box it says something to the effect of "support for this product will end XXX 2021" which I mean is less than 2 years away so I'm not sure how I feel about that. But for the price, I justified it haha. If you're looking for a Chromebook you won't feel bad your kids would beat to death, or just a go-to for checking emails and maybe the occasional video, this Chromebook is pretty good.

Chromebook
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.I bought this for my husband's Fantasy football league. What I don't like is the icons are at the bottom of the screen instead of the home screen so when he wants to pull up his icons they get in the way of his auto search. If someone can direct us on how to get icons on the screen instead of below this would work great for him.

A whole new experience!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.I never even considered a Chromebook or anything like a tablet/notebook. I had been shopping around for a new laptop to use mainly for job search, resume writing and just general internet surfing. When I saw the price for this during all the hype with holiday shopping/deals at 4:00 am while checking the time on my iPhone, I bought it without knowing anything about it! So far I have been very happy with it. I have been using it a lot to attend online meetings. I've just started figuring out the whole Chrome concept, with Google and all the options available. I like its portability, lightweight and slim design. The only downfall I have really run into is when I don't have wifi near me and I want to use it. I use an iPhone and haven't figured out all the technical stuff to connect to my hot spot. Over all I'm excited to have it!

Excellent chromebook for adults & kids
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.I had been tired of getting laptops for myself and my kids to use for work but the viruses and constant updates and lagging to turn on had me frustrated. Decided to give chromebook a shot and was not disappointed. Since its connected to Google/ internet, no need for me to do virus control or anything else, it does it automatically. All my information is linked just as its used on my desktop. And best part is this system works with my kids school IREADY apps for their homework (not many systems work with it). Its lightweight, easy to carry around, and as long as you have wifi (which is everywhere), you are connected to all your personalized stuff. This is our 3rd one in house so that everyone can now have their own. Great purchase.

Q: QuestionIs this a good laptop to play roblox on? My son has been asking for a laptop.
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer 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: QuestionIs this model as good as the older version that has the Intel Celeron processor?
Asked by Grandpa.
- A:Answer 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: QuestionIs this model still have internet explorer?
Asked by Poof6342.
- A:Answer 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:Answer My 12 yr old. 10yr old and 8 yr old use this and yes they watch YouTube videos all the time. No problems

Q: QuestionWould this be ok for kids to use for home work?
Asked by Wlj4ever.
- A:Answer 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: QuestionDoes this unit have a wireless capability? I need a laptop to travel and need a Wi-Fi connection.
Asked by malemann02.
- A:Answer 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.
