Samsung 3 Chromebook: Take this Samsung Chromebook 3 laptop to school for everyday studying. A long battery life and strong performance from the Chrome OS operating system lets it handle highly productive days, while the 32GB of storage means you can store files off line. The 4GB of RAM delivers multitasking excellence from this Samsung Chromebook 3 laptop.
A: See my review about limitations of Chrome OS. Chrome books have no DVD or Hard Drive. Only moving parts are the screen hinge and the keys, so a protection plan is NOT needed. OK for browsing and email plus Google apps.
Q: Does this come with any word processing program or do I have to purchase one?
A: Just download the Google Doc. app. which is I believe still free. Google Doc. can be used even if you are not logged into a WIFI Network.
A: Yes, has internal battery with a adapter cord to charge it up. takes up to two hours to charge up. depending on what programs are running. perhaps five good hours before charging again may be longer. I would treat it as a computer and not have no drinks or food around it.
A: No wired ethernet connection. wifi only
Q: Is there a hard shell protective case available for this Chromebook?
A: I am looking for one too. The ones I ordered wont fit, they are for the XE500c13.
Q: Would this be a good selection to download wedding pics that you want to keep and be able to share?
A: Yes it would be. You can download pictures to the Chromebook's internal SSD storage, to a USB or SD card attached to it, or to an online Google Drive account. From any one of those, you can email pictures to other people, if you like.
A: The micro sd slot is on the left side accessible without taking anything apart.
A: I like it quite a lot for gaming. I can't speak specifically to Lineage as far as whether it would lag or not. Not sure if that would be more of a hardware issue or online connection speed issue. I play Real Racing 3 on mine with a gamepad and plugged into my TV, and I think it works great.
