Samsung - Chromebook Plus 2-in-1 12.3" Touch Screen Chromebook - 4GB memory - 32GB eMMC Flash Memory - Platinum Silver

This is one of the best pieces of technology I have used. It's a tablet and a laptop. The stylish makes for an amazing amount of practical uses. I have a 1k+ MacBook air and I prefer the chromebook. I'm amazed at the quality of Samsung, Android and Google products. This will rival anything under 1200+ in all areas besides gaming and raw computing power. With the customization and "extensions" available the possibities are endless. Oh yeah, and you can use the Google play store, and I can text and literally use my phone from the chromebook. (I have an s8). Add a ln external disc and hard drive, and this is the best thing you can buy under 1200 bucks. Love seeing people on their expensive laptops on campus look over with envy.

I had the old chrome and I loved it. This one however, I can play roblox, its faster, has a better screen view, basically it is a more advanced version and bit bigger too. I like how you can charge it from both sides and that you can charge it easy with the the regular chargers for the cellphone and not have to connect it all the time but you do have to buy another usb hub to use a mouse. One of the easiest computers I have had granted I had chrome already and its fast, and I have used every program I want. Also you can take screen pictures easily and can even just select the section before the screen picture. Another bonus the pen since I dislike my screen dirty however, it has a touch screen so I get the scree smudged anyway. Overall I love it, I do not like microsoft only because it has too many programs I will not use and sometimes I can't even find the one I want to use and mac I just do not like it at all. This one is easy to use none that you do not need and if you need more you can just easily download them they are compatible.

This computer is great. !! You can download apps and still be able to use it like an actual labtop. Minor stuff such as getting an adapter to use usb is a little annoying but it worth it.

Chromebook 123 is good.. but my problem is sometime its hard to connect in wifi.. and when you use it in FB live the camera is like a video you stretch but in normal camera everything is good i recommend that instead using the fb apps you may use chrome to sign in on fb... easy to use and its to light to carry... i will recommend this product to all my friends...

Great all in one love it. Like playing and watching movies.

Samsung did a great job at being the first to have a true integration of an Android Tablet with a Chromebook. Unfortunately the quality of the hardware has crippled my Chromebook. After just 5 weeks of use the video card on my Chromebook is going out. The display has a large gray band of "static" going along the bottom that covers up the program icons and the start menu and there is a another stripe running vertically down the right side. I am waiting for Samsung to send me a return label so I can get it fixed but I truly wish I hadn't purchased this Chromebook. If you look at the attached picture you can see the noticeable stripes. Other complaints I have are a cheap feeling keyboard, a very small backspace key and quite tinny sounding speakers. Samsung should have placed them on the top above the keyboard where this is a lot of space. The body of this Chromebook has quite a bit of flex. It doesn't always sit firmly at a desk but instead bounces around. Don't believe Samsung's claim of long battery life. In reality it is about 1/2 of what they claim. While I am waiting for this to be repaired I'm back to my 3.5 year old Acer C-720---it was a $99 computer but is doing great---battery life outshines the Samsung and the keyboard is acceptable.

I got mine 2 days early shipped from Best Buy. I've been looking to replace my Samsung Tab Pro 12.2" tablet and this seemed perfect as it can be folded over to be a tablet, but can also be used like a regular laptop. Plus it runs Chrome and Android apps. So far I'm very pleased. Battery life is good, 7 to 9 hours I would say. The keyboard works well, although it is somewhat mushy and the delete key is too small so I often press = by mistake. The trackpad works well for two finger scrolling and you can enable "tap and drag" in Accessibility settings. Two finger scrolling does have a bit of "bounce back" when you take you fingers off it, which is annoying. The screen is really good and I only need to put it on 1/2 brightness. The aspect ration is 3:2 which is perfect for browsing and using as a tablet. The touchscreen works very well. I love that I don't need a special case to prop it up; the 360 degree hinge allows you to situate the screen at whatever angle you choose. Chrome is fast and responsive. I have over 15 tabs in 4 windows open and performance is fine. One trick you can use is to press the "search" and "esc" keys to see the task manager, which will tell you which tabs are using the most CPU. I found that Amazon often uses a lot of CPU when it's tab is visible. Chrome runs twice as fast (9500 vs 4500) as on the Note / Tab Pro tablet (see "Octane" benchmark image). Android apps generally work pretty well. However often I find that the Chrome web version of the app is better. For instance Google Maps is much better on Chrome. Google Inbox seems faster on the app version though. I haven't played much with the stylus but it is just like the Note stylus and seems to work fine. I've had a couple of issues with Bluetooth to my external speaker. It can cut in and out when there is a lot of CPU activity on other web pages or apps. Also, when I pause the music (using Google Play Music), after a minute or so sound is routed to the Chromebook's speakers instead of to the Bluetooth speaker. I'm hoping Google / Samsung can fix these issues soon. In closing, this seems like a great replacement for the Tab / Note Pro 12.2" tablet, and doesn't require a special case or keyboard accessory.

First, a word to the uneducated about Chromebooks, what they can and cannot do. When I got my first one, I discovered that you can't download and install software as you can on a PC. You can't install very many apps (although that is changing). There aren't very many flexible settings. If you need to run programs from your computer, the Chromebook is not for you. This is what the Chromebook does: it gives you an instant-on, always-fast web browsing experience, with light weight portability and long battery life. No need to take a power cord with you. No need to wait for warmup. No crashing, no hangups, almost no interruptions for updates, no screen suddenly going dark to save on the battery, no antivirus software slowing things down, and the machine will work just as fast a year from now as it does today. Just about every Chromebook offers that. So why do I love this Chromebook? Well, this is my third (technically, my fourth). It costs nearly twice what the lower end Chromebooks do, but it's still a whole lot less than a well appointed laptop, and it is a phenomenal machine. First, let me just say what I use this for. I'm an insurance agent and I meet in people's homes. I want to pull out my tools without interrupting the flow of conversation. This machine is light as a feather and fits in my briefcase right next to my notepad (I've dropped machines and broken screens, so protection is a must for me), so I can make a very professional impression. The screen is small enough that it doesn't become a wall between me and my clients, but large enough for me to see everything clearly and for the touch screen to respond to the fine points with my fingers. (I hate touchpads.) If I really need to fine-tune, I have a stylus handy. The stylus can also allow me to "fancify" my presentation. I just use it to access buttons that are very small on my screen, that's fine enough. Also, on the rare occasion I need to resort to downloaded software, I use Desktop Remote to access my home computer from the Chromebook. The Chromebook has a wonderful size, a great light weight, a great look, and the ability to handle a dozen tabs open effortlessly. It just instantly became a seamless part of my presentation, and I don't have to worry about my brow becoming furrowed or the expression on my face becoming pained as I deal with any hang-ups, as it just doesn't screw up or lag behind my thoughts. I couldn't be happier. True, the apps don't download all that well, at least not yet, but for what I need, I'm thrilled. Now for the fun part. It's just a whole lotta fun to zoom all over the web, to touch the screen, to get incredible quality for pictures or for watching hulu or Youtube or facebook, for carrying around. It just takes it all in stride and then some. Fun factor: 10. I imagine the Google Pixel, now discontinued but perhaps to be resurrected, would also be a 10, as it is the only machine out there with a better screen resolution, but it weighs a pound more. That's significant for me. The bright screen is amazing. For those who like tablets (I am a purist for a keyboard myself), it folds over nicely. The only drawback there is that the power button is on the right hand side, so if you turn the machine to the right and stand it on its side, as you might do if you want to read an ebook, you'll power off. (The Lenovo laptop I have also does the same thing -- what were they thinking?). You can rotate to the left, but that just doesn't feel natural to me. I vastly prefer a power key at the top of the keyboard. I also wish there was a DEL key, rather than having to learn some shortcut to delete. There are a couple of quirks to the keyboard, such as a small backspace key and a search button in place of the cap lock key, but it's a good size and not cramped for my slightly large (female) hands. I would prefer slightly more travel depth to the keys as you hit them, but they still feel pretty solid. Backlit keyboards are pretty, but not necessary with the light of the screen in my opinion. For me, that's irrelevant. So, if you want a laptop without all the power and versatility that drags those things down, if you want absolutely breathtaking imagery, if you want portability, if you want a comfortable screen size and a very responsive touch screen, if you want to surf the web with a dozen tabs open, if you want a good long-lasting battery, this is the machine for you. I saw reviews about poor quality speakers, but they seem just fine to me. If this machine is out of your budget, and tablet mode isn't your thing, I highly recommend the HP touch screen machine for $259 instead. I'd still be using it if I hadn't dropped it and broke the screen. By the way, a word about warranties. I got an extended warranty on my laptop, and I've used it many times, as I also dropped it and broke the screen. (Butterfingers!) I have no complaints about the service I got, except that any repair takes time, usually a minimum of two weeks. (Also, it's hard to speak with someone who's actually working on your machine, so in my situation, I had to send it back in 2 more times to get everything fixed that I'd mentioned when I first took it in, due to failure of everyone to properly communicate. Additionally, you're required to be home to sign for delivery of the computer back to you, which for me delayed things by another week as I rerouted it to the store instead where I could pick it up, as I found out the hard way that I needed to be present.) If you're like me and you need to use your machine daily, and you're a klutz like I am, you need to think about physically protecting your machine from damage so it can survive a fall. I now carry and store this machine in my briefcase that I'd kept from the 1980's, and oh boy, does it look good!
