Excellent Premium Chromebook
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.The Samsung Galaxy Chromebook is not only an aesthetically pleasing device but also handles applications and even gaming with ease. The 10th generation Intel Core i5 processor coupled with the 8 GB’s of RAM is a great combination to run Chrome OS, Android Apps and Linux Apps! First one of the things that I am a little disappointed with on this device is the battery life! I feel at this price point with all the other wonderful components that make up this device Samsung should have used a battery that was capable of giving at least a full workday of power before having to reach for your power plug. Now for me this is not a deal breaker and I usually use my charger if I am going to be doing extensive tasks and or gaming! I understand that depending on a person’s use case scenario that this is unacceptable to some, but for me it was not a huge issue. However I rated it 4 stars instead of 5 because of this. One other thing that I noticed while using this Chromebook is in laptop mode and tent mode there is and ever so slight wobble when using the included stylus with the touchscreen! I would have liked the hinges to be a little more rigid and that would have prevented this issue. However it’s a trade off I tested another Chromebook prior to this one that had very rigid hinges and while it held the device steady it was very hard to open you definitely could not open it with one hand. So with that being said this issue is not a deal breaker for me either. Now for some of the things that I love about this device! The aluminum chassis is a huge plus the device not only feels great in your hands but it is also very light as well as portable! I got the Fiesta Red model and it is absolutely gorgeous! I love the squared off corners the device it is very aesthetically pleasing to not only the eyes but to the touch as well. No sharp edges! The display is one of the nicest displays that I have seen. I love thin thin bezels on the top and sides of the screen. The colors are vivid, it has good brightness and the viewing angles are excellent! Movies, Videos and Games all look great on this display! I was able to pair my wireless Xbox Game Controller to the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook via Bluetooth and it worked great! I tested a few games from Google Play Store as well as Steam on Linux! Asphalt Legends 9 looks great and ran very smoothly on this device. Oceanhorn also looked great and ran very smoothly on this device as well. On the Linux side I got Steam installed and tested a few titles. I had a copy of Bloons TD 6 that was for Windows and Proton ran it nicely on the Linux side of things the game loaded and played fine! I was able to play Civilization V and VI as well as Black Mesa! All of these titles played very well and I didn’t have to sacrifice the graphics settings! I am very impressed with how this device handled gaming! A lot of people say you can’t run a Office or you can’t play games on the Chromebook and that simply is not true! Even now with the advancements that have been made with the hardware and Chrome OS in general you can do almost anything on the Chromebook that you can do on a Windows laptop! The speakers and sound quality was not bad on this device as well. Music as well as speech sounds very clear and not muffled or distorted! The keyboard is comfortable for me to type on even though I have large hands! I’m not a marathon typist however I have no complaints as far as the key travel and overall typing experience goes! As far as heat goes the Chromebook did get warm to the touch while gaming but that is to be expected! I use my Chromebook on a desk or table so if you use it on your lap I can see where the heat could cause some discomfort if using your Chromebook for extensive tasks! Overall I am very pleased with the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook with the exception of the battery life or the lack of battery life! I would definitely recommend this device! But whether the device is one that works for you depends on the your use case scenario and whether or not your budget will allow for the cost of the device.

Almost the perfect Chromebook
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.I purchased this Chromebook heavily discounted, as a year end model clearance. That said I really like this Chromebook. The Samsung feels like a Ferrari compared to my old Chromebook (the Dell Chromebook 11). The Samsung's huge 4k display looks absolutely stunning and the red aluminum body looks and feels like the premium product it is. Logging into the machine with the finger print reader is a very nice addition. It's fast, most Chromebooks are fast but this one is wicked fast. From being completely off to moving the pointer on the desktop, takes seconds. Syncing the Chromebook with my Google phone allows me to take calls along with sending and receiving txt messages right from my desktop. I can also wirelessly sync my tv as a display for my Chromebook via Chromecast. As for gaming I installed the Xbox app and Nvidia game streaming app and was playing AAA blockbusters like Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077 and Back 4 Blood within minutes. All without waiting hours for the games download and install. Game streaming is amazing, you pick a game and just start playing. Everything was running nice and smooth too. It's just a Chromebook but it does everything I need. Online shopping, gaming, social media, web surfing, email, word, excel, web videos and music streaming. The only downside is battery life. I get 4-5 hours per charge. I knew that going in and didn't plan on lugging this Chromebook around. I only plan on using it at home, so being tethered to a wall wart every now and then is ok with me.

Great 2 in 1 for school and everyday purposes!
||Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.I have had this chromebook for about a week. It is simple and energy efficient. Thin and lightweight. The best laptop I have had in my lifetime. Very thin makes it easy to do school work anywhere. The sound is very clear to understand class lectures and would be good for those that enjoy music or a YouTuber. I'm a big fan of samsung. The computer can smart connect if you have a Samsung smartphone. This helps a lot.

Worth it
||Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.I really love this device. Even though the first one I got was defective I got a replacement & so far so good. I love the pen that comes with it & all the extra things I can do the storage space is just right for me & the movies play in top quality. The backlit keyboard comes in very handy. I purchased a very good investment!!

All the bells and whistles for school
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Our first one we had to take back--suspect it was refurbished and not new. We received our second one and it works just great! The reason why I shop at Best Buy is they are understanding when the product is faulty and are very accommodating at helping you. There are cheaper bargains online but if there is a problem---you're out of luck. Nothing like going into a store to speak with a customer service person in person for help.

Great chromebook for everyday use.
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This is my first Chromebook so I decided to dive in to the deep end and the Galaxy Chromebook is everything I could ever need as far as it specs, durability, and touchscreen and stylus functions. Still adjusting to using apps as it seems some some aren't able to work outside of a base portrait display or function better just in a browser. Hopefully we'll see some updates that will improve UI on Chromebooks. I've definitely been enjoying the ability to completely flip the screen to take advantage of that 4K display for movies. As of yet, I haven't tried any heavy gaming on steam, but things through the app store have worked well. Looking forward to testing it out with my new 4K monitor. This 4K display is absolutely beautiful but a charge guzzler for sure. The brighter the display, the faster the battery dies with a pretty large difference in life expectancy. Through general use (internet browsing, streaming video, playing music, light gaming, etc.) You can get anything from 3.5 to 8 hours just off of display brightness. Maybe a tough ask for a student with no access to outlets, but if you do, the charging speed is excellent though the cable itself is only about 5 ft. (Sit next to the outlets people.) Look into a strong hub based on your port needs. The two type-c ports, a microSD slot and a headphone jack alone will only get you so far depending on your needs. Dual side speakers function better than expected. Overall it fits my needs for general work use, media consumption, and light gaming. I wouldn't be surprised if photo editing, and stadia functions worked extremely well but be aware that the device can get fairly warm. Tis a spicy boy under heavy use but does find a magical way to cool itself without fans. If you have the cash and are looking strong everyday cruiser this could be a great option for you. Just keep in mind your needs. Thanks!

Q: QuestionWhy is the price so high compared to all the other Chromebook?
Asked by Bel.
- A:Answer You're paying for a premium build quality which include: 4K UHD display (the screen technology that Samsung uses in their high-end 4K TV's), built-in stylus, aluminum build, 10th gen i5 processor, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, and the fact that this Chromebook will be one of the many Chromebooks coming out later this year that will get software support from Google for 8 years, compared to the previous 5 year update policy. For a Chromebook, this is heck of a lot you're getting in a laptop running Chrome OS. If you were to compare all these specs running on a Windows laptop, you would for sure be paying $1,600 - $2,000.
