Q: QuestionHow well does this work with Zoom mtgs? With current CB it freezes when I talk.(1 answer)
A: AnswerI am using this laptop with Zoom and it works well. It has more than enough horsepower to handle video conferencing. But remember it is necessary to have a strong wireless connection for videoconferencing. You can have the most powerful device available, but if your internet signal is weak your Zoom calls will always be substandard.Answered by Kotor
Q: QuestionDoes it come with an HDMI and usb port?(3 answers)
A: AnswerNo it does not have an HDMI output. But it does have USB-C ports which are capable of outputting video and audio to a HDMI display by using a USB-C to HDMI adapter cable.Answered by Kotor
Q: QuestionIs this PC compatible with Microsoft Office??(2 answers)
A: AnswerThis computer has access to Microsoft Office. It uses, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook. Anything I type on my PC or Mac I can open on this and vice versa. They have made it seamless.Answered by Shawpc
- A: AnswerAs far as I know there is no GPS chip in the machine. There is no cellular on it as well. I have had this computer out in the open numerous times and the only time it is able to find its location is when I connect it too my phone as a hot spot
Answered by Shawpc
Q: QuestionIS THERE A SPACE TO PUT THE stylus pen(2 answers)
A: AnswerThis computer does not come with a stylus. You have to use a USI stylus which you have to purchase seperately. There is nowhere on the computer to store the pen. You will have to get yourself a bag to carry it in. SorryAnswered by Shawpc
Q: QuestionI like to Know if that computer has capability of handle CDs and video disc(2 answers)
A: AnswerThis is a chromebook and yes you can watch DVD's, BluRays, and listen to CD's on this. The only problem you are going to have to get a converter from a USB C to USB A then attach any drive you may have except a superdive from Apple.Answered by Shawpc

Q: QuestionIs this chromebook considered a hybrid (part touchscreen part regular "laptop"?)(4 answers)
A: AnswerThis laptop is a hybrid laptop. I love this capability. There are so many times that I want a tablet so I flip it so I have one. Then I like too use it like a computer then use it regular. I also use a stylus with it as well. You would need to get a USI stylus. You can't just buy any old one. This allows me to write right on the screen when taking notes. This is helpful when there is no place to set my computer up to use it like a computer. Using it like a touchscreen also makes playing games a lot more fun as well like flight simulators and other games like candy crush.Answered by Shawpc

The QLED full HD display is phenomenal! 5 Stars!
Finally decided to buy a Chromebook after hearing mixed reviews on the overall experience. So I never invested in one until the Samsung Chromebook 2 in Fiesta Red went on a massive sale down to $299 from $699. Has a QLED HD 1080p display and of course from Samsung and it's by far and away the best feature of the Chromebook 2. The build quality is of high end and I recommend going for the 128gb 8gs RAM with the i3 core processor which is plenty enough horsepower and is every bit as seemingly fast as an i5 core processor. So far I have enjoyed the user experience. I like the size of the display and it's overall size at 13.3 inch display makes it very versatile being a 2n1 touch screen and turning it into tablet mode with the 360 hinges. Lastly the keyboard is great. The keys have adequate spacing and the feedback has a good feel. The track pad which I rarely use because I also bought a fully Bluetooth mouse from Best Buy also to use with it which I recommend as well. If not the track pad is fine. It's not too small and is smooth and easy to use. It comes with two Type C ports, headphone jack, and a micro SD card slot. I actually went into it with a mindset that I would just try it and return it but to end I will say, that I have used it every day and night since it arrived over a week ago browsing the web or navigating the apps. The battery life is awesome. Easily will give you over 10 hours between charges. If you are looking for a great laptop type experience that actually runs browser type full desktop format and runs mobile apps giving you a mixed use and all for of that at only $299 and lastly it looking flat out cool in the Red color and the aluminum build quality. At $299 it's a win all day long and you just can't go wrong for the sales price. If in question, get it! You will be glad you did! I'm actually typing this review on mine now. The QLED Samsung display is worth the $299 alone itself so it's massive savings! Grab one and enjoy with pleasure!

Its beautiful & its a beast
I cant believe i copped this for $299.99 randomly on sale i knew how stupid it would be to pass it up. even if it suffered a dramatic price drop, theres no way it would stay that cheap. I checked Amazon at the same moment they had it for $570.00 + 128gb memory card. regardless, ive had my eye on it since it came out so it was meant to be, & now that i own it i wish i had bought two. so far its running great, is sleek, gorgeous as f in fiesta red. Id have to say this is still worth it for $699.99 if you have the bread & desire even half of the needs it can fulfill. perfect little computer to travel around with or use freely around the house. Ive yet to exercise its tablet folding feature, however, look forward to it. Get this fn thing if you keep looking at it.. you lookin ess

Easy computer if you arent good with electronics
I purchased this item for my mother. She had the s6lite but hated not having a keyboard and she has no idea how to operate a windows computer/laptop. I figured this would be a happy medium. I purchased it as an open box item and it appeared to be brand new. Its a 2 in 1 so it can be like a laptop or a tablet, in either position you can still use the touchscreen. I did end up returning it because my mom changed her mind and wanted to keep her tablet. If i didnt have the Galaxy Book3 360 and didnt need windows applications, i wouldve kept it for myself. One of the nicer 2in1 laptop even compared to ones with windows operations.
