Not a bad chromebook, but lacks power for the cost
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality4 out of 5Value3 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I really did enjoy several aspects of the Samsung chromebook I purchased. Unfortunately in the end it just wasn't enough of a performer for my needs. Multitasking became difficult at times and there were little glitches with the screen in tablet mode versus desktop mode. I am not saying this is an issue with all of the laptops, just the one I purchased in particular. I thoroughly enjoyed the S-Pen and the ability to run Android Apps from the Playstore. Overall it was a good chromebook/laptop in general. I just opted for a more powerful model in the end due to my particular usage. I will say that while for the most part it was of a good build quality, there was a noticeable difference between the materials used for the top half of the laptop and a much lesser grade of material for the bottom portion/keyboard. Not sure if this is just a model difference, but I have used the other model and it does speak to a much better feeling of the overall quality when the material is all the same. Also the touch sensitivity when using the screen with your finger or even the S-pen was a notably unresponsive at times. It just seems to take a little more force/deliberate touch. All of these things are what led me to feel that while this is a good laptop with great features, it just wasnt worth the price point in my opinion.

Ok but terrible quality
|Posted .Owned for 1 year when reviewed.Features
Quality1 out of 5Value2 out of 5Ease of Use3 out of 5It seems that I have the same issue as everyone else. I didn't realize it was such a problem so I hope I can spare someone from buying this. It seemed a really decent Chromebook at first. I was happy with it. Lightweight. 2 in 1. Had a pen, seemed great! Then at exactly 13 months, one month after warranty I opened by Chromebook just to use it and the hinge snapped and cracked the screen. After reading everyone else's reviews it's crazy that everyone is saying the same. That right after the warranty ended, it breaks, and I've never used foul play or dropped mine either. Really disappointed bc I paid a good penny for it. Not worth it for $500. So now it's not covered under warranty anymore and to replace the screen and hinge it'll be another $200+ ...so really not a fun situation to be in. I would spend your money on something more reliable.

Grey buy for remote schooling
Posted .Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5We purchased this model based on availability for our seven year old to use for remote schooling during COVID-19 and it has worked well. It's a slightly more expensive model but the additional features (Ability to fold the screen over, touchscreen and stylus) have worked very well, allowing her to write on PDF worksheets with the stylus and submit them back to the teacher. It's also great for art and the touch screen works well for page turning with online books and slide presentations. If you are using it with Google Classroom I would consider using only the schools acccount on the chromebook as switching between multiple Google accounts on the machine is problematic. Using the school account should work well as long as you are using it only for schoolwork and not storing the family photos on the account. You will need one Chromebook per child, again because of the problems with switching between accounts. The machine is very fast and responsive with plenty of storage and can handle two way video with multiple users via Zoom or Hangouts Meet.

POOR QUALITY!
|Posted .Owned for 8 months when reviewed.Features
Quality1 out of 5Value2 out of 5Ease of Use3 out of 5I purchased the Samsung chromebook model number: XE521QAB in December of 2018. This past weekend I went to open the chromebook and the right side hinge popped right out of the screen. The chromebook is less than a year old, I called Samsung and spoke to a representative and he seemed to be in denial about the issue. After researching this problem online I found this problem to be a pretty common issue with this product. I am going to send the chromebook back to Samsung and I expect them to stand behind their product and make the necessary repairs to make things right. I'll keep everyone posted on the outcome.

Don't buy, fragile
|Posted .Owned for 8 months when reviewed.Features
Quality2 out of 5Value1 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5I bought this for my 10 year old. It broke in about 6 months. Now it won't charge or turn on. The hinge broke. Checking online, this appears to be a common problem. The build quality is poor. It was a nice device while it worked, but way too expensive to break that easily. The pen was useful but a bit too small. Left side hinges broke and popped through bottom of the screen.

Chrome book hinge is broken
|Posted .Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.Features
Quality3 out of 5Value3 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5It was working well until this first week of November, the chrome book is hard to open. Tried to open it but the left hinge was broken. The left hinge went out of the left lower part of the chrome book screen. So recently we purchased a new one, I hope it won’t have the same problem.

Q: QuestionWhat version of Chrome OS comes installed on this computer? Specifically I'm trying to see if it is Version 53 or later. Thanks
Asked by Carla.
- A:Answer I'm not sure what version comes installed (out of the box). When I first started up, it went through a series of initial set-up screens, and downloaded/installed the latest version of Chrome OS (v68 at the time) during that process. So you should have the latest version of Chrome OS once you complete the set-up process.

Q: QuestionIs the display on this V2 model IPS or TN? "Full HD Widescreen LED" doesn't really say much...
Asked by SGA253.
- A:Answer Here is a reference from MSI's forum site where someone used a utility to determine it is a panel made by AUO and the model number b156han08.0 https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=303317.0 From all the tech reviewers, the consensus is that its an IPS screen. Lisa from MobileTechReview mentions IPS in her opening minute or two of her review. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2FtPv7Xy-4
