Customers commend the Plus 2-in-1 Chromebook's responsive touch screen and ease of use. Its lightweight design and good battery life are also frequently praised, along with its generally snappy performance. However, some customers have reported issues with the hinge.
I picked this up during the holiday sale and what a deal!. I can't speak for long term durability yet but I am very happy so far. I made an unboxing video on my YouTube channel too. The form factor is just incredible, good screen, great keyboard with touchpad, premium build quality, pen included and it runs very well. I went with the Core M3 for better performance. Tablet mode works great too since the device is relatively light. I am so excited with this Chromebook that I am typing this review with it. Took a few pictures with my GoPro and transferred the pictures quickly using the built in micro sd card reader. I did not want to spend a fortune on this since this is not my primary computer, at the same time the lower end Chrome OS laptops are way too weak in terms of specs. The Samsung Chromebook Plus is a great mid-range 2-in-1 option. This is a winner!

Great little tool while it lasted. After some 16 months, the left hinge broke out and ripped apart the screen. Notebook was not dropped, always handled carefully. Repair is $360, Samsung will not commit to covering the repair. A quick internet search brings up dozens of cases where the exact problem occurred, always the left side of the screen, identically looking pictures. Some got refunds, some apparently do not. Don't buy!

I would give this 5 stars plus if the left hinge hadn't just broke and my screen also was shattered in the corner from the broken hinge. I had it just a over a year, it was never dropped or misused. The Chromebook itself was prefect. Exactly what I wanted in a computer. I'm really debating on getting another 2 in 1, not sure that the plastic hinges can handle this kind of use.
