Best Chromebook, good imagine
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s good for students specially when you taking exams or tests in online, watching shows or movies
I would recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Broken hinge
Rated 1 out of 5 stars
Very disappointed. Hinge broke after 7 months.
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was a very decent chromebook up until it broke. I like the convertible form factor. The display is excellent and performance snappy. Then, it broke. It wasn't dropped or abused in any way. The hinge mechanism just popped out of the screen bezel, breaking the bezel and screen. It's too late to return to best buy so now I have to look into Samsung's warranty. This shouldn't happen so soon, if ever. One star, but I'll update if Samsung responds quickly and replaces it.

Would recommend for students
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use this on a daily basis even though it originally was not meant to be used for daily use. The computer works amazingly with a few issues, but none that cant be solved. I've used the computer for two months now and can say that it is a very good computer especially for students who need something easy to use and can access apps quickly such as google docs and also good for people who like to draw or write notes. Pro: -This computer is super light weight and is very easy to take around to places. -Keyboard is nice with smooth keys that are spaced a good distance apart - Computer turns on fast and easy. -Very easy to use app wise if you're familiar with the set up - Pen works beautifully for writing and drawing - Very easy to learn how to use for people not good with technology. Con: -keyboard does not light up - Some apps such as fb messenger causes the computer to lag then turns the screen black and you must restart computer to get the screen back to normal. - Some apps such as skype has some sort of glitch and does not work properly. - If pen is out and your hand touches the screen, your hand will draw lines too. -Can't have wireless mouse in if you want to use it in tablet mode or screen wont turn.

Amazing Chromebook! Just what I wanted!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely amazing! This Chromebook is lightning fast! I can have twenty tabs open while running Microsoft Word, Spotify, etc. Exactly what I wanted, works good for school, web browsing and research. Just to clarify for some who may have been wondering as I did... this Chromebook WILL run GoPro videos. Not sure about hardcore editing, I am not into that, however I was looking for something that would simply run them, this does the trick. No lag, better than both my Windows 10 laptop AND my PC (Windows 7). This Chromebook also outperforms both of the above-mentioned computers as far as speed! Nothing I have thrown at it has slowed it down yet! I would like to mention that the ONLY reason I selected 4 stars was because it took 3 whole exchanges before I got one that wasn't defective. First had an issue with the trackpad, second had a pixel bad and a bowed bottom, third had a warped screen. Who knows, I may have gotten the bottom of the barrel, after all, most other reviews are great. I still highly recommend this Chromebook for anyone that does extensive web browsing, research, etc. Even though it took a while to get one that worked, I still love it. Best Buy was more than helpful and got everything straightened out no problem! I also recommend that you DO NOT buy this for $600. I was about to and then price dropped to $400. I have heard that the price normally fluctuates, so buy it when it's cheap! You would probably be able to get a better laptop than this for $600. But hey, for 400 bucks, I ain't complaining! I hope my review has helped you make a purchase decision!

Small, efficient and gets the job done.
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's not the best Chromebook out there and has its limitations. But for the price, it's a fantastic device. I just needed a small second device to be able to watch stuff on/multi-task while I work on my main laptop and this little guy is perfect for that. The stylus is surprisingly good, the speakers produce ample sound. It's so lightweight that I forget that it's in my bag sometimes. There's nothing bad that I can think about this product. Probably the battery life could have been better but for a device under $200, that's expecting a bit too much.

7-year Mac User Finally Switched
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the MacBook Pro Retina Display 13-inch for about 3-years, after previously owning the MacBook Air 11-inch. I'm a graduate student so I tend to find myself using the computer for research, papers, homework, the typical. I'm not a heavy software user so I thought a Chromebook is a cheaper option that allows me to complete what I need. I own a Google Pixel 3 so I felt sticking with a Google based product could make my life easier. I absolutely love the Chromebook. At times the software does freeze and requires a reboot, but all my work is typically saved so I don't lose anything important. It's just a bother to restart everything. The picture is great, probably not as good as the Retina but I'm not too hung up on screens and pixels. The stylus comes in handy at the most random times, you can use it or live without it. I hope this lasts me a few years and my future employer won't require any heavy softwares on my personal computer. Chromebook is very particular about programs it can run, I'm not THAT tech savvy so thinking about going into developer mode is terrifying. The battery life is great, the speakers are perfect for when you just want to binge-watch, and it's lightweight and thin.

Great for our simple needs
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It great, and quick for our needs. All we do is browse online plus I’m going back to school so that’s all we needed it for. The main reason for buying it was so we would have a computer to show the full desktop website of a webpage. We have iPad and iPhones that won’t always display a full desktop webpage even when requested. Plus in case my iPad doesn’t allow for something in school I have this laptop to work on as another option. Oh and the other reason buying this was to get away from Microsoft Windows. Hated that stuff. And at the time of purchase, This also had the most storage At a cheaper price that the other models. It was a great sale.

Great Choice for a first Chromebook
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I did lots of research before settling on the Samsung Plus V2. I was looking for something with good speed, has lots of storage, is expandable, has enough RAM to run what I needed to, and is reasonably priced. I also wanted an OS that is similar to what I'm used to on my Note 9. This Chromebook fit the bill and more. I have my favorite Android apps on it and also have Linux running so I could use it for web development - everything I need is there and running great - i.e., nginx/php/mariadb/postgresql/python/django/flask... etc. I'm very happy with this Chromebook.

Q: QuestionCan I cash this in with the included warranty? Note: I seem to have gotten a defective model, and a lot of terrible things have been going on with this. This all started happening after the return date limit.
Asked by RodentRuler1.
- A:Answer if you paid with an American express...you can still return it thru their warranty/return program. Also, Amex doubles the warranty sometimes. I did have great luck with the Samsung warranty repair department though. Good luck.

Q: QuestionHello Does this chromebook operates in Lebanon? I mean is its app store accessible to download apps? Thank you
Asked by Isk.
- A:Answer Yes, you can download Android apps from Play Store. I use MS Word, PS Messenger, and several other apps on the Plus V2, and they work flawlessly. I don't know what being in Lebanon has to do with it, but I can't imagine you'd have a problem.
