Samsung Chromebook (Wi-Fi, 11.6-Inch) Reviews
My 2007 MacBook Pro was having problems, and I didn't want to take the chance of being without the ability to get online and manage my business website. I went out to get a cheap PC, and ended up at first getting the Acer C7 Chromebook. After 2 weeks of trial, I couldn't stand it. I liked the Google system, but the screen was just awful. I went back to the same store to return it and get that cheap PC. I decided instead to try the Samsung Chromebook.
It is well made, easy to navigate, the screen excellent, and I'm thoroughly enjoying learning how to use Google Docs, and all the amazingly simple yet wonderfully utilitarian apps that are provided free of charge. I've started using gmail and little by little am loving it over Apple Mail. The keyboard is very comfortable, and I feel as though I've found the business tool I've always wanted.
I can program my WordPress business web page with ease.
I'll probably write more once I've gotten more familiar with the tools and options, but suffice to say, after 2 days, I am duly impressed. And this from someone who uses an Apple iPad and MacBook Pro!
My husband and I both have expensive, larger, heavier laptops. They were very heavy to carry when we traveled and also put off heat when in use. Because of the low price and size, we bought one Chromebook strictly for travel. Within 5 minutes of arrival, it was up and going. After fussing over it for two days, we ordered a second. We have not picked our laptops up since the Chromebooks arrived. The screen does not have the clarity and color of the more expensive models, but is more than sufficient. The battery life is as advertised, if not better. It was very easy to start printing and our printer is several years old. We also love the quick start up. We use the Chromebook mainly for surfing, managing emails, and watching instructional videos. The "His and Her" Chromebooks work perfectly!
A lot of people say the chromebook can be used as a paperweight when offline, but you can still use many applications and google docs. It really is great and fast, and pretty durable too. It boots up in less than 10 seconds right out of the box and stays that way forever. The best thing to do is to have a USB wi-fi hotspot to have internet wherever you go, and if you have a flash drive, this can be one of the best laptops you have ever owned. Google docs allows you to create word documents, presentations, and much more absolutely free. The low price is what made me a little worried to buy it, but when I did I was amazed. It also doesn't heat up and make any noise. In general it is a great computer, so everyone should try it out.
