Samsung Chromebook (Wi-Fi, 11.6-Inch) Reviews
I did my research about this laptop before i bought it. i was excited since day one. I bought this computer because i believe this is going to be the future of all technology and is a step towards what we as a people should be working towards creating. Everything has small beginnings, but what is only a small laptop capable of storing all my files on a cloud server now, is a universal hive-mind of infinite intelligence in the future.
I'm currently attending college and got this as my graduation from highschool, and so far its been amazing. I charge it every other day or so, i just use Google drive for all my school files, and they're accessible from everywhere. I have a desktop i use for heavier things like, non browser gaming, video and audio editing and watching movies (just cause of the bigger screen), but my chromebook takes care of everything else. Did i mention it has 3G for two years? that's like infinity dollars if you buy it any other way.
listen, bottom line, i love the lap, its tip top. everyone should just throw money at google and try and get them to replace our government, because one google party is better than any two party.
If you are looking for a device to browse the web and use google services, this cannot be beat for the price. Nothing else comes close.
This is our second chromebook. The first was the original Samsung chromebook of about a year ago. I wasn't much interested in this device, but my daughter loved it - just loved it, and it became her primary computer, so I took a flyer on this one since it is smaller, lighter, faster and has better battery life. She loves it even more.
As a web browser, this device works very, very well. This is the full desktop version of chrome, and it works just as well and is quite acceptably fast. Access to gmail, google drive, google docs, etc is flawless. Every website I tried worked perfectly as expected.
The device itself is high quality with excellent battery life. This is no macbook air, but it's about a quarter the price.
Highly recommended.
I'll be getting another. I want this for traveling, but I'll never get our current one away from my daughter.
So after doing a lot of research, I felt very confident in my purchase of the chromebook. Originally I was going to purchase a tablet (Nexus 7 or Kindle Fire HD) but I really wanted something I could do work on. The Chromebook had everything I wanted including a keyboard, word processor, and it was easily portable. Here is what I think:
Pros:
- The quality of the laptop was incredible. I was at first wary of the all plastic build, but its very solid and smooth. I wasn't wild about the hinge on the outside, but I understand that is to make it more thin. The whole laptop feels great!
- The mobility is awesome...this thing is as light and thin as a Macbook Air. It can easily slip into a backpack or purse without being a nuisance.
- Zero moving parts, this actually really makes a difference. There are no vents blowing out hot air, it makes no noise, and it doesn't heat up at all!
-------------------
Cons:
- Not really a knock on the product itself, but it took me a long time to get my hands on one. Google hasn't done the greatest job meeting the demand for this item. Every store I went to was sold out of these laptops and didn't know when they would get any more.
-------------------
So, overall this is a great product! I suppose that, price included, this is one the greatest netbooks to ever hit the shelves. Just please know what this product is before you buy it, because it isn't a workhorse laptop to run programs. What it can do though is all your internet tasks plus word processing with ease.
