Samsung Chromebook (Wi-Fi, 11.6-Inch) Reviews
I have both the Samsung Series 5 550 and this new ARM based Samsung Series 3, and I love both. The ARM one is obviously cheaper, lighter and better looking, but also has slightly lower performance. The difference is hardly noticeable, but it's there in two places. First, when switching tabs (when having 10 tabs open); second, when viewing video generated by the Chromebook on a Google Hangout on another computer (i.e. the outgoing video quality is not as good as with the Series 5).
Other than those small differences, the two perform very similar and both are amazing devices. The Google suite of products covers most usage of Word and Excel users, and even most basic use of Powerpoint users. If you're into gaming or into video editing then you'll want something heavier, but for most people this $249 computer will be the one you go to most of the time. I have it on the kitchen counter, and the whole family uses it on and off for email, homework, YouTube etc. It's also a great computer for less computer-savvy folks (read: my sister). I sent her one, and she loves it, and I love it because it saves me tech support phone calls!
Considering this machine costs less than 1/4 of my MacBook Air, and gets most of the same things done, I think this is amazing value.
I've been looking for a light little notebook or laptop to travel with so I can check email and Facebook - check my bank account and credit card purchases while I'm away from home - and this is the most perfect little thing! It wasn't too expensive, it's small and very light, and it does what I want it to do with no muss, no fuss. I did a lot of research before I bought this product because I wasn't sure I wanted to go with a non-Windows product, but this is so easy to use I don't miss Windows at all. I'm glad I made this purchase.
I been using this Chromebook for days and I am truly impressed by its modern and contemporary design. I have to say that this product built quality is comparable to a Mac Book air due to the small and elegant size.
Chrome OS is truly remarkable! Google products are always top of the line. The 100Gb cloud free storage is an excellent way to close the deal.
Pros:
Battery life last all day.
It is very light.
The screen is good quality.
Touch pad is outstanding.
Keypad is great.
Speakers sounds decent.
100Gb cloud space is well beyond great.
Design is like apple quality but cost 75% less.
Cons:
Webcam is not HD (But is not a deal breaker)
This product is a MUST buy for those who understand that Chrome can do wonders and don't mind to have a different PC experience.
