Writing the review from the chromebook. This is the first one of the ones I tried that is actually worth using.This still is a chromebook so don’t expect mirracles. It has EXTREMELY limited functionality compared to a traditional laptop.The combination of laptop mode and a touch screen mode makes it sufficiently useful in most situations.The design is ugly-ish to my personal taste – it actually looks like two tablets mounted on each other.The battery is not really week, but it sucks copared to how non-chromebook laptops hold up. In use – the battery is ok. But in sleep – this one keeps running it down REALLY fast compared to linux/windows laptop.In general – i like it. I don’t know if overall quality justifies the 300-ish $ price tag. But hey! Its the first chrombook that i actually decided to keep.

This is everything I need and nothing I don’t. It is so light and compact. The touch screen is fine and the stylus built in is perfect. I just needed something a bigger than my giant iPhone to browse the web, work on my Google Docs and stream video content. It’s perfect for all of that. The expandable memory is great. I got a VPN as well that works just fine with this little guy. I haven’t had any issues with speed or performance for the everyday tasks I perform on it.

I bought this computer to compliment my MacBook Pro. My school uses Chromebooks as a 1 to 1 device for students. I wanted to “share” in the Chromebook experience, and no this device is no wear near my MacBook Pro. Instead I find myself using this at times more than my MacBook Pro. It is a very handy Chromebook device. I find the battery life lasts all day. The touch screen is handy and I have even used it in Tablet mode, although I find Tablet mode difficult to use for all devices like this. If you are looking for a Chromebook this is a great buy, for the money and is a great Chromebook.

I have a $1000 Lenovo before this and this was only $400. I needed a laptop for college and this is perfect. It’s beautiful. I love it way more than the Lenovo I had.My husband has a MacBook and even likes this better. I was so excited for this to come in!

I bought this for my 8 yr old home school during quarantine and it worked fabulous! I had originally purchased a cheap one at Walmart, but no matter how good the stylus was, it wrote on her table terrible! With this Chromebook, the stylus that came with it writes just like pen to paper…. perfect for her online school work. She’s 9 yrs old and will be using it again this school season for continued quarantine home school. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

I absolutely LOVE this chromebook, its not even fair to call it a Chromebook…its still a LAPTOP!!! OMG!! I had bought one before that was another brand and it was cool but I couldn’t watch AppleTV (*NSYNC fan…you KNOW I was watching Palmer!! lol) so I returned it and then I saw this one and when it got here, that was the first test and when it could and then on top of that it CAME with a stylus…GAME CHANGER!!!Extra Bonus for me was that with the stylus, I can write my notes and it goes on as text (I’m sure this wasn’t new to everyone else but..) I LOVE THAT! Yep! I’m happy with my purchase!The battery life is…ehh, but that isn’t a reason that you shouldn’t invest in one!There isn’t a backlight for the keyboard but, if you already know how to type it shouldn’t be an issue.BOTH cameras are really good quality, I’ve zoomed on here (with Lance Bass) and I’ve done Facebook video chat as well.The only thing that would make it sweeter would be if (like my iPhone) I could voice control Tiktok. If I could put it in book mode and while I’m cooking saying “next….like that….go back….comment” that would be SOOO DOPE!!

Love this chromebook! Compact 12.2 inch but is perfect for my daughter. Light weight, touch screen works fantastic, and stylus pen is a great addition! It is stored in the side of the chromebook! Easy set up, easy to use. Tablet mode works fantastic also! Extremely pleased!!!!!

I bought this computer so that I could separate my work files from my personal files and information. I use a MacBook pro for work and did not want to pay several thousand dollars for a personal laptop. In fact, I didn’t want to pay over $500. I also wanted it to be compact. So, I first bought a $250 Chromebook that had less than 1080P resolution–I was really disappointed especially when I put it on my 32″ 4K monitor. I took it back. I then bought this model because it had high resolution, was small, and had a 2-in-1 form factor. I have been very pleased with this laptop. The resolution on my 32″ 4K monitor is excellent. The laptop is small and I can carry it around the house and use it easily on the couch, my bed, the kitchen counter, and connected to my big monitor in my home office. The 2-in-1 functionality works great. The outer casing isn’t nearly as sturdy as my new MacBook Pro, but it is great for a sub-$500 laptop. I have never used a Chromebook before and I have to say that it works really well for a home computer. I don’t pay extra for virus services, I now put all my personal files on Google Drive (which works great), and I don’t have to pay for Office 365 every month. Google applications are close enough in functionality that I am very comfortable using Docs, Slides, and Sheets. Also, since I am an Android user I like getting messages on this laptop. I hope Samsung continues to make this model so that I can buy a new version in about 4 or so years.

Warning! I’m not a gamer , I’m not a student , and I most definitely don’t fully utilize all the features a regular laptop would offer so this unit is absolutely perfect for me. I stream movies/shows, surf the web and occasionally type things. If you’re like me I highly recommend this one. It’s a fast lil thing. If I close my laptop because I’m getting a call or something I open it up and it’s ready to go in seconds! The battery life is pretty impressive too I was able to watch two decently lengthed movies and bought a couple things on Amazon with 27% battery left.On a totally separate note I am a huge Samsung fan. My TV , phone , earbuds , watch , tablets, fridge , washer and dryer are all Samsung and couldn’t be happier 😊

My wife’s laptop crashed on her. She is a writer, and lost a lot of her work. I have been telling her for years to write her stuff using Google docs for the cloud storage. She never wanted to do it from fear of someone hacking in and stealing her work. Well when her laptop died and she lost all her work it was final straw. I bought this product for her as a replacement/ anniversary present. She absolutely loves it. Says writing on it is so much easier than her windows laptop, and she’s glad to have the cloud storage now. She saw it updating on her phone as whe typed on the laptop.The touch screen and included stylus pen has also been an awesome feature for her. She has started drawing pictures again. She hasn’t drawn since we first met 14 years ago. Now she has a digital canvas to draw on and has done some pretty cool peices. She says she loves it a lot and is very glad to have it.It is not a windows device, it has its limitations, but for basic writing and art I don’t think you could choose a better item for the price.
