SAMSUNG-Galaxy Chromebook-2 in 1 Laptop Touchscreen Tablet - 13.3 FHD QLED - Intel i3-10110U - USB C - Backlit Keyboard - Wi-Fi 6 - Google (8GB RAM| 384GB Storage)

It arrived at my door for under $200. It boots fast. It's easy to carry. It doesn't get hot. It has a long battery life. Updates are quick, simpe, and mostly in the background. It is easy to charge with a small lightweight wall-wort with a long cord. All my life I've been looking for a lightweight, easy to use, on the go computer for writing. I have had just about every small laptop over the last 20 years. This is by far the best of all of them I've tried. My jam is to take off into the woods and write. It's what I like doing. I don't want to spend time dealing with my writing device, I want to turn it on and write, I want to turn it off and have my writing saved. I want it to check my spelling. The lack of a right mouse button or a scroll wheel will throw a lot of people at first, but if you see the charms in this little box you will be compelled to use the Googles and look up how to use a Chromebook mouse pad. It is worth learning and will simplify your life. You can install apps from Google Play, Youtube works super well, many apps will run including Microsoft Office. There are good apps and avenues to log in to a remote desktop either Linux or Windows. It isn't a gaming computer, and I wouldn't try to do heavy photoshop or other graphics on it. TLDNR; It cost less than $200, it is durable, it runs all day, it is easy to use. It is great at a lot of things. It isn't good for some things.

I use this for work: Zoom meetings, Google Drive, and other simple applications. I've dropped it a couple times and haven't had to get it fixed, it fired right up. No one was more surprised than me because it will seem fairly flimsy in-hand. I wish the power plug was more sturdy. The actual connector fits tight but is easy to break as it stick far out. It's very easy to operate and has been a great go-to laptop away from my MacBook. Great battery life, it does not have a touch screen (thankfully), and cuts on/off quickly.

This is the third Chromebook that I have purchased. My first was a refurbished one that I needed in an emergency that only lasted 3 months. My second was a previous Samsung model and it lasted me about 2.5-3 years. I have the same issues with this Chromebook as I do my last Samsung one: 1- The audio jack: the audio is incredibly static-y when using normal headphones. When using headphones I pretty much have to find some sort of white noise to play in the background to coverup the static, or use a bluetooth headset. It's incredibly aggravating at times. 2- The screen. I'm not sure if it's the way I store it in my bag or what, when the Chromebook is closed, it makes contact with the keyboard, and needs frequent cleanings. I'm not sure if it's that the back cover is too soft and pliable or what, but this is a common issue. Now, when I go to clean the screen, no matter how gentle I am, it's inevitable that I will get damages pixels in the screen. I replaced the screen in my previous Samsung Chromebook twice in the 2.5-3 years that I had it for, and on this one I can already see some spots that are becoming damaged. I was hoping with this later model that some of these issues would be improved on, but It doesn't look like it. For anyone who has a Chromebook, I would also recommend getting rid of the ChromeOS and making the switch to Linux's GalliumOS. It's definitely worth it, and will put that hardware to better use.

I purchased the 32-bit Samsung Chromebook 3. I wanted a Samsung unit to go with my Note 3, Note 4 and must recent purchase a Note 8. What great machine.. all for under $200! I charged it up and downloaded the OS update. I’m impressed with the speed, weight, and quality of this product. The fact that isn’t touch is okay with me. The mouse pad is very responsive and easy to use. I like the non-reflective screen, the screen brightness control makes easy to read in daylight. Instant startup is a joy. The USB 3 and second ports USB 2 and HDMI with the longest battery-life are what sold me. I wrote this review with the unit. Impressive, I'm a CHROME fan for sure. My favorite Play Store app - ISS HD Live.

For a $200 device, the Chromebook 3's build quality is surprisingly good, even though it's made of plastic. The Chromebook 3 has the ports you need. On the left side, there is a battery indicator, a slim jack for the AC adapter, a USB 2.0 port, a full-size HDMI port, and a microSD card slot. The backspace key is just below the power key, so you're just an accidental keystroke away from accidentally shutting down the machine :/. Although the Samsung Chromebook 3 can easily last a full workday on a charge. The underside of the Samsung Chromebook 3 gets a bit warm. Overall the Samsung laptop is a good choice for students and anyone who primarily uses their laptop to surf the web.

the laptop I purchased was at the end of it's automatic update period (AUE) which means that after you unbox and update the computer, it will never again accept another update. This greatly limits it's lifespan. This was not clear in the item description. The laptop arrived in great condition; don't get me wrong. Unboxed, it was like new. When I plugged it in and ran the first update, I had the applet pop up stating that this would be the last automatic update the Chromebook would accept. After a bit of checking, I saw that the laptop was a 2017 model. A quick internet search revealed that this model stops updating after 3-5 years. Per cnet.com (dated Feb 21, 2023), "What happens when a Chromebook reaches its AUE? Currently, once your AUE date arrives, the Chromebook will no longer receive software updates from Google. These include security updates, bug fixes and new features. And without those updates, things like apps and browser extensions might no longer function properly." While this was a great value at the price, it wouldn't have lasted as long as I need it to last. Just be aware when you're purchasing.
