adathet: it was really fast, really slick... but it's like a someone made a really fast sports car that crashed all the time (wheels came off, fuel leaks, etc). definitely want to drive this car!

Michael A. F. Dalton: This is a review that I am going to try to keep brief, but I might fail. Here's why: The Samsung Galaxy Chromebook has had some of the most unfair reviews I have ever read about an inanimate object, and I'd like to clear the air of some of those comments.

Let's start with the only thing I agree with from so many negative reviews, and that agreement is 'somewhat' at best, and that's the fact that the battery life is not all that great. Some would say it is terrible, I would say that is true if only going by specs alone. But, in real-life usage by a couch potato like myself, is a minor inconvenience. Why? Well, because I do not use my Chromebook in a manner that requires I run on battery power more than 3 or four hours at a time. If after something between 3 and 5 hours, I get low on battery I do what I have always done... I plug it in! I am not being silly, but serious. I plug it in and keep going for a while, then I unplug it and keep going some more.

YES, I could not do that in the forest, at the beach, or on a long flight. But my use case does not require that any longer, like it did when I was an executive in the computer business, taking long...

Kindle Customer1Kindle Customer1: TL;DR great computer with cool features but compromised battery for thinness. The first thing I have to say is that the screen quality is superb and paired with tablet mode is a defiant win in my book. The s pen is much
more functional on a Note 20 ultra than a computer, it is a cool gimmick and makes presentations easier because of the red dot feature. The i5 is a medium stage processor, I was going to buy a dell with an i7 but decided that the i5 was good enough, the thinness is also extremely convenient having a decent computer without added weight. There are a few cons though, the battery life is comparable to the note 20 ultra running full boar. This computer also only runs chrome which can be a downside to some but not to me. The c charger on both sides is one of the best parts of this computer because now I only need the fast charger it came with to charge my phone, computer, or headphones. The lighted keyboard makes a big difference in the dark and the camera near the keyboard made to take photos in tablet mode is cool because it looks like a big note 20. It also says on streaming services that it is running 8k but the screen is only capable of 4k....

drred: Solo abrir la caja descubrí un slot inservible... La tienda no ofreció ninguna solución. Desde México es imposible contactar Samsung USA... y sorpresa! Samsung México no arregla computadoras... ni puede acceder a computadoras hechas en USA. ¡Perdí mi tiempo! Espero que Amazon México tenga la seriedad de devolverme los más de 3 mil pesos de importación... por el momento en la orden no aparecen 3,400 pesos echados a la basura...
De la máquina te puedo decir que es un horno (literalmente)... si eso ya es suficientemente incómodo para las manos... a la batería que de fábrica es muy pequeñita (4 horas en el mejor de los casos) el calor le resta vida. MUY MALA EXPERIENCIA! De verdad, evítala.

Jed Rothwell: This is a beautiful little Chromebook. It is light, with a high resolution screen, and a nice keyboard. Unfortunately, it is unreliable. I got one about a month ago. Several times a day it crashed. It stopped while I was working, or when I opened the top to turn it back on, it had crashed back to the sign-on screen with a message: "Chrome didn't shut down correctly." It also hung up, refusing to turn on until you held the power key for 20 seconds. Also, it did not work with the wi-fi extender. A "powerwash" reset did not help.

Amazon gave me a replacement unit with no argument. It arrived yesterday. Yesterday it crashed once, and hung up once. Today it crashed again. Modern computer equipment is reliable so this is unusual. I do not think it is a coincidence that two out of two are unreliable.

In my opinion, the designers put too much effort into strange features such as the stylus, and a non-working fingerprint detection key. (I finally got it to register after several attempts, but it does not sign on to anything.) They should have made it more reliable instead.

I will probably keep it, because a Chromebook is more of a glorified i-Pad more...
