Cheap, Light, Simple to use, Secure, Reasonable keyboard
Web apps only, Some build issues, Lacklustre screen, No 3G option in the UK, Insufficient power for HD or gaming
Traditionally, we'd have said that a Chromebook isn't good enough to be your primary computer, and in too crowded a market with smartphones and even tablets, to consider as a second computer. Things change, though. It's not the technologies that change –...

Samsungs Chromebook har fått en bra-stämpel. Detta tack vare en enkel design, lågt pris och okej användarvänlighet. Den har tyvärr en del begränsningar i dagsläget men man kommer längre än vad man kan tro.Mjukvarumässigt så skiljer det väldigt lite mellan...
Samsung's new Chromebook is admittedly a severely limited device designed for one purpose — providing quick and easy access to online services, especially Google's own online services. It's more of an appliance than a complex multi-layered and powerful d...
At only 1.1kg & 17.5mm it's easy to carry, Good clicky feel and travel for a Chiclet keyboard, Fit and finish is good for the low price tag, Much more responsive trackpad than a netbook, 100GB of free online storage for 2 years, Never worry about bloatwar
200 nit brightness display struggles outdoors, Online games struggle to maintain framerate, Underside scratches due to low feet height, Limited use when offline, Performance degrades beyond a dozen tabs
The Chromebook can easily replace a Netbook if the intended use is primarily online. In fact, the overall experience is generally more seamless with less waiting time for boot ups and applications to start and finish. Battery efficiency is fairly comparab...
I compared Chrome OS to Switzerland earlier. Now, after testing, the Samsung Chromebook makes me think more of a platypus, or maybe some sort of weird-looking pokemon. I also get the sense that it jumped into this world through a portal from an alternate...

When I first got the idea of doing an "Apples and Oranges" comparison of Apple devices against the Chromebook, I have to admit that I thought there was no way that I'd be impressed with the Google device. It took only a fraction of the two week review ...

Sharply reduced priceSolid build quality for the moneyComfortable keyboard and trackpad
No Netflix streaming at launchSlight performance hit with an ARM chipDimmer display than in previous models
Chromebooks will always be polarizing, but at $249 the price is far more appropriate than it had been. We recommend it for schools and people looking for a cheap second laptop....

At $249, it's a more reasonable choice than the $449 Chromebook 550, Keyboard and build quality are generally decent, Performs well for basic tasks, including video streaming
Smaller battery means laptop-like battery life despite tablet SoC, Screen is bright but otherwise awful, Port layout is cramped, Chrome OS is still best suited to individuals or businesses deeply invested in Google's ecosystem
EnlargeAndrew CunninghamAt $249, these new Chromebooks come awfully close to solving the platform's biggest problem: that they offer just a fraction of the functionality of Windows-based laptops. Older Chromebooks offered netbook-like performance, but wit...

Abstract: In dieser Woche hatten Samsung und Google zumindest für uns überraschend ein weiteres Chromebook vorgestellt, das vor allem mit seinem Preis überzeugen kann. Denn es wird für lediglich 250 Dollar erhältlich sein, leider aber auch vorerst nur in den USA un...
