Review: Amazing side-computer - A few months before I had bought this chromebook, I purchased a Toshiba Satellite Laptop to replace my older Dell laptop. The Toshiba is amazing, but very heavy, and after my wife bought a chromebook, I decided it seemed like a good idea to have as a carry-around laptop. I purchased it from desertcart Warehouse Deals, and have had it for four months now. I am loving it! The computer is small and light, and is probably comparable to any other Chromebook on the market. Honestly, there is nothing statistically that sets this apart from other chromebooks; it has 2GB of RAM, a low-end Intel Processor, almost no memory on board, and runs Chrome OS. But what one does get by choosing the Samsung over, say, the Asus or Acer, is the amazing quality of Samsung computers. There has been some controversy about their computers, but the fact is, this is a Chromebook, it is what it is as fair as pre-loaded programs (there is nothing other than the Chrome OS). But the keyboard is a very intuitive one. On my Toshiba, the keys are stiff and the trackpad is pitiful. These feel very natural, accurate, and all around is one of the best keyboard/trackpad combo I have ever used. As far as Cons go, there really isn't much to complain about. I suppose if I were to get really picky, the RAM is not great, but that is fine because of a point I will make later. Also, I said that the processor is low-end, but that isn't a bad thing on the Chromebook; actually, it acts in the favor. The Chromebook does not require an amazing processor because it doesn't have much to run, as Chrome OS and the Google apps are the only things that WILL run on this. There is one large tip I have: get the Chrome Desktop Remote extension from the Chrome Store (different from Google Play). If you have a true computer of any kind and are willing to download Chrome Browser for this, it is worth your time and effort. I am a relatively tech-savvy person, but one should not need to be to figure this out. It sets up a remote control that one can use from their Chromebook to control everything on their other computer (given that the other computer is turned on). This is why I bought the Chromebook and this is why I love it. I do use the Chromebook itself, but I mostly end up using the remote desktop, so I can access my Toshiba, run Windows 10, and use my 8GB RAM, i7 Processor computer without needing to carry the actual computer. Also, possibly for the more technologically inclined, there is a way that your can revert the Chrome OS back to its Linux running base OS and use it as a true, Linux computer, but you then have the struggle of the processor and the RAM. I have another Samsung Chromebook that I have done this on and where this are not too large of hindrances for my purposes, that is because I have the Toshiba (as well as a work Desktop (Dell)). That being said, if you have the backup computer, it is well worth it to go into the crosh and run it back to Linux. This can, of course, always be reverted by resetting the computer with a powerwash.
Review: A computer for people that just like to compute. - Bought this for my wife that was constantly having to do Windows Updates. This does get updates, they are just not as noticable as a Windows Update since they have a smaller OS and Chrome to update. She wanted to give it 4 and a half stars because she is not use to it yet. She does like it though and thanks me all the time. She is not a heavy user yet, but she mostly uses it to play Spider Solitare, check her gmail, edit an occasional Google Docs or Spreadsheet. Look up stuff for her brother. This fits the bill rather nice for that. I have been using one of the first Samsung Chromebooks for over a year now. The new one appears faster and if it is like mine, that will not change. I use mine for a little picture editing, No, I am not a professional, but there are programs in the Webstore that does a pretty good job these days. For those wanting to use MS Office, I have an Outlook Account and use One Drive if I have to open a MS Word file or Excel Spreadsheet that Google can't open. I do have to admit, if I am working on a Document, I prefer Google Docs to MS Office Online and that is probably just me. They are both changing for the better fast. No, you will probably not use this machine for CAD drawings. It is nice to open it, and be logged in within about 9 seconds from boot up. That battery seems to work well. Probably several good hours of use and it depends on what you are doing. It is not a gaming machine although you can play some nice games on it. It's sound quality is good enough to pass the time, I also have an 808 Canz speaker if I need it loud. Yes I would recommend this to friends and family. There appears to be no maintenance as it is all handled through the OS. You open it, login, and start computing. No defrag, virus scan on startup, still boots and is ready to type in 9 seconds. I hate having to work on my Windows computers at work anymore. I am not a patient man. This just works. And yes there is a learning curve on what you can and can't do.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I'm looking for an inexpensive laptop for my 12 year old who likes to make and edit videos.  Will this allow video editing?**
A: As others mentioned above, you'll want a more traditional laptop. For about 400$ I'd say the bare minimum would be the ASUS F555LA-AB31 for ~$370, which is a Core i3, it comes with 4GB of RAM so I'd recommend buying an additional 8GB stick for 30$ making it an Core i3 12GB 1920x1080 screen. The memory is very easy to install even with no experience.This would be the best bang for the buck at the lowest point of entry I'd say.

**Q: Is it possible to change language for the OS interface? E.g. switch it from English to Russian**
A: No

**Q: Can language be changed to Polish? Thanks!**
A: Yes

**Q: Would this be a good chromebook for an 11 year old to use to mainly play games on, like minecraft?**
A: Almost all games need to be web based in order to play on Chromebook. In other words, games can only be played in Chrome browser.  There is a workaround for Android apps here: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2905297/heres-how-to-run-android-apps-on-chrome-with-googles-new-tool.html

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Loyal Apple User For Over 30 Years Is Impressed
*by M***O on June 10, 2015*

I have been a Amazon Prime member for years. I order so many products, for myself and my businesses, from Amazon, I'm sure I have put several of their employees children through collage...lol. I own two business. I have been an independent graphic designer and image consultant for over 25 years. I have exclusively used Apple products since 1986. In 2011, I purchased a health club and moved all of it's computer hardware to the Apple platform. My health club uses an online club management software. The software can be run from any browser and any platform. I love my Apple computers and believe that the platform is so far superior than anything else out there. Having said this, I decided to order a Chromebook because it would address my needs while being extremely cost effective. THE NEED: I needed a laptop computer at my health club for new members to activate their membership. I had been using an iPad Air and Apple bluetooth keyboard for a few years as the main access for members. This worked fine, but the software proved to be a tad clunky when accessed through a tablet. I knew that a laptop would be an answer, but I didn't want to drop over $1,000 for an Apple computer when it would be a waste. I just needed to access a web browser. I didn't need to run any software of the computer. I debated for month about the idea of using a Chrome platform, but the choice was easy...the Samsung Chromebook 2 is under $230.00! THE EXPERIENCE: I received my Chromebook 2 overnight and I can say that the set up was extremely simple and fast. If you have a Google account, you are on the web in just a few minutes. The build of the machine is quite good. Now, nothing can compare to the build quality of an Apple computer. Apple sets the bar extremely high and their craftsmanship is extremely on point. With that said, I was impressed with the quality of the laptop at this price point. The keyboard feels nice and study. Although made of plastic, the casing feels well designed and every cease and connection feels strong and tight. The matte screen displays pleasing colors. Although the viewing angles aren't wide, the overall viewing experience is pleasurable. Remember, this is coming from a guy who uses Apple's Retina Displays for his computing and smartphone. Even my watch (An Apple Watch) is Retina display! The processor id quite responsive. I noticed no noticeable la in bringing up websites. Youtube videos played quickly and were easy to scrub through to find specific points in a video. If you own a printer which offers Google Cloud Printing, printing from your Chromebook is very easy. You might not have as many choices as a direct driver from a MAC or PC, but for your daily business printing needed, this service is more than adequate. WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE? I would be hard pressed to criticize this machine for what it offers at this price point. It think for what it is, it is OUTSTANDING. The only reason I did not give it five stars is because I ultimately have to compare it to a Apple computer, which in my view is beyond five stars. The only criticism is that the trackpad could be a little smoother. It seems to jump at point rather than move smoothly. In full disclosure, this could be due to my sole experience with the Apple platform. I do recall PC trackpad being somewhat less responsive. I have noticed that the smoothness has seemed to increase. Maybe this is me just getting use to the differences. If you are on a budget and you need a computer to access the web and email, this is the computer for you. If you are already using Google Mail and Google Drive, a Chromebook 2 will be a Godsend. This Apple guy is very impressed.
