Google Chromebook 5

 

I would definitely recommend this.

Very easy to set up

The battery gets very warm when the adapter is plugged in and the net-book is turned on

SAMSUNG XE500C21-A03US Refurbished Chromebook

 

If you have a gmail account then you will love this computer. Its so easy and the 8 sec boot is great. I am going into hospital on the 7th June and it will make my stay more enjoyable.

I nearly fell off my chair when it arrived today. Its so beautiful and clean and looks like its never been used before. Came with all the important stuff. Charger and power supply and the vga usb dongle. Also a 90 day limited warranty

The only thing that it did come with was the instruction manual

Great portable web browser

Great laptop for your everyday computing needs

 

NOTE: This is not a normal Windows laptop. Chrome OS is really made just for surfing the web through the Chrome web browser, plus it has a basic file manager and video/audio player. But nowadays, most people can do 95% or more of everything they...

Thin and light, great battery life, no maintenance, bright screen, nice keyboard, fast for web browsing

Touchpad could use improvement, Skype doesn't work yet, no Bluetooth software support,some jerkiness with HD Flash video

GREAT COMPUTER!!

 

I recently received my Samsung Chromebook, at first I was a little nervous after I had purchased it, but after I had opened it and started playing around on it I knew it was everything i had made it to be and more. The start up for the computer was...

Fills my needs perfectly.

 

If you need something that's extremely portable, easy to use, and don't want the hassles that come with windows or Linux on a small computer, a Chromebook should fill your needs.I had heard that they booted in under 10 seconds. On my initial boot up,...

Great Product

 

Don't listen to the other reviewer. He is classifying this as a netbook when it is not a net book. It's a chromebook. Everything is based out of the cloud hence the reason why there is only a 16gb HDD.

NOT WORTH THE COST

 

Samsung is late in the netbook market and with the only good thing that its running chrome OS. If you look at the specs, it has only 6-cell battery and doesn't mention the hours of battery life. With that 6-cell battery, it won't last more than 3-4...

Chrome OS and Samsung Quality

It's too pricy and old for current market
