Samsung Chromebook (XE303) Review: Testing ARM's Cortex A15

 

Google announced the Chrome OS project two years ago , and with it came the first Chromebook: the CR-48. The Chrome OS concept seemed revolutionary at the time. In 2010 we were well into the latest round of questioning whether today's PCs were fast...

On the SoC side, our first look at ARM's Cortex A15 is quite positive from a performance standpoint. I'm still not convinced on its power consumption for smartphone use (

For such an attractive price, the Samsung Chromebook 3G makes a nice laptop. It’s light, thin, compact, silent, lasts over 6 hours, and powerfully fast. It’s also easy and safe enough for kids to use with no moving parts within and low risk of malware...

Samsung Chromebook Review ($249 ARM-based model)

 

The is one of the thinnest, lightest, and least expensive laptops available today. It's the third Chromebook from Samsung, which means it's a laptop designed to run Google's Chrome OS operating system. The $249 laptop is also the first Chromebook to...

Any apps or data installed outside of Chrome OS won’t be synchronized with your Google account… and if you muck with the system too much you might cause problems. But Google provides software that lets you restore a Chromebook to its original factory...

XE303C12 Chromebook review

 

Samsung's Chromebook is a great size for an everyday laptop. However, it makes use of Google's Chrome OS, so it's not like a regular Windows or Mac laptop, and it needs an Internet connection to function properly. It's worth considering if you already...

Small and light Price Useful if you already rely on Google services

Limited in what it can do Needs an Internet connection for proper use Touchpad sometimes innacurate

Value for money that cannot be denied

 

Bought two refurb/scratch & dent units for under $100 each, and really, the only thing that betrayed the "scratch & dent" designation was the bottom of the chassis. Keyboard, touchpad, and screen were both flawless on both units. Simply no complaint at...

Unbeatable for travel. Looks great -- big performance in a thin package, too. I can do 90% of what I need to do... email, surf the web, work on MS Word and Excel documents. With things like Google Docs, Dropbox, and tons of apps, as long as you have a...

32GB would have been much nicer than 16GB, but for the price, zero complaints. Runs a little warm if you leave it on your lap for a while... only slightly, though. Adapter is a little annoying (it's not small and compact... long cables, too).

Great little chromebook

 

I loaded linux xfce for the fun of it. Both chrome OS and xfce run well together.

Unit was listed as B refurb. The unit I received was more like an A- at worst. The unit had a few minor abrasions in the one place you don't care about, the bottom of the unit. Otherwise the unit was spotless. No scratches or anything. Very pleased...

Cannot upgrade but then most chromebooks in this price range are, what they are. Besides, not sure it really needs any more performance.

Great Little Chromebook

 

Overall, it is an excellent value for the price. It does what it's supposed to do. Very light weight weight.

Great condition for a grade B refurb. Purchased two (2) as gifts for my Godsons. They love them. They are able to take care of business (research, homework, email, shopping, lite gaming).

The ARM architecture makes it more difficult to install Linux. I think there is a way to install Ubuntu via Crouton but not sure how difficult it is and if I will be able to easily switch between OSs.

Good deal for a good unit

 

Only minor scratches on the on the LCD cover, otherwise can't tell it's a refurb.

A little sluggish but still very usable

Great value for the price

 

My second Chromebook ... this unit was originally manufactured in May 2013 (making it 30 months old). Works well, battery seems to be fine, slight blemishes but in otherwise nice , clean shape. Well packed ... but no documentation at all (so if you...

My expectations were for a grade B refurb, so I didn't expect brand new factory fresh condition. Just keep that in mind.
