Slim Sleek Beautiful Power Hungry Beast
A good place to start would be that I got this chromebook at a discount ($749, down from $999). And my needs are mainly to run Citrix (through browser or Chrome app, either works) for work and to casually browse, read magazines/books or listen to Spotify. Not a “Power User” by any means, though not sure any Chrome OS user is.That being said, this is THE BEST CHROMEBOOK I’VE EVER USED, and it is more than perfect to suit my needs.Build: The thing is beautiful, a really premium feel to the materials, and the red is really classy and not too gaudy as I was a bit worried and almost went with the more drab grey option – I’m glad I didn’t. The chrome ring around the outside is also a premium touch that looks great. It’s the thinnest and lightest 2-in-1 laptop I’ve ever seen, and I know that I like to use 2-in-1s in tablet mode and this is the first time it actually feels comfortable and feasible to do that for more than a brief period of time. The 2.2lbs was a big draw for me when comparing this laptop to the Galaxy Chromebook 2, Asus C436, or the Acer Spin 713 – upon using it I am glad I took it into consideration. Other great things about the build are the relatively loud stereo speakers and the built-in stylus. Minor drawbacks would be the weak hinge that doesn’t always hold the screen in place when moving the laptop if open (though for the most part it does the job) and the lack of ports (you just get 2 USB-C ports, which also function as charging ports, so if you’re charging you only have 1…adapters easily solve this). Also the cameras are weak but I don’t use those – if you’re buying for camera quality only for some reason (Zoom?) then this isn’t the one for you.Screen: The SCREEN is AMAZING. The OLED is top notch and better than any Chromebook I’ve ever seen, at full brightness the colors are insane. That being said, the high resolution and the brightness eat at the battery life a lot, so in most cases I’ve got brightness scaled way down and I don’t really miss anything, it works fine. Touch works perfectly, the stylus allows for really detailed notes/drawings in Canva or other apps. One drawback might be the bezel placement, there are 3 super-thin outer bezels and one larger bottom bezel… in tablet mode that one larger bezel functions well as a “handle” of sorts, but the other sides can’t be touched without accidentally hitting the screen and scrolling or clicking a link, etc. A very minor nuisance at most. Another minor issue is that the resolution is SO GOOD that when I run Citrix, the session almost appears blurry, but still workable – on high resolution windows machines Citrix has addressed this with DPI scaling, but they’ve yet to master this on the Chrome OS app or the Chrome web app. Not Samsung’s issue, but still part of my experience with the machine so I thought it worth mentioning.Performance: This thing is a BEAST. There’s arguably no need for an Intel i5 in a Chromebook, but here we are, and the thing is FAST. Scrolling is smooth and even with tons of tabs open I’ve never experienced lag when playing videos or games. With lots going on under the hood, and no fan, I’ve heard mention from others that the computer can get really hot under heavy loads – I’ve barely experienced this while using a decent amount of processing power, and would elaborate that when I did feel heat it was very minor and not unbearable by any means. I’m thinking unless you are gaming a lot or developing in linux or doing something really really processor heavy, you’ll be fine. A small performance gripe in general is that Android apps don’t always play well with Chrome OS and have re-sizing issues or some lag, but this is not a Samsung problem, more of a Google problem.Battery Life: Some people have called this the achilles heel of the laptop, but I don’t have much issue. Again, I’m not a real gamer/developer/super user – I am Joe Basic using it for administrative work and browsing/music/reading. On an average day at like 70% brightness I can unplug at 8am and make it to about 3 or 4pm before having to plug back in while working in Citrix doing basic tasks on MS Access, Excel, etc – nothing intense but that’s pretty much constant screentime for about 6-7 hours before it starts getting low and I’ve got to plug in. Obviously this is not great in comparison to 10+ hours at full brightness seen on other Chromebooks – but you are getting more than the average Chromebook here and this is a bit of a concession made on Samsung’s part to provide the rest of the goods. Overall if you don’t need to be away from a charger for more than 6 hours every day, you shouldn’t have an issue.Should you buy it: If you have read this far and think your needs/usage are similar to mine and you want the sleek-est, coolest, thinnest chromebook out there, DEFINITELY BUY THIS (especially if on discount, which it frequently is between Amazon, Best Buy, and Samdsung’s own site).

Great computer, bad battery.
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 muchmore 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. Overall this is a good student computer and worth the money, but if you need the windows just buy the new galaxy book pro. 6.9inch note 20 ultra for scale, 1:1 scale on both s pens. Viewing screen size is the same as the note 20 ultra, about 1.5 the size of an s8+ of note 20 ultra thickness wise. This thing is phone thin. Samsung has yet to fail me.

Disappointing but beautiful
2024:I’ve owned this for about 3 years now and it’s been solid even after dropping it, getting water in it. The left charge port after getting water in it is a little more finicky. But everything else works great. I gave this a 3 star because so much of this wasn’t working well the first year. It’s gotten better with the updates.It’s consistent even though the battery runs out in about 2.5 hours but I can drag it out longer if I needed to.It travels well and the Stylus works as expected.Now it’s really a 5 start but obviously not the first year.2021:The laptop is pretty to look at and it’s thin. The screen is a really nice quality but doesn’t outshine a MacBook but maybe a little better than the pixelbool. When you use it as a tablet it doesn’t close fully so it’s floppy and you can’t really hold it because the bezels are so small you’re always touching the screen. A common issue many have reported is the touchpad which jumps all over but that’s a software issue with other apps which are incompatible. I deleted a bunch and it worked but dunno which was the culprit.If you are buying this because you hope to use other Samsung devices with this seamlessly, well, my galaxy buds don’t always pair with this and there is no interface which I was surprised by. In fact you can’t use the apps for galaxy devices with this Chromebook.It doesn’t recognize my Samsung phone even which my Google pixelbook does a slightly better job at. The fingerprint scanner works maybe 50 percent of the time because it doesn’t pick up my fingerprints well. Battery life isn’t great but it hasn’t been too bad for me. It’s fast and rarely have I seen it glitch. I would have returned it for sure if I was still in the US but I bought it and left the country. I bought it to replace my pixelbook wthoch I’ve beat up a lot but even in it’s poor state I use the pixelbook 90 percent of the time.I wanted to add to this review – it’s really hard to use this laptop because when you turn it into a tablet it doesn’t close all the way so you’re holding something a little floppy. And the edges of the screen are so small that you’re constantly activating something with your finger pads. Ironically, as sensitive as these edges are when you click on something on the screen it doesn’t really register the finger well and you have to press a little hard.I’m comparing this to my Chromebook Pixel and it lacks a lot.Update March 2022.The screen quality isn’t that high to explain why the battery runs out so fast. The screen not closing all the way against the case in tablet mode remains a big problem in terms of usability.I can’t manage to keep the pads of my hand to activate the screen when maneuvering this laptop. A zero bezel is terrible even on a phone much less a touchscreen laptop.

This is a great computer. Light and easy to transport. Has held up to being used as a field laptop for the last 3 months.Battery life could be better, and the screen gets extremely warm while using it as a tablet. But all in all I recommend this computer to my boss when his computer died recently.

This is a great Chromebook. The brilliant screen resolution, perfectly responsive touch screen and great keyboard all outweigh the shorter battery life than we have come to expect from our devices.

Solo abrir la caja descubrà 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. ¡Perdà 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 baterÃa que de fábrica es muy pequeñita (4 horas en el mejor de los casos) el calor le resta vida. MUY MALA EXPERIENCIA! De verdad, evÃtala.
Ilove this chromebook Samsung did a great job, for it ð I can assure you u will not be disappointed at this price point don’t mind the negative comments you read here ð been using it for Almost a week now I’m still testing how good it is, –
I like everything in this laptop, ð its build Quality is superb ð two thumbs up Samsung, this review I read here in the review section most of them are bad but in my experience I research everything I need to know in this device, ð so for me I appreciate what this device can do and its limitations. ð so overall its a best buy.

Jahre lang das Samsung Galaxy Book benutzt. Aber das Windows Betriebssystem wird immer schwächer und bietet nicht wirklich viele Neuerungen. Deshalb habe ich mich für ein Chromebook entschieden. Und zwar das Samsung Galaxy Chromebook in Rot.Verarbeitung: Das Chromebook sieht super aus. Ist leicht, dünn und hochwertig verarbeitet. Mit integriertem S-Pen.Die rote Farbe leuchtet schön. Sieht Edel aus.Ausstattung. Das Gerät kommt mit Ladekabel (USA), man braucht einen Adapter für deutsche Steckdosen. Ersatzspitzen für den S-Pen. Kurze Anleitung.Display: 4K8 GB RAMSpeicherplatz: 256 GB. Kann durch eine Micro SD Karte noch erweitert werden.Sehr nützlich ist der Fingerprint Reader. Damit lässt sich das Gerät sehr schnell entsperren.Betriebssystem: Chrome OS. Ich selbst nutze Chrome OS Beta. Läuft rund ohne groÃe Probleme.Batterie: Das ist das Problem bei diesem Gerät. Die Akkuleistung ist nicht gerade berauschend! Man kommt auf 4 bis maximal 8 Std. Je nachdem wie voft man es benutzt und was man alles eingenstellt hat. Ich kann mit der Batterieleistung leben. Nutze es nur Privat und nicht für den Job.Man kann es ganz aufklappen und dann den Tablet Modus nutzen. Ideal um mit dem Stift zu arbeiten. Fürs zeichnen ist der S-Pen nicht geeignet!Da es nur in Amerika erhältlich ist, kommt es ohne deutsche Tastatur aus. áº,Ã,Ã,à gibt es nicht.Fazit: Es wäre das Perfekte Chromebook wen die Akkuleistung besser wäre.Kann es aber trotzdem empfehlen. Für den Gelegenheits Chromebook User.Wer es für den Job braucht, sollte zu einem anderen Gerät greifen.
