Great looking Chromebook with the leather lid, good battery life
Screen could be a bit crisper when it comes to text, touchpad buttons would be a nice addition
Overall the Samsung Chromebook 2 performed well, with decent color and sound for an 11.6″ laptop. As mentioned above, having 4GB of RAM is definitely nice and I am really fond of the leather folio look of Samsung's offering. If you're looking for a small...

The Samsung Chromebook is a nice laptop for such a low price. It runs Chrome OS nicely on the ARM processor which yields a decent battery life of over 7 hours. The Chromebook runs silently as the ARM processor requires no fans for cooling. This is one ...

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 ...

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: How much would you pay for a cloud-centric computer? With its new $249 Samsung Chromebook -- a system based on the idea of doing almost everything online -- Google is hoping it's finally gotten the price right. The new Samsung Chromebook runs Google's ...

Quick boot time, Faster processor, more RAM than previous model make for better performance, Improved OS feels less like "just a browser"
Limited storage, offline abilities, Much shorter battery life than previous Chromebook, Pricey, considering limits of OS and hardware
Samsung's latest Chromebook offers better performance and usability, but the price is still steep, considering the limitations of Chrome OS and the constant need for an Internet connection. Read More...
