Cheap, Light, Simple to use, Secure, Reasonable keyboard
Web apps only, Some build issues, Lacklustre screen, No 3G option in the UK, Insufficient power for HD or gaming
Traditionally, we'd have said that a Chromebook isn't good enough to be your primary computer, and in too crowded a market with smartphones and even tablets, to consider as a second computer. Things change, though. It's not the technologies that change –...
Slow processor, useless without internet connection
For quick internet access, checking emails, making notes or emergency Facebook communiqués, the Chromebook is a lightweight, quiet (it has no fan or other moving parts), and cheap alternative to a PC or laptop. But it's annoyingly slow, and the limitat...

Abstract: Samsung 's improvements, combined with the price drop, make this an attractive netbook alternative. It's at its best as a mobile or kids' computer.Google 's Chromebooks are designed to do one thing and one thing only: run its browser-based Chrome OS. Sams...
9-hour battery life, 10-second boot-to-log-in awesomeness, Fast, Apple-slick and silent, Google apps that work offline
Shaky media playback, Let-down sound quality, Substandard screen
While the Chromebook concept is better on paper than it is in practice, we still admire the fact that Samsung and Google have made a usable, well-built laptop for less than RM1,500. The astonishing battery life makes it ideal for workers on the go, and it...

El bajo precio de la Chromebook se nota en la calidad de fabricación y en el rendimiento

les limitations de Chrome OS, Qualité d'écran médiocre, Aspect plastique un peu cheap
Dans sa gamme de prix, le Chromebook Samsung est une bonne machine, légère, silencieuse et agréable d'utilisation. Reste la caractéristique "Chrome OS" qui peut clairement rebuter, mais qui n'est pourtant pas dénuée d'atouts. Système d'exploitation intuit...
Je suis conscient qu’il existe d’autres options pour naviguer sur Internet, sur un matériel plus puissant pour quelques dollars de plus, et qui peut faire beaucoup plus que ce que peut faire un Chromebook. Mais ne sous-estimez pas le facteur « ça fonct...
