Does not run standard Windows applications
Loses most of its utility without Internet connection
Pricey
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

Poor audio quality
Rudimentary file manager
Can't multitask
Can't access Google Docs or Reader offline
Poor performance
Severly limited utility
More expensive than Windows-based netbooks. Media player is very primitive. Clickpad is a bit wonky. No Ethernet or Bluetooth. VGA requires a dongle attachment. File management is hard to grasp. Web Store doesn't have enough apps to make the Chrome OS experience compelling.
It's "a browser in a box"
Essentially a paperweight if you lose WiFi or 3G access
Minimal local storage
Runs hot
Expensive
Offline document editing not yet available
Doesn't support 4G
Limited storage
Offline abilities
Much shorter battery life than previous Chromebook
Considering limits of OS and hardware
Terrible Usability in Offline Mode
Rather pricey
Chrome OS Has Limited Functionalty
Screen could be a bit crisper when it comes to text
Touchpad buttons would be a nice addition
The Series 5 is expensive for its features and abilities
And using it can be frustrating depending on your wireless signal strength
Too many open tabs test the Chromebook's resources. Only 100 MB of free monthly 3G service most likely means signing up for a new data plan. 0 leans towards the high end for a webonly notebook. Selection of web apps in Chrome web store leaves a lot to be
100MB/month data allocation is ludicrous
Needs more plugin support
Too pricey.
No big disks
No keyboard backlight
No DVD drive
No Bluetooth
No other traditional laptoppy stuff. Speakers stink. Screen is dim and lacks sharpness. Could be lighter. The whole “Just the web?” thing doesn't fly for everyone
No significant offline access to apps
No Java support
Flaky touchpadVideo-out requires an adapterHampered by Chrome OS' limited functionality
Shorter battery life than last-gen modelSpeakers max out at low volumeExpensive given what it can do right now
No Netflix streaming at launchSlight performance hit with an ARM chipDimmer display than in previous models
Software infrastructure is still under construction

De achilleshiel van de Chromebook is wat ons betreft de prijs. Voor 50 tot 100 euro meer kun je een iPad 2 kopen die meer kan dan de Chromebook. Google had eigenlijk veel eerder met dit initiatief moeten komen! Willen Samsung en Google met de Chromeboo...

Het is lastig om een oordeel te vellen over de Series 5 van Samsung met Chrome OS. Over de kleine notebook zijn we vrij positief. De netbook die Samsung aflevert is luxe en goed geschikt voor mobiel gebruik. De behuizing is plat en licht, de ssd is lekke...

Sinceramente, ainda não vale a pena apostar nos Chromebooks. A ideia desses notebooks é genial, mas o funcionamento ainda deixa a desejar, sendo que os resultados práticos não são suficientes para recomendarmos a compra do produto.A baixa performance do h...
Hela grejen. Ja, jag är lite förälskad i hela konceptet med en webbdator för under 3 000 kronor. Det behövs liksom inte mycket mer egentligen
Begränsningarna. Men det går inte att komma undan, det är lite trist att inte kunna installera vilka program som helst. Frågan är bara hur länge det kommer att vara ett problem, In i minsta detalj, Samsung Chromebook, Pris: 2 990 kronor, Mått: 289,6 x 20
