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

Das Samsung Chromebook hat für diese Preisklasse eine hochwertige Verarbeitung. Der schnelle Systemstart und die gute Tastatur schrecken auch vor einem kurzen Chat in der Regionalbahn nicht ab - wenn eine Internetverbindung besteht. Wenn nicht, ist das C...
relativ ziemlich teuer, bislang wenige Funktionen, Internetverbindung zwingend vorausgesetzt
Das Samsung XE500C21-H02DE Chromebook ist nicht viel anders als ein normales Windows-Netbook, gleichzeitig aber durch den Internet-Zwang viel unflexibler in der Nutzung. Das ist vor allem in Anbetracht der Tatsache zu bedenken, dass es in Deutschland ...

klein und schick, starke Akkulaufzeit, ausreichend Rechenpower zum Surfen, kurze Startzeit,
teuer angesichts der Leistung, viele Features von Internetverbindung abhängig,
Trotz der soliden Hardware, dem schnellen Startvorgang und der herausragenden Akkulaufzeit können wir das Samsung Chromebook Serie 5 nicht empfehlen. Dafür ist das Chrome OS einfach noch zu unfertig. Hier besteht noch einiges an Nachbesserungsbedarf f...
Super snelle interface en laptop, Makkelijk in gebruik, Licht, klein maar toch ideaal formaat, Accuduur
Afwerking van klepjes aan de zijkant, Ergonomie van het trackpad
De Chromebook is niet voor geavanceerde werkzaamheden zoals programmeren en video bewerking, daar is hij gelukkig ook niet voor gemaakt. Het is een prachtmachine om thuis en onderweg tekstverwerking, mail en een spelletje op te doen. Zoals ik al eerder ze...
Chrome OS, Printen, Bestandsbeheer, Te kaal besturingssysteem, Te weinig mogelijkheden, Veel te duur
We hebben de conclusie eigenlijk al grotendeels laten doorschemeren op de vorige pagina. Wij zijn voor heel veel initiatieven die Google voortbrengt, het zorgt vaak voor veel innovatie binnen de betreffende markt, maar van Chrome OS kunnen we helaas niet...
