It seems nowadays there is a race to the bottom price market outfit in mobile technology. Today, more than before, you can find Smart phones, tablets, and even notebooks for under $100. Samsung's Chromebook is priced higher than $100, but at $250, it is affordable access to a top quality product. Backed by Google, Chromebook isn't a 'show boat' of laptops, but that's the point; netbooks like Chromebook are nothing more than segues from your tabletop to the internet. Complete with all the regular Google goodies, Samsung's Chromebook is compatible with cloud printing, boasting available offline capability for Google Drive, and holding an HDMI plug in for TVs.
Not one, but two USB ports makes this device a great value because you have external hard drive capability that you usually don't get in most netbooks. A small, but noticeable, feature is that finally, someone decided to place the power plug in the back of the device, so one won't have to stare at that annoying power head while typing or giving a presentation. You also gain about another two inches of freed up moving space when your device is plugged in.
I got a chance to check out a Netflix film on the device and was satisfied. Surfing the web was just as fast as if on a hard top. My only hang up with the device is that it does have poor screen resolution while working on offline documents. The contrast is low and from a distance looks very dark. Other than that, if the netbook came with an S Pen I would be super satisfied!
In closing, for $250, Samsung's Chromebook is def. worth the money and syncs with other Samsung devices, including S4 and Note 2 to maximize Samsung's sharing capabilities. That being said, don't be surprised to see Chromebook popping up in school districts across the country that can afford them as means of integrating technology. The future looks bright, and it looks like it belongs to Samsung!
Best,
