Compared to my first two Samsung Chromebooks that had the larger screen and only owning this one for less that 24 hours I hope that my first impression of this smaller size notebook will change. Overall I really love the Chromebook, it is very quick,starts up in seconds, I love the IOS system and not having to ever having to deal with updates or popups it's all taken care of automatically. It suits my needs perfectly for email, social media and surfing the web. Right now I am kicking myself for not going to Best Buy to check this latest version out. I do not care for the mouse pad, the responsiveness is not consistent and the texture of the now cheaper plastic material used on the keyboard feels flimsy and slippery to me and all these characteristics I'm finding very annoying right now ! Since in most cases computers can't be returned once the box is opened I'll just have to get used to it. You can't beat the price though, it's light weight, good battery life and now the vents on the underside are gone. My first Chromebook's hinge broke and I believe they resolved this issue. My second one; after a few years I was having difficulties attaching the charger and getting a decent connection to keep it charged until I found just the right position which was usually to lay the cord under the notebook, awkward at best. It still works fine otherwise and I'm ordering yet another charger in hopes that I can resolve the issue and keep it as a backup notebook. So if you have owned a Samsung Chromebook before I suggest that you actually try it out first at a store. After several years of using Samsung Chromebooks this is the one change that I do not like. Perhaps if I hadn't expected it to have the same feel this wouldn't be an issue and I wouldn't be writing this review.
