I have a Samsung 7 Chronos and a Samsung S4 Active. I like Samsung so I decided to go with their chromebook for mobile work and school so I wouldn't have to lug the Chronos around with its massive power cord.To summarize: It's definitely worth the price. It's a mobile unit that's fast, simple, and efficient. It's not a replacement for windows (I need visual studio, CAD software, and other windows-only products for school and work) but this allows me to squeeze in work and study where it wasn't easily done before. I can open it during lunch and reply to co-workers or have it open on a counter while cooking. I can also finally  leave my monstrous 17" Chronos at home most days.Awesome stuff:This unit has an incredibly fast boot time, is 100% silent (no fans), and has a quiet keyboard so I don't feel guilty typing past midnight. Google OS is a lot smoother than I had imagined. I don't miss windows at all when I use it. It's not weird like MAC. (There is no need for option & command instead of shift alt & control!) I'll never switch from a windows console due to the software I need, but Google has my respect for quality OS.Other Pros:Very good lookingCrisp key-pressesGood touch-padBright, mostly-matte display with higher resolution than I expectedGood OS that synced immediately with the rest of my chrome productsCons:Noticeable lag when quickly navigating the internet. While working I juggle through a dozen or so websites researching or pulling up information, none of which have any graphics heavier than a company logo. If I take a call afterhours or work at home, I notice it's delay. Its not a bad unit, and I can handle delay when I'm not on the clock, but I would not use this as a primary console for any tech-heavy job. It's faster than any MAC I ever had. (I've used three between home and work).I don't know if its a defect or if someone sent the wrong charger, but the first unit I had came with a power cord that didn't charge well. The power cord issue I had with my first unit did not occur with this one. I bumped up rating to 5 stars.
