After being a Windows laptop user for many years we got this chromebook to try out. I was curious about how a web focused laptop that did not have a rich desktop client application behind it would perform. ( Yes, this is geek speak )The hardware - The Chromebook line is maturing with a selection that is no longer built solely with low powered laptop processors. Also the hardware is becoming more mature with the feel of the devices beingmore aligned with mid range laptops. Chromebooks provide low powered computing solutions, especially if you are tied to web apps they can be a very good fit. Those of us who have been accustomed to using our cell phone as their primary internet device would find a chromebook as a good extension allowing more screen real estate.The software side - this is where the chromebook is still struggling a bit to find its sweet spot as it is an independent platform from android but now allows android apps to run on chrome OS. While this allows for a whole host of new apps to run on the chromebook it also leads to some confusion as you cannot run some android apps on a chromebook. This includes some of Googles own android apps on its chrome OS...frankly it is a bit of a mess.As far as the Samsung device goes it is well built using solid parts and has a good build quality. The battery life is great and it is nice being able to charge from a small USB-C charger rather than a large power brick. If you want a secondary device for a web based utilization then this is a good fit.
