I deleted my first review which simply reflected my research and reasoning for buying this chromebook and I'm adding this update in its place after using the chromebook for 3 weeks or so. I limited my research to chromebooks ranging from $200 to $250. I do want to point out again that there is a prior version of this chromebook with the same shortened name (Samsung Chomebook 2) so if you are price comparing elsewhere make sure you are getting this version that only just came out. I made my purchase decision based mainly on preliminary reviews on well known review sites that touted the improved durable construction as a highlight. Connections (usb / hdmi / bluetooth) were at least equal to the other chromebooks I researched - I didn't see others with the blue tooth option and I don't need two USB3 connections for my uses. I guessed that processor speed would be similar in all of these chromebooks and I haven't seen any comparison testing on the web and I only own this chromebook. I also saw the same criticisms for angled viewing on the acers and the toshiba I looked at but again I only own this chromebook.When I took it out of the box I was immediately pleased with its "solidness" (if that's a word). It doesn't feel flimsy at all. I'm happy to say I haven't dropped it yet so I can't tell you about that.I plugged it in and it turned on by itself which was surprising.  I saw another review here that said her chromebook hung for a long time on the initial configuring and that was my experience too. The directions tell you the configuration could take 5 minutes but I was busy with something else and let it run 20 minutes before taking a chance (when all else failed) and just hit the power button. When I turned it back on it was ready to go with no problem.I signed in with my google account (required) and haven't had a problem since. I will just bullet the rest of my impressions:--Holy cow the battery is phenomenal.  I use this a couple of hours a day and with surfing use I can go 3 or 4 days without a charge.--I laughed about not having a delete key but I must admit it takes getting used to using only the backspace; the keys are raised enough and since I used a netbook keyboard for a little while I am getting quite proficient at typing on it. I have a wireless keyboard I used on my old laptop and if I need to in the future I can through it on this.--It's not a 1080p but the picture is very good--Even though I knew I would be limited to apps and not free to just download any program like on a windows laptop, there are things I now realize I wish it could do. I have a desktop computer too and I've tested the remote desktop and it works nicely and put my fears to rest about not being able to use the same income tax program this year. Anyone who wants to use popcorn time will need to download the Linux ubuntu OS.--the processor speed is very fast and if there is something out there faster it can't be that much faster.  I am very happy.--streaming video works without a glitch. the quality is near what I get on the same websites on my ethernet connected desktop that has a decent video card--I'll update this again only if I run into trouble in the future.
