I'd argue this Samsung is on the higher end of Chromebooks that you may find when browsing Amazon, at least price-wise. The issues come from the poor performance on certain tasks, the inability to use certain apps due to ChromeOS, and the lackluster screen.It is nice to see that this laptop will have continued support from Google for a long time, which is good as ChromeOS is all you will really be able to install here. After doing a little bit of research, this generation Chromebook is essentially locked to ChromeOS and needs a special USB to bypass to install Linux. Well, recently you can install Linux applications so hope is not all lost.Try having a few tabs open and then that hope goes right down the drain. Webpages my nearly decade-old ThinkPad X220 can open with ease struggles on the Celeron. I do understand that you do get great battery life but the trade off to me isn't worth it. The idea of scrolling down and having lag issues is something I'd expect in a 2015 Chromebook.The screen is what most people are going to buy this for, it's 1080p and 15 inches. Great for sitting at a coffee shop and watching content, except it isn't. Colors are awful and since it's TN, you will need to be looking directly at it, could Samsung not really afford to get IPS here at this price point?I found that sharing this with my parents has been a blessing, they seem more contempt with it than I with ChromeOSs account sharing features. However, even they would go back to their Windows/Mac devices as certain websites, in particular news orientated or heavy JS based websites, left them frustrated.In a time where everything has to be online, you'd feel that Google would have a bit more flexibility on the software, and Samsung would spring a bit more on the hardware. This device is almost perfect on many aspects, the keyboard and touchpad are great, the build doesn't feel cheap and is thin enough to not notice in my bag compared to my huge old laptop. All of that is irrelevant when using the computer is restrictive and frustrating. It should be clear, that I wouldn't recommend this device.
