I have been a Amazon Prime member for years.  I order so many products, for myself and my businesses, from Amazon, I'm sure I have put several of their employees children through collage...lol.  I own two business.  I have been an independent graphic designer and image consultant for over 25 years.  I have exclusively used Apple products since 1986.  In 2011, I purchased a health club and moved all of it's computer hardware to the Apple platform.  My health club uses an online club management software.  The software can be run from any browser and any platform.  I love my Apple computers and believe that the platform is so far superior than anything else out there.  Having said this, I decided to order a Chromebook because it would address my needs while being extremely cost effective.THE NEED:  I needed a laptop computer at my health club for new members to activate their membership.  I had been using an iPad Air and Apple bluetooth keyboard for a few years as the main access for members.  This worked fine, but the software proved to be a tad clunky when accessed through a tablet.  I knew that a laptop would be an answer, but I didn't want to drop over $1,000 for an Apple computer when it would be a waste.  I just needed to access a web browser.  I didn't need to run any software of the computer.  I debated for month about the idea of using a Chrome platform, but the choice was easy...the Samsung Chromebook 2 is under $230.00!THE EXPERIENCE:  I received my Chromebook 2 overnight and I can say that the set up was extremely simple and fast.  If you have a Google account, you are on the web in just a few minutes.  The build of the machine is quite good.  Now, nothing can compare to the build quality of an Apple computer.  Apple sets the bar extremely high and their craftsmanship is extremely on point.  With that said, I was impressed with the quality of the laptop at this price point.  The keyboard feels nice and study.  Although made of plastic, the casing feels well designed and every cease and connection feels strong and tight.  The matte screen displays pleasing colors.  Although the viewing angles aren't wide, the overall viewing experience is pleasurable.  Remember, this is coming from a guy who uses Apple's Retina Displays for his computing and smartphone.  Even my watch (An Apple Watch) is Retina display!The processor id quite responsive.  I noticed no noticeable la in bringing up websites.  Youtube videos played quickly and were easy to scrub through to find specific points in a video.  If you own a printer which offers Google Cloud Printing, printing from your Chromebook is very easy.  You might not have as many choices as a direct driver from a MAC or PC, but for your daily business printing needed, this service is more than adequate.WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE?  I would be hard pressed to criticize this machine for what it offers at this price point.  It think for what it is, it is OUTSTANDING.  The only reason I did not give it five stars is because I ultimately have to compare it to a Apple computer, which in my view is beyond five stars.  The only criticism is that the trackpad could be a little smoother.  It seems to jump at point rather than move smoothly.  In full disclosure, this could be due to my sole experience with the Apple platform.  I do recall PC trackpad being somewhat less responsive.  I have noticed that the smoothness has seemed to increase.  Maybe this is me just getting use to the differences.If you are on a budget and you need a computer to access the web and email, this is the computer for you.  If you are already using Google Mail and Google Drive, a Chromebook 2 will be a Godsend.  This Apple guy is very impressed.
