"Samsung advertises a 6 hour battery life for this machine. That´s what I get if I use it at max brightness. At 50% brightness, which in my opinion is just fine, it´s closer to 7:30. Pages load really fast. Even Youtube is relatively fast."
Pros: Lightweight

"I bought this as a replacement for my hire laptop and i have to say its completely amazing.
Ive wanted a chromebook since the orignal samsung series 5 came out, however im glad i waited because the design of the series 3 is much more to my liking as well as being powerful enough to handle anything i need it to do. Also on another note it is so slim and light its easy to take it anywhere without weighing you down. Truly a must have especially for people who are fed up with the "windows experience" to which i am and simply want something that flawlessly works.. Well done samsung and google."

"This little beauty is one of the best value best looking pc come tablet there is out, it is simple as that. If you remember what its target is, and it is meant for the internet (even though i use it frequently without the internet) you will not be disappointed. the keyboard is one of the easiest ive used for typing on any laptop ive used, and the performance is very good. My only gripe would be one or two more local applications or native applications like expanded video player - no company seems to grasp at the moment that most video playing done on portable devices are done not connected."
Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: native apps

A Writer's Dream.

"As a writer, I wanted something lighter and more portable than my 15" Macbook pro--this fit the bill perfectly.
I've only owned my Samsung Chromebook for two days and I'm already totally in love with it. I had trawled the internet for a device that offered a few very specific features: lightness/portability, simplicity of use, affordability, and some kind of word processor. I considered a keyboard case for my iPad (the quality of the keyboards just wasn't good enough and they were often too small); following that I looked at dozens of netbooks, notebooks and laptops and everything was either too expensive (or not good value for money), too heavy, or too ugly.
Initially, I overlooked the Chromebook, put off by what I thought to be a complete lack of offline functionality. Thank goodness I did my research! Now that certain things can be downloaded to the (fairly limited) on board memory, allowing offline access to documents saved on Google Drive, as well as reading previously downloaded email and composing new ones--all of which synchronises once you have internet access--the Chromebook not only becomes a viable option for working on the go, it beats much of the competition.
The Chromebook looks beautiful; quite like a Macbook Air. Obviously, it's plastic, not aluminium, but then it's more than £600 cheaper! It's beautifully light and doesn't seems to suffer with overheating, even after several hours of use. The battery lasts well; yesterday I was online for about four hours and had 50% of my battery left when I turned in for the night.
The keyboard is excellent. At a guess, I'd say it was about 95% the size of the one on my Macbook. It's comfortable to type on and has a few customisable keys. Google Docs provides a more than adequate word processor, as well as spreadsheets and slideshow presentation software, though they're not a patch on MS Office, but still very good for online software.
The trackpad is very responsive, if a little rough to the touch, and does not support the 'pinch to zoom' or 'swipe back/forward' multi-touch gestures. It does have single finger click (obviously), two finger double-click, and two finger scrolling.
The screen lets the Chromebook down a bit. It has a matt finish (so reduced glare), and is not amazing quality. But it is perfectly adequate, has great brightness levels, and is really not that bad considering the Chromebook's price tag.
And what a price tag. In my opinion it's excellent value for money. I would highly recommend it to writer's, students, maybe as a reasonably priced laptop for someone with teenage kids all demanding gadgets for Christmas (the Chromebook handles multiple user accounts beautifully).
Overall, very impressed. Ideally I would have liked to give it 4.5 stars, deducting the half for the reduced quality screen."
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: not the best quality monitor.
