Finally decided to buy a Chromebook after hearing mixed reviews on the overall experience. So I never invested in one until the Samsung Chromebook 2 in Fiesta Red went on a massive sale down to $299 from $699. Has a QLED HD 1080p display and of course from Samsung and it's by far and away the best feature of the Chromebook 2. The build quality is of high end and I recommend going for the 128gb 8gs RAM with the i3 core processor which is plenty enough horsepower and is every bit as seemingly fast as an i5 core processor. So far I have enjoyed the user experience. I like the size of the display and it's overall size at 13.3 inch display makes it very versatile being a 2n1 touch screen and turning it into tablet mode with the 360 hinges. Lastly the keyboard is great. The keys have adequate spacing and the feedback has a good feel. The track pad which I rarely use because I also bought a fully Bluetooth mouse from Best Buy also to use with it which I recommend as well. If not the track pad is fine. It's not too small and is smooth and easy to use. It comes with two Type C ports, headphone jack, and a micro SD card slot. I actually went into it with a mindset that I would just try it and return it but to end I will say, that I have used it every day and night since it arrived over a week ago browsing the web or navigating the apps. The battery life is awesome. Easily will give you over 10 hours between charges. If you are looking for a great laptop type experience that actually runs browser type full desktop format and runs mobile apps giving you a mixed use and all for of that at only $299 and lastly it looking flat out cool in the Red color and the aluminum build quality. At $299 it's a win all day long and you just can't go wrong for the sales price. If in question, get it! You will be glad you did! I'm actually typing this review on mine now. The QLED Samsung display is worth the $299 alone itself so it's massive savings! Grab one and enjoy with pleasure!

I love the beautiful Red color. I love the color and the brightness of the screen. I love how I can use it as a computer and a tablet if I need to. I love the light keys when it is dark. If you are use to a USB port, it has none. I did not know that when I bought it, but it was cool, I got an adapter and it is awesome. I love the clearness of the screen and how bright that it looks. I am very happy with it.

The Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2 impresses with its sleek body and lightweight design, complemented by a beautiful color. Its fast processing power ensures smooth performance. However, the absence of a USB-A port for a wireless mouse might inconvenience some users. Overall, with its impressive features and value for the price, it's a beautiful device worth considering.

Absolutely love my Samsung Galaxy Chromebook. It’s a great alternative to lugging around my much heavier laptop and at a fraction of the price I feel much more comfortable carrying it around with me. I primarily use it for casual internet browsing, watching YouTube videos, writing/note taking, emailing and reading ebooks. I’ve received several compliments on it from friends, colleagues and even strangers. I would highly recommend it if you’re looking for something that is both more portable, affordable and has a better battery life than a traditional laptop.

Good Performance and Vibrant Display

I purchased the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2 and have been generally pleased with its performance. The Intel Core i3 processor and 8GB memory allow for smooth multitasking, and the 13.3-inch QLED touch screen offers vibrant colors and sharp visuals. The keyboard is comfortable to type on, and the battery life lasts around 9-10 hours with moderate usage. The device's aluminum build feels solid and premium. However, the fanless design can lead to some heat buildup, and the glossy display can be reflective. Overall, it's a reliable Chromebook with a few minor drawbacks. I would rate it 4 stars.

This laptop is exactly what we were looking for. The size makes it very east to transport it and use it anywhere. The touchscreen and backlit keys are nice. The screen folds back to use it in tablet mode. We will be buying another one shortly for my son for college.

This is a great computer for students who are going to school/ college. This computer allows me to go to multiple classes daily and interact with my classmates. I would most definitely recommend this to anyone who is in school. I was able to get it delivered 2 days after I bought it.

I cant believe i copped this for $299.99 randomly on sale i knew how stupid it would be to pass it up. even if it suffered a dramatic price drop, theres no way it would stay that cheap. I checked Amazon at the same moment they had it for $570.00 + 128gb memory card. regardless, ive had my eye on it since it came out so it was meant to be, & now that i own it i wish i had bought two. so far its running great, is sleek, gorgeous as f in fiesta red. Id have to say this is still worth it for $699.99 if you have the bread & desire even half of the needs it can fulfill. perfect little computer to travel around with or use freely around the house. Ive yet to exercise its tablet folding feature, however, look forward to it. Get this fn thing if you keep looking at it.. you lookin ess

I purchased this item for my mother. She had the s6lite but hated not having a keyboard and she has no idea how to operate a windows computer/laptop. I figured this would be a happy medium. I purchased it as an open box item and it appeared to be brand new. Its a 2 in 1 so it can be like a laptop or a tablet, in either position you can still use the touchscreen. I did end up returning it because my mom changed her mind and wanted to keep her tablet. If i didnt have the Galaxy Book3 360 and didnt need windows applications, i wouldve kept it for myself. One of the nicer 2in1 laptop even compared to ones with windows operations.
