the worst product i have ever purchased from samsung. i bought 4 of them during this pandemic at the same time for each of my children. we have been cautious. it has a station, and one day i woke up turn all the laptops on to prepare to homeschool, my children. one of the laptop screens was messed up. i decided to send it in. when they got it, they told me, “it's your fault” .... no customer service at all. and that my warranty is not going to cover it and it will cost me $150 to replace the screen. bare in mind that's like buying another one... um no. money down the drain. samsung needs to do better!

it sucks, i use these for school daily. the school had provided these for everyone foronline school. this laptop is slowest laptop i've ever used, as it cant handle 3 tabs without lagging the zoom call badly.

for how cheap this device is i'm astounded at the specs it can pull off, great value for a great price. not the strongest but its only really for streaming video and work/schooling. again the screen is that screen that gets dark if you look at it from below and gets lighter when looked at from above, infact im writing this on the chromebook 3 right now!

great laptop, until about 3 yrs in when the screen stopped working. stays black despite all my trouble shooting. has been well cared for, but lacks reliability.

the best laptop i've owned! i am a second-year college student now but was gifted this laptop about 3 years ago before leaving to study abroad in high school. i am so thankful for this laptop because it is portable, lightweight, and has amazing battery life. i was able to take my laptop on several trips and work on essays and scholarships because i could fit it in my bag among so many other things. the only downside is the camara quality but i only used it a couple of times for zoom calls. other than that it doesn't bother me.

it works well enough to watch youtube and surf the web, at a slow pace. the video player on yt tries to play in 4k which i'm fairly certain this display is only 720 or 1080, though i don't think that's the fault of the device. the battery after a few years lasts about 5 or 6 hours.

This Chromebook is an excellent model, runs smoothly even with 10 tabs open at once, and has Android and Linux support. However, the one downside is the abysmal storage space. 16 GB is laughable when Android and Linux are both supported. In the early days of ChromeOS, 16 GB would be more than enough. But now, I need more space than the flash drive I have sitting on my desk. Even worse, ChromeOS takes up nearly 6 GB, leaving my SSD with a dismal 10 GB left after a powerwash. I am planning to upgrade the SSD, but I cannot find out what type of drive I need.

I bought it 2 years ago and now it struggles to run google docs without stuttering and it’s not my WiFi’s fault

We picked this up on Black Friday for our daughter for Christmas last year when she was in first grade because they were using them in class and the teacher suggested getting one. They have been using them more in second grade for many different programs and she navigates easily through it. We were grateful we had it when the kids were sent home from school and it is used every day google classroom and Zoom dancing.

I recently purchased a Chromebook 3, as I needed a laptop during this COVID 19 pandemic to do my work from home. To start things off I am not a laptop guy. To be frank I have not used a laptop for several years and I typically did everything on my Galaxy S9+ and that has been working like a charm for me until now. If you are purchasing this device just make sure you have the proper expectations. I needed a device for Emailing and video calling for my meetings. The Chromebook 3 works like a gem! I also enjoy the fact that everything is cloud base content, so I do not have to worry about filling up my internal storage. If you are seeking a device that operates with a similar platform as your Galaxy phone. This is the laptop for you! The ONLY downside for me is that I wish the screen was better quality. I guess if I wanted that I could have upgraded to a little bit more costly device. So I wont complain, just know that when viewing content on this Laptop you do have to fine the "Sweet Spot" for your viewing angle. Aside from that, enjoy your new Laptop!!!! You will not regret it!

I purchased this chromebook last night because I have had a lot of good experiences with chromebooks previously. So far I am pretty dissapointed, every time I go to type or do anything, everything moves very slowly. My main concern though is that I cant get it to charge because the charger wont stay in the laptop. I have to constantly adjust it because I look away and the laptop is once again not charging. I dont think its a problem with the charger, it just seems like the laptop itself was manufactured to not fit well with the charger. Very frustrating, I dont know how im supposed to charge my laptop over night when the charger seems to be too small for the charging port.

I have been a loyal Samsung customer for years. both my wife and i have note 10+ I am waiting on my s20 ultra to ship. galaxy watch, buds, and TV. I love every Samsung product i own except my Chromebook. i had to get the changer replaced out of the box. keys are not working. its very sluggish. the long batter life is a joke, mine wont last more then 3 hours. i got this Chromebook for school but i end up doing 90% of my school work on my note 10. I would not recommend anyone wast there money on this product

I like having a key board. I use a mouse. Like the size of the screen, speed. My only complaint is I have yet to get 11 hours of battery life even after a full charge. It is perfect for my needs.

I cant even describe how basic this computer is! My phone is capable of doing much more than this computer! Any smartphone can easily replace this computer. Everything requires a downloaded file/app. This computer is really just there for the keyboard access for typing basic papers and searching google! My 10 year olds skills out grew this computer within the first 30 days. Wasted my money i couldve bought a used Apple computer and it wouldve been a better investment! Theres no way to leave zero stars!! Samsung Should stick to TVs they really stink at everything else.

Bought this about a month ago. opened it up about 2 weeks later. The screen constantly blacks out. The screen is still on, however there is no display. Just blank. Laptop is fully charged, perfect condition. But from the very moment it was received I have not been able to use it for more than 20 to 30 minutes at a time without the screen blacking out. The only thing i can do at that point is completely turn it off, close it, then reopen. I have done a full restart multiple times. I'm contacting them tonight to see if it can be serviced. I really hope they can fix this problem. If they can't, then this device is completely useless to me. Which is too bad. I was very excited about this chromebook, and so far I've only been continuously disappointed. I really hope I can come back and update this review later to be more positive.

Received the Chromebook the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Was so happy. Followed all the instructions, but much to my dismay the Chromebook wouldn't charge. It would not turn on. The light would turn green, but once I opened it the light would revert back to blue. Regettably had to return it to have another one reissue. Anticipating a replacement.ARAMY

I just bought my third Samsung Chromebook 3 in about ten years (averaging 5 years life). I use it daily for research, entertainment, limited document creation and video support for a class I teach. It is absolutely a great tool! While my buddy is warming up his $500 laptop, I turn this on for instant support. I see that Samsung has created enhanced versions...but for now, this one is perfect, at a great price. Thank you Samsung! You made my computer purchase and usage a wonderful experience.

I got it now about a week or so ago and am pleased with it; although, one disappointment is that you cannot attach an external HD or CD drive and even took it to Best Buy where the technician told me that its not equipped to handle that type of connection even though there is a port to accept. Very disappointing!

It was a ok laptop and definitely good for the price but BEWARE of the subpar performance and restricted OS. If I were you, I would want to be dead set that chrome OS would work or purchasing this product is not a good idea. Linux programming capabilities were restricted and thermals were poor. Screen and keyboard are OK. PS everything is made of plastic and gets NUMEROUS scratches. If you want to buy it, buy it on black friday for 129$.

The screen was wonky when I received it, as of today, the screen is broken and is not usable in anyway. This was a free chromebook for switching to Verizon FIOS.

I did not realize you could not use the device before logging into a google account. So if you don't have internet access then it's not for you. (I would give it 5 stars if the OS would allow guest login before adding a user account. In other words usable out of the box.) The guest account can view files, play video/audio Browse the web, but may not use apps directly for text editing game play etc. One big plus is I am able to use a USB to Ethernet adapter instead of wifi this makes it a keeper. Other pluses: apps that don't need the web can be run off line, 2 USB ports, uSD slot, HDMI port and long battery life. I understand the hardware maker has little control over the OS so I give the hardware 5 stars. I Wish it could boot from an SD card or a USB stick. It is small but feels well built. I would only recommend this product to persons with internet access.
