Chromebook Features
Instant On
The Samsung Chromebook gets you on the web as quickly as possible. It boots in less than 10 seconds and resumes instantly from sleep. Open the lid, and you're back on the web so you don't miss a beat. And Chromebooks are designed to get faster over time as updates are released.
Find Your Next Favorite Web App
Every Chromebook runs millions of web apps, from games to spreadsheets to photo editors. Thanks to the power of HTML5, many apps keep working even in those rare moments when you're not connected. To try the latest apps, visit the Chrome Web Store or just type in a URL. You can easily create shortcuts on your new tab page to launch your favorite web applications, so that you can enhance your online experience. No CDs required.
Simplicity in Sync
Chromebooks keep your apps, documents, favorites and settings safely in the cloud. That means you can login to a friend's Chomebook and access your profile without disturbing theirs. Or, if you lose or break your Chromebook you have nothing to worry about. Just get another and login, you will be back up and running in minutes like nothing happened.
Forever Fresh
Your Chromebook gets better and better over time, unlike a traditional PC. When you turn it on, it updates itself. Automatically. All of your apps stay up-to-date, and you get the latest and greatest version of the operating system without having to think about it. Annoying update prompts not included.
Friends Let Friends Log In
Chromebooks are easy to share with family and friends. They can log in to experience all of their own Chrome settings, apps and extensions, or use a Guest session to browse privately. Either way, no one else using your Chromebook will have access to your email and personal data.
Built-in Security
Chromebooks run the first operating system designed from the ground up to defend against the ongoing threat of malware and viruses. They employ the principle of "defense in depth" to provide multiple layers of protection, including sandboxing, data encryption, and verified boot. Websites load quickly and smoothly and all your apps, documents, and settings are stored safely in the cloud.

247 of 268 people found the following review helpful Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Samsung Series 5 3G 12.1-Inch Chromebook (Titan Silver) (Personal Computers) Quick points:- Yes, it DOES work offline. There are loads of apps and games that do work offline, and offline mode is coming to Gmail, Docs, and Calendar very soon (this summer) - Web apps are nearing the usefulness of actual desktop apps - The vast majority of people don't need Photoshop or Final Cut Pro, or a 4GHz processor - Web apps are the future. They are compatible with any OS that has a browser, which is basically every OS - Seems even more secure against viruses than a Mac - No more paying for OS updates like you do with Mac or Windows - Don't need antivirus software running all the time - Open sourced OS is very technologically ethical, meaning more progress and more transparency in terms of what is going on inside OUR computers - The browser was becoming an OS itself already for while, Google is just separating it - Super fast start up time and long battery life are great pluses - What about music/video offline? It...

I absolutely love it. It has all but replaced my desktop.Momma is 75 and very nervous of computers. My parents have a Windows desktop, and she is always complaining about how slow it is, how it always wants to install updates, virus warnings, firewall issues, and lots and lots of features she'll NEVER need. All she wants to ever do is deal with their Gmails, check her bank account, read the news, and talk to us across the ocean. When hubby and I found out about the Chromebook, the first thing he said is "THAT is ideal for your Mom!". It took about 3 minutes to set up from start to finish, and she was off to the races. She LOVES it!! It is just so easy. All she needs to do is flip it open, and 1 second later she can browse all she likes, or chat, or send an email. No updates to worry about. No viruses. No buttons to push or X-es to click, no Start button to... Read more 13 of 14 people found the following review helpful By schmay (Wisconsin) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Samsung Series 5 3G 12.1-Inch Chromebook (Titan Silver) (Personal Computers) I purchased this notebook to evaluate its use for students in a K-12 academic setting, where students and faculty all use Google Apps as their productivity/communication/collaboration tool, so this review will address the Chromebook from that perspective. If you are new to the use of Google Apps suite of tools, this notebook might not be the best fit for you until you've experienced what GA for business, education, or enterprise has to offer. Most folks who are panning this device clearly were looking for something else upon purchase.We recently have become a Google Apps school, where students in grades 2-12 grade have access to school GA accounts (with graduated privileges as they get older). Being an all-Mac school, we have certainly done our share of pondering the role of iPads in students hands. With the initial swell of popularity, I think that there has been a slight "pressure" to make the them fit as a tool that every student should have in their backpacks; as a... Read more |
