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.

Hardware Features

SuperBright LED Display

The anti-reflective 12.1-inch LED display has a mirror effect and produces the sharpest images with 300-nit brightness, which is up to 40 percent brighter than normal laptops. Get outstanding picture quality and text readability, even when you're outdoors. Enjoy the web longer without straining your eyes.

Wireless-N Wi-Fi

It's easy to get connected to the Web with built-in Wi-Fi, which is compatible with ultra-fast Wireless-N networks (802.11n) as well as backward compatible with older networks (802.11b/g). As your Chromebook boots up, it quickly connects to your favorite wireless network so you're on the web right from the start.

 

Chromebook ports
Easy-to-Use Full-Sized Keyboard

Make the most of the web by using a keyboard that's designed for it. Your Chromebook comes equipped with a dedicated search key, a new row of web-enabled keys, and a comfortable, full-size layout that doesn't cramp your fingers so you can get more done and make fewer errors.

Longer Battery Lifespan with PowerPlus

Samsung's intelligent battery charging technology enables the battery to keep 80 percent of its original capacity for up to 1,000 recharges--more than 3x longer than a typical battery. This makes our batteries more economical and since fewer batteries need to be replaced over the lifecycle.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for what it is, October 18, 2011

This review is from: Samsung Series 5 Wi-Fi 12.1-Inch Chromebook (Titan Silver) (Personal Computers)
We've been using our Chromebook for about a week and a half now, with pretty extensive use. Overall, as others have said, if you know what you're buying then you'll be very pleased. The screen is great, the start up and resume amazing. We use it to browse, do email, and a lot of streaming TV shows and movies. I have also tried doing some work on it when I was laid up on the couch, and as predicted, it wasn't very good for that - you can view PDF files easily, Word documents not at all. So, overall, knowing that it's not going to be a work computer but just basically a good toy for web use, it's great.

The only reasons I didn't give it five stars are hardware. Like others, I am not a fan of some of the keyboard modifications. I miss having certain keys that were eliminated, such as "end" and "home" or being able to have some keyboard shortcut to jump to the top or bottom of a document, or the end or beginning of a sentence. The backspace key is just slightly farther... Read more

Fast, easy to use and no management headaches. Excellent product. I think ChromeOs fills a much needed niche in today's computer industry landscape.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic first try, August 29, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Samsung Series 5 Wi-Fi 12.1-Inch Chromebook (Titan Silver) (Personal Computers)
Basically I love it and two of us in the household are using Chromebooks as our main computers. I got exactly what I asked for and it was worth the wait. The Chromebook works exactly as advertised. Most places locally have access to a WiFi network or I use my Nexus 1 as a wireless hotspot so this is not an issue. I use my Chromebook to access the servers at work and I perform all my personal work with ease. Major downside is the processor is too slow for games on G+ with our local anemic broadband network speed. The track pad took getting used too.
