From someone who has a samsung chromebook 4. It is worth the price. Ive had it since april 2021 and its lasted great. It cant handle gaming for periouds of time but generally is good. Has good speaker, small, can fit in laptop sleeves easily, secure, and more. Very customisable and overall a good laptop. Hope this helped!
I'm just getting it for school work . I think humans are too picky especially when it comes to materialistic things . But hey that's not me I just want something to last and be durable . I'll laptop search this weekend at Best Buy
Ok so it’s been 1 month after I bought a used chrome book and as a college student it’s been doing what it should if all you need to do is homework, works good 👍 I would buy again
The TN panel is definitely not the worst I have ever seen. I love this laptop because it looks great and is very light for a 15.6" laptop. I replaced the TN panel with an IPS glossy screen from Amazon for $90 (the IPS matte screen is about $65). Extremely simple to replace and took me about 10mins). Now, I definitely can do photography works on this chromebook.
I'm mechanic and inclined to pay wireless wizard to work on it, could I do this I'll buy what tools required though I would ask for link as well thanks guy I'm sure I'm not the only one that has the same idea just not the info ty mj
I got one just because I needed to get something regarding my taxes done and didn’t want to invest in a laptop and this one is enough it works very well
@Brenden Gonzalez if you dont mind me bothering you how do you like it now that youve had it a while ? Thinking about buying one before i start school this month.
@Brenden Gonzalez Hello there! I'm planning on buying it for office work. I find my Windows lap kinda bulky to carry around. Do you think this will meet my requirement? Can I run Microsoft office apps just like the windows ones? Any pros and cons I need to know of? Sorry if I'm being inquisitive :)
@@lingth Thanks for replying my friend. I actually watched multiple videos on how to use MS office apps on Chromebooks offline and figured it would be fit for my need :)
It is actually pretty fast for the price,as for the speakers you can install sound enhancing apps.The screen is ok as long as its viewed straight on,as far as build quality is concerned, its decent for the price.
Bought this for my child to use for online schooling. It worked pretty good and had very little " Hiccups". Only 2 problems that I really saw. First was that it slowed down when you ran a few demanding programs at once. for example the Chromebook would have trouble running when zoom was running and the teacher would have the kids run brian pop jr while working on a word document. The other problem was that the screen is always dark even thought the brightness was all the way up. Also you can never find a good view with the screen in any position. The screen is much bigger than the school Chromebook which is way better for the eyes. In my opinion this Chromebook was still way better than the school provided Chromebook. I would give it a 6/7 out of 10.
I have one of these and it is completely fine regarding it beeing "mushy", as long as you use it as a normal human being, no one's gonna press down on a laptop like that or type that f hard...
I purchased one for me with 128gb and for my daughter the 32gb. She has a Mac Book but used mine and wanted one just to take to school. I absolutely love mine. He is correct in that the speakers and the sweet spot for viewing. I take care of that with the volume master app or my Bose speakers. As far as the sweet spot I just adjust it for viewing. It does what I need it to do. It was about $400 for mine and $300 for my daughter's. I don't agree with this review because it's biased. Go get it. You won't be disappointed. Please note that this is not the computer for gaming. This is best for school work, paying bills, doing your taxes and streaming TV. I love mine.
How is that review biased? A few months ago,, I bought an Acer Spin 713 for $332 for my father. It has 64gb and an i3 processor, and a 2k screen with 3:2 ratio. I got one for my mother that is an i5 with 256gb. That one cost me $440. Between that and the 4+ with the TM screen, they're not even in the same hemisphere. $300-$400 is a LOT to pay for a chromebook with those specs and screen. The issues and compromises would all be manageable for the $200 range, but $400 is considered the premium tier of chromebooks and the 4+ has only entry level specs.
Target just had these on sale for $79. (11" w/ 32gb storage) I picked one up to use for web browsing and streaming at home. The bigger screen is easier on my eyes than a phone.
@@pmshea63 if you can get it on the cheap, absolutely! I saw Target had it back in stock for like $249 or something crazy. Personally, I would NOT pay a penny over $100 for it. It works just fine for simple tasks, but anything above and beyond takes a lifetime. I've been using it for about 3 weeks now. The screen is bottom of the barrel. It works, but the quality of the picture is subpar at best. It is super light and portable and the battery lasts forever! Considering you are only doing menial tasks on this, I guess long battery life should be expected. Let me know if you have any specific questions! I'm happy to help.
Just bought a Lenovo IdeaPad 3 with 8gb of RAM and a intel celeron 4020 for 329eu (which is insane here in the Netherlands, most ultrabooks here are 1000eu+) Used to code in arch linux on ultrabooks but battery life was always meh and have been coding mostly in c/c++ and python lately so after my old ultrabook was getting slow and battery getting even worse for the second time I decided to try a chromebook. Must say I am very impressed. The battery life is just amazing. I can easily work the whole day and never even have to worry about charging. And the linux support works great (prolly because both based on debian) It's amazing.
Purchasing my Chromebook Plus was by far the best ever decision I have ever made. Yet Ever after the 1st gen Chromebook Plus and Pro, there just has not been a Chromebook (at a mid-lower price range) with the type of specs and design that suit me (2k+ 12-14 inch touch screen, super thin design and a 500-ish price tag). Wish Samsung could bring back the Chromebook Plus and Pro.
I got this just so I can have a device to write books from anywhere, have a much better laptop but its trackpad isn't working and is effectively a desktop. Sounds like it'll get me where I need to go, don't need anything crazy
I just got one as a freebie with a phone contract. I am happy with everything except the screen. Really not used to having to look at such a washed out and fuzzy screen. I kept thinking that something was wrong with it.
Just got a used one in good condition for $50 for homework, it’s super lightweight and small, I’m not trying to download stuff on it but only for school purposes
When my man started twisting the Keyboard at the start that was it for me 🤣. I feel sorry for non tech savvy people getting duped into spending hard earned money buying sub par devices.
They are measurably slower, IMO because of several things. Not in any order: Drive access time, Chrome OS footprint and feature expansion, Docs codes expansion, and any enabled Accessibility features, especially Voice input and the ASSistant. (Accessibility for the keyboarding-impaired). I noticed the first large performance reduction in overall Chromebook performance came immediately after the Dec 2019 update, the next one when the brainless "ASSistant" was integrated. I got some performance back by disabling OK Google and more by progressively shutting off preferred input (voice), related information and finally switching off the Assistant entirely. It would not be so frustrating if the Chrome OS ASSistant worked as well as the Google Home Mini ASSistant, if either worked as well as the same exact question is entered as speech-to-text into the Chrome browser Omnibox and the first listed search response is chosen. These are obviously three different "products" that MIGHT share some code and a all far, far from being reliable and useful if you have a +500 word business and tech vocabulary. The question is whether the slight improvements in convenience are worth the slowdown you experience. If not, be aware that every open tab, app or window will slow the machine. Using a not-default mouse cursor size can lower performance so can enabling any experimental flags you see recommended in blogs. Under Android developer apps, lowering the Animator duration scale from 1 or 0.5 or disabling system-wide night mode can speed up Android apps. Having multiple Desktops open or using tab groups WILL slow Docs performance; it's better to use save open tabs as bookmarks and open a new window only when actually needed.
I have a Samsung 4 and I love this laptop. I think you just have a lot of picky people. It's very affordable and I think the quality of the laptop is nice. People will have their opinions about the laptop but I say don't listen to just anyone and just try it for yourself because you will be missing out just because a person does not agree with it.
I bought this for my daughter’s distance learning. It works well enough for that reason alone. But the screen. The screen. The screen. It is too washed out for media viewing.
With laptop PCs screen is where smaller is usually better, especially for a given price-point for a machine I needed to use for hours at a time on my lap or portably, I would choose an 11" IPS screen over any larger TN/TF display. If I also needed to use it stationary at a fixed location desktop, I'd get a larger external monitor and possibly a keyboard - they are THAT much better and they will outlast multiple laptops.
Hey, I'm not a computer geek. I'm older. I bought a Chromebook to avoid Microsoft problems. Well I got into mirroring with my two year old Samsung chromebook. A budget model. After a week of trying to mirror this thing, I figured out how. Why Samsung didn't put hdmi in this thing is beyond me. So, now this thing with only two USB ports, the one that charges the battery also does the mirroring. Only one problem. I can't mirror for long because the battery dies. Thank you Samsung. You really had us budget people in mind. All I use a laptop and tablet for is simple surfing and emailing. Not much else but also as a TV. Pluto is great, and doesn't cost. Dishtv you dropped the ball. So, this is my second Chromebook. My first was an Acer. The keyboard died too soon so I bought Samsung this time, when Google stopped supporting it. Bummer. Oh well. I understand Google has to make money. Hey Google send some my way. I might be able to buy more Google services and products. How do people buy things without a job and money Congress, and Joe Biden? You throw money at the rich people, and not the people who support and keep the economy going. This makes no sense to me. Well, thank you Samsung, for no hdmi, and forgetting about us budget people. This is probably be my last Samsung chromebook. I believe I'll buy a used one next time possibly and gamble on it working without being supported. Oh well. One does what one has to do, beecause they have no other choice. George Carlin was right. Don't vote! F--k 'em, especialy when they fix the elections. Trump won and we all know it. Now they are trying to keep him from running again. I'm wondering why he's even bothering. Support AI and put them all out of business.
I`d think its safe too say the chrome book in the the video would be an ideal upgrade from my Lenovo 11e chrome book and I even tried out a 2011 Mac book air it was indeed better than my 11e chrome book by lenovo but slowed down due too being unsupported and staying on mac os high Serria, great video and thanks for the info I am more moved too buy the samsung chrome book 4
i got it for my 65 year old mother, her old laptop is apiece of shit missing keys...full of viruses, i figured this would be a good upgrade that wont break the bank for her to ruin. i wont be upset about losing $220 so long it last her for a few years.
I got this for my mom so she can learn to use a laptop, nice entry level for her, she really doesn’t do anything online but this is a good way to start
Hi there , I recently bought one of these from a refurbish store to use as my daily unit. Long story short, I had to donate my own laptop to my daughter as she needed a windows unit for her school/college unit and get a replacement. As cost was an issue this seemed a good idea as it only cost me £92. Thus far I am impressed as I only need it for streaming, light document and cloud based work. I have a quick question though : In your opinion, would online office 365 or Google Docs be best to use on this device ? Many thanks and keep up the very excellent work.
All I want is a backup for my 11 year old Acer desktop,so if it goes down,I can check my email,etc. The ports would be handy to attach a mouse and real keyboard. I HATE laptop keyboards!
Really want and looking for a used Thinkpad T490 for linux. Not sure how the covid crisis demand effects the Thinkpad lineup market (??). Should I wait?
I just got of these. I wish the screen was a bit better but otherwise it’s amazing! After installing Linux using a it’s built in VM it’s surprising I can actually do real work on it.
Hi, I am new to your Chanel and I really appreciate all your videos. If by any chance you can do a Review of the CTL NL 81T HD 14" I know right now it's only Pre-order at $379 with great promising features. Thank you for the very good Infos.
Hey guys this Chromebook is actually a pretty decent Chromebook you can play asphalt 9 if you want to play game on it and it runs asphalt 9 just fine mine was under $300 it was a $200 laptop and it ran pretty good for that price
I looked at several reviews and bought a Samsung. Its a few months old and it loses Wi-fi connection quite often, and no its not the router or other problems, its a hardware issue, and i am quite disappointed, cuz my ASUS was flawless for years until i dropped it :(
I just purchased a version built in April of 2023. I have tried to replicate the flex of the chassis shown in the video but just get a slight flex but nothing like this. Wondering if over 3 years Samsung went and reinforced the bottom chassis. Anyone have ideas on this?
I had an acer 11” chrome-book in 2015 that I used for community college cause everything was google docs. I still had a macbook but used it more for work. The acer chrome-book I had was so cheap it was $159 from best buy. It had a 1080 screen great build and display. I even had the HP 11” model that was white I switched to an it was amazing. Idk wtf happened with chromebooks there more expensive and built like crap now. You can find a macbook used for $400 and call it a day.
Are the speakers only on the bottom? It looks that way in your video. I ask bc I usually watch movies in bed and if the speakers are only on the bottom, I imagine the bed would totally muffle them.
I bought a couple netbooks during the years of 2009-2011. Everyone hates on them. Yet here they are again, just with a new name and a different OS! 1.5-2gb ram with an Intel Atom?! RIP Netbooks, hello Chromebooks! Also a Raspberry Pi 4 has 2/4/8gb and a multi core ARM CPU. I bought a 4gb Pi 4 last year for 49.99 (99.99 with the kit including cables, SD card, etc). This Chromebook, the 4gb, currently goes for 229.99. Granted it's a bittttt (ok a GOOD bit) more portable, but at 1/2-1/4 the cost.... FYI I just got this Chromebook, the 4gb version, for free from Verizon. My biggest gripes so far are the TERRIBLE TRACK PAD, and bad keyboard (I'm a 100+ wom typist). Trying to figure out how to put an better distro of Linux on here aside from Chrome OS. I'd I can figure that out I'll get some decent use out of it .
You're such an awesome guy! Love this channel and love the way you talk tech and explain everything in crystal clear terms. Please keep this up for as long as you can.
Ya, the flex in the body and the visible space when pushing down on the trackpad (original open-boxing) was not too good. I'll stick with my HP x360 14 from January 2109. :)
I once had a 15" Gaming Laptop with TN screen. 🤮Never again. I can live with cheap build quality and everything else cheap as long as the price is right. But I'll never again compromise on screen. I need to see what I'm looking at and not have it completely washed out the moment I move my head 1" to left or right and always fiddling with screen tilt to try and get the best colors. 🤮
Is this ok for a young teen for school work ? as a friends wants one i asked what is there limit they said £250, let me know people, or any better alternatives for the £250 price.
i've been thinking about buying this model of samsung chromebooks though i think this is not available here in philippines, can you suggest where can i buy online?
Can I do live google classroom with joining video and do tasks on it for my girl .. it’s main thing I concern to get one Samsung and sometimes use it for browsing I guess all Chromebook links to internet basic uses but does it function slow or badly slow

Thank you so much I’m looking at this for my collage kid and I think I’m going with this Option now thank you !!
Your performance in all reviews good and the best
I got a Samsung Chromebook 4 for only about $130. It is worth it. My first Chromebook.
For $200 right now I'm picking it up tomorrow
i got it for my 65 year old mother, her old laptop is apiece of shit missing keys...full of viruses, i figured this would be a good upgrade that wont break the bank for her to ruin. i wont be upset about losing $220 so long it last her for a few years.
I got this for my mom so she can learn to use a laptop, nice entry level for her, she really doesn’t do anything online but this is a good way to start
i just bought mine. my old macbook from 2013 died and i have a project due AHHHHH it was an emergency
It is not dead, most likely. Don't throw it away.
Hi there , I recently bought one of these from a refurbish store to use as my daily unit. Long story short, I had to donate my own laptop to my daughter as she needed a windows unit for her school/college unit and get a replacement. As cost was an issue this seemed a good idea as it only cost me £92. Thus far I am impressed as I only need it for streaming, light document and cloud based work. I have a quick question though : In your opinion, would online office 365 or Google Docs be best to use on this device ? Many thanks and keep up the very excellent work.
I'm sure you figured it out, but I would say probably docs because it chrome based
All I want is a backup for my 11 year old Acer desktop,so if it goes down,I can check my email,etc. The ports would be handy to attach a mouse and real keyboard. I HATE laptop keyboards!
There was no mention of the Web cam or built-in camera. There's a lot of Zoom in my life so I'm just wondering.
We use Lenovo Thinkpad Chromebooks back at work. Awesome device.
Really want and looking for a used Thinkpad T490 for linux. Not sure how the covid crisis demand effects the Thinkpad lineup market (??). Should I wait?
@@BriO853 if it's a good deal, by all means, get it.
I just got of these. I wish the screen was a bit better but otherwise it’s amazing! After installing Linux using a it’s built in VM it’s surprising I can actually do real work on it.
Are you planning to review Samsung Chromebook 4? I wonder if the build quality is as bad as 4+
Hi, thanks for the review. If this one and Samsung Chromebook Go will cost the same, which one would you recommend?
Really enjoyed this review. Better than the rest.
Hi, I am new to your Chanel and I really appreciate all your videos. If by any chance you can do a Review of the CTL NL 81T HD 14" I know right now it's only Pre-order at $379 with great promising features. Thank you for the very good Infos.
Would you recommend anything over this at this price point?
I'm using the new Acer 315 chromebook and because its similar with this one I would like to see a review of that as well! Cheers
If you already have a product why do you need someone else to review it?
@@psdaengr911 Well to see how they compare because of their mid-range price and specs
Does the acer chromebook 315 support 64-bit?
Hey guys this Chromebook is actually a pretty decent Chromebook you can play asphalt 9 if you want to play game on it and it runs asphalt 9 just fine mine was under $300 it was a $200 laptop and it ran pretty good for that price
Acer R13 sub $300 1080p IPS screen with great build quality and runs great.
The R11/Spins are even better.
Great Video! Earnest review that comes off me wanting me to return to Chrome Unboxed~!!
I looked at several reviews and bought a Samsung. Its a few months old and it loses Wi-fi connection quite often, and no its not the router or other problems, its a hardware issue, and i am quite disappointed, cuz my ASUS was flawless for years until i dropped it :(
I just purchased a version built in April of 2023. I have tried to replicate the flex of the chassis shown in the video but just get a slight flex but nothing like this. Wondering if over 3 years Samsung went and reinforced the bottom chassis. Anyone have ideas on this?
what Batman game were you playing? Graphics looked great
I had an acer 11” chrome-book in 2015 that I used for community college cause everything was google docs. I still had a macbook but used it more for work. The acer chrome-book I had was so cheap it was $159 from best buy. It had a 1080 screen great build and display. I even had the HP 11” model that was white I switched to an it was amazing. Idk wtf happened with chromebooks there more expensive and built like crap now. You can find a macbook used for $400 and call it a day.
What do you have planned for the chrome book?? Will it do what I need? That’s it..
Are the speakers only on the bottom? It looks that way in your video. I ask bc I usually watch movies in bed and if the speakers are only on the bottom, I imagine the bed would totally muffle them.
Just got one for $64 new on ebay
Would you be able to run games on it? Like LoL or maybe valorant?
Valorant on a Celeron not really. minecraft Roblox Stardew valley yes try games like that
I bought a couple netbooks during the years of 2009-2011. Everyone hates on them. Yet here they are again, just with a new name and a different OS! 1.5-2gb ram with an Intel Atom?! RIP Netbooks, hello Chromebooks!
Also a Raspberry Pi 4 has 2/4/8gb and a multi core ARM CPU. I bought a 4gb Pi 4 last year for 49.99 (99.99 with the kit including cables, SD card, etc). This Chromebook, the 4gb, currently goes for 229.99. Granted it's a bittttt (ok a GOOD bit) more portable, but at 1/2-1/4 the cost....
FYI I just got this Chromebook, the 4gb version, for free from Verizon. My biggest gripes so far are the TERRIBLE TRACK PAD, and bad keyboard (I'm a 100+ wom typist).
Trying to figure out how to put an better distro of Linux on here aside from Chrome OS. I'd I can figure that out I'll get some decent use out of it .
Thank you for this review. I just need a computer for writing that has a webcam ❤
You're such an awesome guy! Love this channel and love the way you talk tech and explain everything in crystal clear terms. Please keep this up for as long as you can.
Can we use window 10 on samsung chromebook 4 plus ? If so, how does it work ?
The built quality is cheap. The screen is 🤮. It's a no for me dawg
Ya, the flex in the body and the visible space when pushing down on the trackpad (original open-boxing) was not too good. I'll stick with my HP x360 14 from January 2109. :)
@@Stephen_A. I wonder if manufacturer's will still get away with having retail space of Chromebooks with the Celeron N3350 in 2109.
@@erzascralet48 I hope not. 🙂
I once had a 15" Gaming Laptop with TN screen. 🤮Never again. I can live with cheap build quality and everything else cheap as long as the price is right. But I'll never again compromise on screen. I need to see what I'm looking at and not have it completely washed out the moment I move my head 1" to left or right and always fiddling with screen tilt to try and get the best colors. 🤮
@@Fpsnut I hear ya on that !

Is this ok for a young teen for school work ? as a friends wants one i asked what is there limit they said £250, let me know people, or any better alternatives for the £250 price.
Samsungs website says the 64 GB option has 6 GB of RAM. Is this a newer version of what you reviewed or is there an error in the amount of RAM stated?
I'm assuming yes but they might have just made 2 for some reason
Now free with selected Samsung phones.
