Solid product - Perfect for Chrome OS

The Chromebook is handy and easy, making it highly portable.
The low weight and compact format did not fall on the backpack.
Anyone who wants to protect the plastic casing of Chromebooks from scratches, rather lies down to a Case. Lose in the backpack is the plastic surface that is very prone to scratching, this is true but for most laptops.
The housing can be pressed at many points and bend. While this is not uncommon for computers on the Ultrabook format, here it gives nevertheless the impression that they are toys.
Except for the headphone jack and the SD card slot, all ports are located on the back of Chromebooks. The processing is sufficient, the USB ports are, however, worrying hot during intensive use.
Pocketed SD cards look out a bit on the side.
The Speaker, on the bottom side, are very quiet and override quickly.
Since most smartphones offer a better sound.

The sobering picture that has the exterior of Samsung product is, but made up for by the display, keyboard and ClickPad. Here trumps the Chromebook.
The matte display can be adjusted very light and allows you to work outdoors even in direct sunlight.
The keyboard has a very pleasant pressure point and makes the Chickletstyle layout looks very impressive. As for the typing noise, makes the Chromebook among other MacBook keyboards are left, since the keyboard is in Verlgeich very quiet.
A backlight there is unfortunately not.
The ClickPad can be very good use, but is in contrast to the keyboard with physical clicks relatively loud.
Multi-finger gestures to jump back and forth in Chrome or window overview are actually implemented, but work is not all too liquid.
The built-in webcam comes with standard laptops difficulties when it comes to the transfer of dark places, as is in fact very little to see.
This is the sound that transmits the built-in microphone, good.

The processor is sufficient for surfing and lyrics writing from. With Hangouts he comes up against its limits and opening huge PDF files you wait in vain.
Lucky is the new Samsung Chromebook 2 with Octacore processor at the door.
Very do not get the 16 GB internal memory, of course, available. Using a USB stick, which almost completely disappears in the slot and can be had for very little money today, the memory can but easily expand up to 32 GB.
The battery lasts an average of 6 hours. In Drive applications and custom screen brightness even up to 8 hours. In operation, the battery is charged to 100% after 2 hours again.
The biggest advantage definitely deserves the volume level of the Chromebooks, except the already quiet keyboard sounds are the Laptop namely absolutely no sound itself.
Practically with SSD storage and fanless will be no noise emissions, which in the bed or in the library is super pleasant evening.

The 3G module, the UMTS variant works very well, who often is no wireless network, here a piece buys additional mobility.

Conclusion:
At the end of the day the toy flair of the Samsung Chromebook is definitely gone.
A small, lightweight companion that the Chromebook is with fast boot-up and wake-up times and long battery life throughout the day is willing to take on the small tasks. All too much is due to the low processor power unfortunately not yet possible.
