Review on 11.6" Notebook Samsung XE303C12 (1366x768, Samsung Exynos 5 1.7 GHz, RAM 2 GB, SSD 16 GB, Chrome OS) by Bogdan Bogdanov ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A high-quality product, the price corresponds to the quality.

For twelve thousand, I don't need anything else; I'm content as an elephant. In addition, there is no reason to pay an excessive amount for power that is not required and other luxuries that are either unused or utilized infrequently. Only web browsing or control from a remote location, such as via SSH. When you also take into account the fact that Linux can be installed on it as a secondary operating system, you end up with a fully functional lightweight machine that uses a processor other than x86. The benefits of it include: Sound of a high-quality, despite its light weight, absence of noise, and comfortable temperature. The battery is able to last for a significant amount of time. When I was lying down on the couch, I had the impression that 11.6 would not be sufficient, but this was not the case. I did forget to mention that it is still lovely, and it feels wonderful to hold in your hands. Having these drawbacks: There is not much software, and the screen quality is not great, but it is adequate (especially considering the price). The standard player is unable to read several video file formats. There are no shortcut keys such as "Page Up" or any of the other common ones. Alt-Shift language switching, the user has not yet discovered how to alter this setting. It seems remarkable that a netbook that is entirely reliant on the network does not include a 3G modem, despite the fact that there is a space for a SIM card. There is no Skype, and standard kosher ICQ is not available. In addition, I have not been successful in locating an alternative email client that is compatible with Gmail.
