Review on 💻 Samsung Chromebook 2 XE500C12-K01US 11.6 Inch Laptop - Intel Celeron, 2 GB RAM, 16 GB SSD - Stylish Silver for Enhanced Performance and Portability by Matt Lewis

I prefer this Chromebook because it has an Intel processor, so you have a few more choices about what you can do with it. The speed is great, even with 5 tabs open. I tested installing Linux on it to expand the possibilities and it worked great. I highly recommend it. I haven't tried playing on it, but with Ubuntu installed you can even play Minecraft on it. Expandable storage and free 100GB Google Drive storage make the built-in 16GB limit irrelevant when using a computer. I also get a lot of value between this and my Chromecast for streaming to the TV from YouTube, Netflix, etc. Of all the Chromebooks I've reviewed, this is one of the cheapest and most feature-packed in this price range. Pros: - Great battery life - Lots of storage options - Works great with Chromecast - Expandable with Linux - Lots of apps to choose from in the Chrome Store - Much more useful than just browsing the web - Robust and well-made body - 2 USB slots and one HDMI slot -Micro SD slot (I'm using a 32GB card) - Full size keyboard - Multi-touch touchpad with lots of gestures - Easy full erase to start fresh and/or change OSCons: - Probably not good for Gaming - Stuck on the internet - MS Office and Mac versions of iWorks - using only Chrome OS without an internet connection is practically useless - the case style makes it less durable than it really is.
