The Best

Samsung Chromebook Pro

Top Pro

High quality display

•••
The display is top notch and has a surprisingly excellent resolution (2400x1600), making the image quality very sharp. Brightness levels on the glossy screen are ideal too. With 400 nits of brightness, it’s even brighter than some powerful full-fledged laptops.

Top Pro

Stylus support

•••
The pen is small and works with great precision on the display. It can be stored in the device, giving the pen a designated place to stay while not in use. It also doesn't require batteries to use.

Decent battery life

•••
On a full charge, the battery lasts about 8 or 9 hours of intensive use, even when keeping the screen at 60-80% brightness.

Very portable

•••
It’s very slim and light for a Chromebook (2.38 pounds) which means that you can carry it in a backpack and not even feel it.

Top Pro

Great performance

•••
The Samsung Chromebook Pro is equipped with an Intel Core m3 processor, 32GB of eMMC storage, and 4GB of RAM. That’s plenty of powers for common tasks such as web browsing, editing documents, and multitasking. Most people will probably find the performance that this Chromebook offers adequate.

Top Pro

Good touchpad

•••
The touchpad is rather wide (4.1x2.9 inches) and supports multi-finger actions such as: zooming in/out, dragging, etc. The surface is solid and oil resistant, as well. It's also pretty accurate and responsive 99% of the time.

Works well with Android apps

•••
The stylus and the glossy display are ideal for Android apps. The screen makes the games, and other apps look beautiful while the pen allows using apps with a different approach. Google Play Store itself runs without slowdowns; therefore app browsing is quite enjoyable.

Top Con

Audio could be better

•••
The speakers are located on the bottom corners of the laptop and aren’t optimized properly. When used in Laptop mode and placed on a solid surface like a table, the sound mumbles and becomes quiet. It does get better when the Chromebook is positioned in Tent mode, but apart from that sound can be...

Top Con

Sensitive keyboard

•••
Keys on this keyboard are rubbery and very sensitive which makes it prone to typing errors more often than usual.

2 Other Options Considered

Asus Chromebook Flip

Top Pro

Great display

•••
The Chromebook flip has a great 1080p display with good viewing angles. It's also quite bright at around 300 nits of brightness which makes it a decent choice for working outdoors.
Izem Lavrenti
Top Pro

Great performance for a Chromebook

•••
The Chromebook Flip has durable high-quality hardware including a high-end Intel core m3-6Y30 processor and 4GB RAM. This ensures that the Chromebook Flip is far ahead of competitors who mostly use older hardware or smaller RAM.
Izem Lavrenti
Top Pro

Great build quality

•••
The whole chassis is made out of sturdy silver aluminium while the lid is covered with a double-layer impact resistant glass. The resistant glass protects the cover from tear and damage which makes the product more durable.
Izem Lavrenti
Top Pro

Supports Android apps

•••
The Asus Chromebook Flip supports Android Apps which can be directly installed from the Play Store.
Izem Lavrenti
Top Pro

Versatile

•••
Has a firm, 360-degree bendable lid with sturdy, not too wobbly hinges and the 2.5-pound lightweight base makes this Chromebook very portable. You can also turn the screen and use the laptop in three different "standing" modes (laptop, stand, tent, tablet) where the last three modes com...

Great keyboard

•••
The Chromebook Flip has a backlit keyboard which is a rarity among Chromebooks. The keyboard itself is pretty good as well. The keys have decent travel length and the keyboard feels very comfortable when typing even for long periods of time.
Izem Lavrenti
Top Con

Battery life could be better

•••
Battery life is limited to 6-7 hours while actively surfing the web and leaving the brightness at 75%, which is decent but not the best battery life as far a Chromebooks go.
Izem Lavrenti
Top Con

Terrible webcam

•••
The plainly bad 0.9-megapixel webcam produces grainy images and leaves some background colors behind and is unable to have a real focus.
Izem Lavrenti
Top Con

Pricey

•••
Good hardware performance, smooth design, and crisp image quality come with a high price-tag, making this Chromebook slightly expensive.
