Silver Samsung XE500C12-K01US 11.6 Inches Laptop Review

Samsung Chromebook 2 XE500C12-K01US 11.6-Inch (Silver)

The Samsung XE500C12-K01US laptop is a notebook computer, great for use as a personal computer. It comes with an average size 11.6 Inches display and a decent 2.16 GHz Intel Celeron CPU processor. This Samsung laptop model would work well for portability with its 2.6 Pounds lightweight design and sleek silver look. Great for school work or the family computer, this laptop is worth the price of $287.

This Samsung XE500C12-K01US laptop is a mid level computer that is great for your every day home computer needs including watching movies online such as Netflix, visiting social media networks like Facebook and be able to communicate with friends and family online through programs such as Skype and much more! However, if you are looking for a laptop with a spacious hard drive to store your files, we would not recommend the Samsung Chromebook 2 XE500C12-K01US 11.6-Inch Silver. Whether you need to write your term paper, catch up on work or create the family budget, this Samsung XE500C12-K01US mobile laptop allows you to multitask with 2 GB DDR3L SDRAM and a mid level processor 2.16 GHz Intel Celeron. Though if possible, we do recommend upgrading the system memory down the road to at least 4GB, which will help increase the laptop speed and multi-tasking abilities.

The Chromebook 2 achieves simple perfection starting with its premium design. The leather-like cover is richly textured, upgrading its slim and sleek design further. Even more impressive is how productive it is. Its HD resolution screen, optimized video conferencing, and enhanced processor enable...Click Here To Read More & Get Latest Offers

5.0 out of 5 stars A great Chromebook choice (but there are other brand new models that are better and the same price!), October 27, 2014

A decent Chomebook for sure, but there are better options out there. First, let me review this and then I'll tell you about a couple others to look into. First of all, this is Samsung's newest released Chromebook and it packs some decent power, RAM, and hard drive space, but nothing extraordinary that you can't find on other newly released Chromebooks.

PROCESSOR:

Like many Chromebooks being released, this one is still using the Intel Celeron 2.16 GHz dual-core processor. It's a decent processor and there's no doubt it will handle everything you need it to, however, it is starting to become outdated, especially when you compare it to Acer's new Chromebook which offers the NVIDIA Tegra K1 Quad Core 2.1 GHz Processor. HUGE difference in processing power. That said, even though Acer is currently leading the way for other Chromebook manufacturers, you can't go wrong with the Celeron processors as this is a Chromebook, not a full Windows running laptop...

5.0 out of 5 stars Getting Used to the Track Pad, November 13, 2014

Vine Customer Review of Free Product (What's this?)
My husband is a tremendously picky, die-hard Mac user. He spent some time with this Samsung Chromebook 2 and ended up being very impressed. It's very stylish--the silver cover has a textured leather look, complete with a "seam" trim. The 11.6" HD screen is very sharp and "non-glare"--unlike the overly reflective shine of our Mac.

Since we already have a google account (guest log-in is possible, but is highly restrictive), it was very easy to login. We could then access a number of features that allowed us to personalize the computer, take photos with the camera, create documents/spreadsheets/slides, retrieve additional apps...In many ways, the set-up reminded us of a big Android Pad with an additional built-in keyboard.

The Samsung Chromebook 2 has no disk drive, making it very light and portable. For this reason, my husband prefers using it to quickly get online and walk around the house using our Wi-Fi. The speed is there--this Chromebook... Read more

This review is from: Samsung Chromebook 2 XE500C12-K01US 11.6-Inch (Silver) (Personal Computers)
I was extremely hesitant to buy a Chromebook because I wasn't familiar with the Chrome operating system. I researched diligently and then decided I would take a risk and purchase one. I have a laptop but it is big and bulky. I only use it at home while I use a desktop at my office. I am an attorney and I go to court on a daily basis. I needed something that I could type in the judge's orders quickly. I travel from one courtroom to another constantly all day. I also needed something that was lightweight and quick to boot up. I had tried using my Samsung Galaxy tablet but it really didn't work for me. I didn't like having to connect a keyboard and I don't type quick enough with the virtual keyboard. I guess I am old school and need a regular keyboard. My laptop was too big and heavy. I work for a nonprofit agency and couldn't afford a new laptop. So, I purchased the Samsung Chromebook 2. I absolutely love it.

First, it is so lightweight and sleek. I can carry... Read more
