Black Samsung XE503C12-K01US 11.6 inches Laptop Review

Samsung Chromebook 2 (11.6-Inch, Jet Black)

The Samsung XE503C12-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 1.9 GHz Exynos 5 Octa 5420 CPU processor. This Samsung laptop model would work well for portability with its 2.6 pounds lightweight design and sleek black look. Great for school work or the family computer, this laptop is worth the price of $319.

5.0 out of 5 stars A solid upgrade from the last generation of Chromebook models, May 15, 2014

This review is from: Samsung Chromebook 2 (11.6-Inch, Jet Black) (Personal Computers)
Finally received my Samsung Chromebook 2 (11.6" version, jet black color) and have had a day to get it set up, mess around with it, and compare it to my Acer C720 Chromebook (2GB), as well as my previous experiences with the original Samsung Chromebook that was released back in 2012. My initial up front experience is that I am overall very satisfied with the improvements that Samsung has made! There are some areas I wish they improved, but overall for the price, this is an outstanding way to experience the Chrome OS. I'll touch on a few of my in-depth thoughts below, and I'll update this all in the future as I have more experience with the device. I'm going to focus more on the hardware... Read more

Vine Customer Review of Free Product (What's this?)
I wasn't sure about Chrome OS. I mean, when it's described you get a sort of "meh" reaction. "So it's all in the browser? It requires being online? It can't run Windows, Android, Mac, or Linux programs?" is what pops to mind. I was in this camp, too. I didn't think a laptop that relies on cloud-based services for 80% of what it does could be useful. Boy, was I wrong!

First, though, I'll say a bit about the hardware: Sexy. I know the faux leather top is just a sort of foamy plastic, but it looks and feels nice. The laptop is slim, sleek, quiet, cool, and fast. It boots up faster than anything I've ever owned, save for Android or iOS tablets. The dual USB ports, micro SD card slot (yes, micro, because so few new electronics are bothering with full-sized SD cards anymore), and HDMI port are all nice additions to round out this sleek laptop experience.

The keyboard is especially nice. I'm a writer, and to me the quality of a keyboard is important in a... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars The best laptop for 90 percent of computer users! from a Mac guy's perspective, September 18, 2014
By 
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I've been curious about Chromebook for a while, but finally took the plunge and got the Samsung Chromebook 2 after several weeks researching. A bit of gripe: FedEx did a terrible job of delivery, seemed like my Chromebook traveled all around the US before getting to me a full 3 days after Prime expected delivery date. The Samsung Chromebook 2 seems to have it all: powerful processor, more memory (4GB vs. 2GB on other brands) and new design.

I won't go through the technical details or features here; you could read them from the website description.

After using the Chromebook for a couple of days, all I can say is: I SO LOVED IT! The machine is fast, dead silent and does just about 80 percent of all the things I would use a laptop for daily. And I am a Mac and iPhone/iPad app developer guy; I have 2 MacBook Pros and all the I devices. My guess is for 90 percent of computer users, this is all you ever need and more. The machine is beautiful, light and supports... Read more
