Samsung Chromebook 2

Samsung Chromebook 2 XE500C12


Samsung Chromebook

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 it in my briefcase or my handbag with ease. It is also so quiet. With no fan necessary, it makes no sound other than when I am typing. The keyboard is fantastic. Just like a regular laptop keyboard. It has a good feel and is extremely easy for me to type on. I work on a floor in the courthouse that has WiFi access so I connect it when I arrive. Very easy. I type my notes on Google Documents and don't even have to push a button to save what I am typing. It saves everything automatically. I can just close chromebook and move quickly to my next case, open it back up and begin typing again either in a new document or the same one. I can check my emails and open any attachments. I had worried about not having a Microsoft system but I haven't missed it at all. You can download compatible apps that easily open up all of your attachments. When I need to quickly look up something on the internet, this thing is way faster than my laptop or my desktop.



I use it at home constantly also. I keep it on the coffee table and can look up anything I need to in a flash. My kids adore using it too and have downloaded some games but mainly they use it to access Netflix and Youtube. This is a great alternative if you have limited funds and need something lightweight and fast. I love it.
