Overpriced, right? However considering the software is web based and its only 12" Screen is this Chrome book over priced?

This isn't Google's product, it's Samsung's. That said, the price is within range of other Chromebooks.

I own that computer, buy it! If you don't like it you can sell it for about double that. It's pretty cool though, and nice and small if you travel.

It's tiny and has a learning/adapt curve to it. The system settings are already set high, and still tiny. The problem i have is hitting the tiny tab x in chrome browser. You can scale up the browsers settings but you lose the default website integrity.

Good website. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. I will probably go with the first one an get the software if needed. good advice. The new one looks pretty, gut I don't spend money if there isn't enough upgrade to justify the added espense.

Seems a ridiculously high price for the dock and keyboard not be be included, if it was I would have bought it but the current spec says optional extra which means who knows how much more for the keyboard and dock....how disappointing....can't even find any link for the keyboard and dock at the moment to find out how much more they want for those.Also, am bemused as to the product description stating it has full pc capabilities offering all the features of a laptop - if that was the case then the dock and keyboard need to be included so it is a package otherwise it becomes nothing more than a higher spec tablet because the keyboard is only an optional extra!!!

It does; thanks. You sound like you really love your chromebook! Alas, I decided that since I want something that has a desktop (but the advantages of the cloud), I decided to get a "regular" netbook and install Joli OS onto it. Joli is a linux OS (based on Umbuntu) that is a halfway point between desktop based systems and cloud based systems. Really like it so far. Having no desktop was a little too much of a leap for me, as I don't want to be absolutely tethered to wi-fi.

It's the best 14" screen you'll find in this price range. It's much better than the screen on my 11" Samsung Chromebook. Indeed, the screen is so good that this computer is now my SOLE computer. You may have come across some crybaby consumers who say the screen isn't this or isn't that, but they never address the fact that what they are whining about doesn't exist in any other comparably priced computer.

I am not familiar with the chrome book but it works great with my HP laptop.

The desk space is small. I don't think I would've bought it if I saw it first. I think the price is too high.

Nope.i bought it for my 12 y/o and had to give it to my 7 y/o. It looks slick but in terms of software and display quality it is a 2 out of ten. Hardly one star.

Too early to say but the new Haswell Chromebooks are pretty fast. The Acer C720 is half the price. I think $399 is really pushing it for a price point on a chromebook.Listen to this .. . . http://gigaom.com/2014/03/11/samsung-chromebook-2-benchmarks-chrome-show/Also note that Bay Trail and Braswell chips are coming out.

Agreed, Amazon can shove it. Just bought one off of eBay. Base price was 1889.99 shipped, but I get $151.20 cash back from Windows Live, and hopefully another $56.70 cash back from ebates.com for a total price of $1682.09. Ordered it today around lunchtime, will be delivered tomorrow between 10 and 2. (beat that, Amazon).

but there are netbooks for under 200. and they do so much more. Chromebook at over 300 does seem odd.

I love my HP Chromebook's 14" display. It is so good that I have ditched my Windows PC and use my Chromebook as my sole computer. I had a Samsung 11.6" Chromebook, which was great, but the 11.6" screen was too small for me. The HP 14" screen is much larger and better.Ask the complainers to name a single 14" screen that is even comparable to this HP 14" screen at this price. They can't, because there is none. Have I had better screens? Yes, in $2,500+ laptops. But this isn't a $2,500+ laptop, or even a $1,000 laptop. It is a $300 laptop, with a very good screen.I'll tell you, a problem with all this technology is that it has turned many men into girly boys who think they have to whine about something all the time.

I have 22 tabs of Chrome simultaneously open right now, and it's very smooth. Also I have open the PDF Reader, Mail, Finance and Music apps. I love this computer!
