I bought this computer for my daughter who is a secondary student. She was asking for a similar Chromebook that's comparable to the ones they use at school. As a devout Apple user, I was hesitant. For one, my kid decided to trade in her kindles and iPad to get a good upgrade. I would recommend this to parents because it provides a significant discount. After that, my daughter utilized the Amazon prime day getting a super great deal on the Samsung Chromebook. I think she paid under $50 total after trade-in and discounts.
For the functioning of the Chromebook, I am impressed with its ability to work. My daughter is an aspiring writer and photographer. This computer has kept up with the artistic demands as long as the user stays within the capacity of apps. Through the google suite, my kid has edited beautiful photos that won awards recently. I also like that she doesn't have to be on wifi to write, once connected to a wifi the files update and save to the drive. There was no additional expense in-app purchases or software which I appreciate. I can say this little Chromebook is doing the work that is needed. Keep in mind we aren't gamers or major digital content people. It gets the job done at a quality rate for my student. She has even created a few vlogs for youtube without issue. If you're on a budget I recommend this computer. My daughter tells me for her commute for school and photoshoots, with her camera and jobypod, the computer is a tad heavier than what she likes. For her school backpack, the Samsung Chromebook is lighter weight but not comparable to the Mac air lightness.
I recommend!
