Just to let you know the keyboard is not comfortable to type and the layout is not the standard type. The battery quality is very poor as it will not be able to charge after 1 year. This is my experience and it may be different from yours.

Suggestion...

I came across the budget Chromebook with 4GB Ram, 32GB flash, SD card.

https://www.walmart.com/ip/11-6-Chr...re-Processor-4GB-Ram-32GB-Hard-Drive/54445637

The processor is Processor: Rockchip RK3288 Cortex A17 processor

compare with

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung...memory-metallic-black/5756800.p?skuId=5756800

which one is better?

- In terms of Processor
-In terms of performance.

intel is better

I agree x 2.

My Chromebook had a dead battery and recently I found a company doing repair for Chromebook.

Being naive I went to seek their advice and had a bill shock.

They're called technofied pte ltd (Link: here)

Consultation alone cost $100 (Being called as deposit).

Then they quoted me for motherboard and battery replacement of $390.

I can buy a new Chromebook for that amount.

Learn my lesson the hard way.

I am waiting for Samsung Chromebook Pro...

I know many people are trying to buy the chromebook from Amazon and use it in Singapore, do you guys have any concern in term of warranty, is it an international warranty? What can I do in Singapore if the chromebook fail within the warranty period?

thanks.

Buy a new one

I am wondering is it what a buyer will do, -> buy item from Amazon, if it is faulty just buy another new 1?
But the Samsung chromebook pro I planning to purchase is around s$800, will be very risky if can't repair and no warranty in singapore

$800 can buy a brand new i5 notebook in Singapore.

$800 can buy a brand new i5 notebook in Singapore.

$800 for an i5 notebook probaby gets you a thick cheaply built laptop, thick bezels, max 1080p display and no touch screen.

On the other hand the Samsung Chromebook Pro is a thin and light 2-in-1 device, well built and with a bright 1440p display. It also has a built in pen as a bonus.

It really depends on usage, if you are just surfing the net, reading emails, watching videos the Chromebook is more than capable. If you need full programs like Photoshop, Microsoft office etc. then you should consider others instead.

$800 is for $800 specs.
Haha...$800 for chromebook?

As I said build quality is vastly different and you get a way better screen. Some people don't need full windows programs and the Chromebook is a pretty good fit. Not to mention battery life, Chromebooks have easily 8+ hours, I'll be surprised if a $800 laptop lasts more than 6.

No thanks to a $800 chromebook. Rather spend $800 on tablet.

Samsung chromebook pro is a 2-in-1 which means it can be used as a tablet as well with full andriod apps but yeah at the end of the day it comes down to preference.
