Samsung Chromebook 3 XE500C13-K01US / S01US 2 GB RAM 16GB SSD 11.6in Laptop (Renewed)

This is not as fast as a laptop but is completely functional for what I need it for. This is the 3rd one I have purchased. (the others were gifts) and I am very happy with the chromebook for what I needed it for. I use it mostly to update a blog, check emails, shop, etc. I love how thin and light it is.

I like this chromebook, I am skeptical of buying a (renewed) product of any kind but, this purchase may be a game changer. Upon receiving it I immediately fully charged it. After putting in all my info. It worked better than expected. It is a little slow on first loading up but once it does there's nothing else I can find to complain about. I bought it mainly for my grandson to watch videos and movies and it does well. I only give it a 4 star because it is slow to load when first turning on.

This is exactly what I was looking for. It's lightweight, compact. I opened the box, turned it on and within minutes I was logged in (using my wifi password and google account log in). It's basic. But it serves my needs perfectly (web browsing and google drive are all I need). There isn't a caps lock button, so it's going to take some time for me to get used to pressing alt and search. I'm hoping there is a shortcut to this. (I just got it last night). Highly recommend if you are looking for a, as my husband called it, a 'phone w a larger screen and a keyboard'. Again, perfect for my needs.Edit / I discovered that you can make the search key a short cut for other options. I selected mine to be caps lock and now I love this Chromebook even more.

Very slow worth the money if you have the patience for the slowness

Got this as a refurb for a non-geek client who just needs it to be a working tool...so far so good. I am loving ChromeOS, so easy to learn and support. Folks spend more time in browsers than anywhere else and having something that mostly lives in the cloud helps to avoid backup procedures, supports versioning of documents and is easy to support. Essentially, we're back to remote terminals...and it's a good thing.But none of that's about this Chromebook, which is pretty doggone nice. The regular old HDMI jack is a plus...though I think Chromebooks all ought to use the new USB/C standard for charging, like most this one doesn't...and the simple power plug is easy to insert...unlike say a directional microUSB. The battery lasts all day, it's quiet and fast...

Defective from the get go.

I've only had it for a few days, but I've gotten so much done on it. I'm using it for online classes and I love it! When my chromebook arrived, it looked brand new. I was skeptical about ordering it because I've had issues with refurbished products in the past from local stores, but this product is amazing. Definitely worth the money!

looks like new,works fine.great seller.
