This device is perfect for me because of the combination of, battery life, overall weight, and fully keyboard (vs just a tablet). This isn't a surface pro, I have used it for simple google sheets, online shopping, online bill pay, linking messaging from my phone with android, ect. 95% of what I use my laptop for personally happens inside of a web browser, generally just a few tabs at a time. For me, it's the perfect device at the price point. For others, it won't have the power or capability you are looking for.
About every 2-3 years I hop on to facebook and sell last year's version for around 100$ and buy a new version. They are pretty easy to sell in my market and generally go in under a day if they still work.

Again, this is a CPU from 2016, it is sloooowww. Keep that in mind, but it will play Netflix, and navigate to the webpages you want. It is comparable to a Snapdragon 800. So your phone probably has more processing power than this.
It all depends on who you're getting this for, and why -- i.e., a cheap near throwaway that is still usable for a young kid or your first foray with a basic task machine for yourself at the lowest possible price.
As always, YMMV. It depends on your expectations/demands vs. how much money you want to part with.
Those of us who have been in the chromebook universe since jump street all mostly started with a 2GB/16GB config with a low octane score processor . . . and most of us were pleased and came back for more, so beware of numbers obsessed tech heads who insist you need more than you might.
A tip if looking to get this, if the playstore app has a webpage instead, like Netflix, Hulu, et al that you can stream from use that, not the app. You can save the webpage as an app and it loads and looks better. Try to stick to Chrome OS plugins instead of using Android apps whenever possible.
Works perfectly for what I use it for even with just 2gb of ram, no issues whatsoever unless you get tab crazy. A little later into the lifecycle, Samsung changed the look of it from the one I have (slim, black and textured) to a little more chunky and just drab grey. Same internals, but I feel the newer version doesn't feel as premium as mine does if you can say something that cost $99 feels premium. The screens are the same however and that's a good thing because this thing gets plenty bright for oudoor use even (in shade).
Also, battery life is spectacular even when streaming. I can go a full 8 hours at least, with combination of surfing/streaming before I start to even get nervous about the battery indicator. Truly, it does have at least a 10 hour battery.
