Best Chromebook money can buy if you don't care about battery life.

Edit: if you are not heavy mobile.

I am returning the one i purchased about 2 weeks ago for 539 + Tax, and just bought this for 479.40 + Tax = 516.55.
Thanks OP.

By the way, whoever has this Chromebook, do you have any issues with the screen brightness that weirdly adjust itself? sometimes it gets so bright when i haven't even touched anything.
and it might be the ChromeOS issue, but when I close the lid, it was supposed to go to the Sleepmode, then I can wake it up with my finger print, however, it just restarts itself and I can't find a setting related to this issue. It sometimes happens when the laptop has enough battery though.

Please chime in if you know about the issues I mentioned here.

just FYI. you can never ever stream 4K contents on this Chromebook other than the Youtube's 2160P contents. Netflix won't work at 4k which is a huge flaw for me. I've even tried the Edge browser by using Linux. but didn't get it to work. so I am still not sure what I can use this Chromebook for. Well I don't use this for any office work so. Just for a media consumption, this isn't the one. I'd rather use my Tab S7+ which can play 1080P HDR+ contents from Netflix as a Netflix Certified device.

I hope critics would be happy this time with the price as they had their criticism about the slickness of the deal.

With respect, what does heavy mobile mean?

Also, I think people have talked about some kind of modding(?) you can do on Chromebooks... Was that for linux or something? Or is there some limitation normally with the play store?

How did you get this to work? Signed into my account for the EPP discount and didn't see this much of a discount.

I third that statement. Nobody but the poster got it for that price and I highly
Doubt it's going to change any. The OP just got a lucky break for whatever reason.

You may contact Samsung's rep to price match your old order. One of the rep may just pricematch the order (refund the differences) and that could save you some of hassle related to returning the device!

Been there and done that. and takes way too long to get it work, In my case before, it took me 3 tries and ended up returning 43" SERO TV. this is just me with their customer service and YMMV.
I'd rather return it and getting a newer one is a better option. There is a Fedex store within 3min away so.
