Good deal. But, the 7000+ review is for "1-Year Accidental Geek Squad Protection". This laptop has only 127 reviews in BestBuy.com. OP's message may mislead others thinking that it has 7000+ reviews.
In case anyone is wondering this will revive updates until June 2028.
Good price for low level Chromebook. Should be a great laptop for travel and quick web browsing.

I posted this deal last week and it is $50 more(yes, about 45% more) and is better in all ways. 14" vs 12" screen, 64gb vs 32gb, newer CPU(has less cores but is rated about double as fast on single core), Wifi 6.

edit: just checked and that deal is expired and was also only for Costco members. Leaving post for reference of other Chromebook with better specs for refernece if it helps anyone.

Should I buy this or $99 Lenovo Chromebook tablet? Specs looks the same except keyboard.

Lenovo Chromebook tablet will be supported until 2028, this Samsung is until 2028.

Lenovo does not have keyboard despite being a around $60 purchase.

More like 13". I got a 13" and it was very similar in size to my 11". Not sure why they make them that way. Unfortunately it is hard to find a decent priced 13".

You can find a lot of Chromebooks on discount with the huge influx of people that are wanting to work from home, and they go out and buy a cheap Chromebook instead of paying attention to the minimum required specs.
Many people just do web stuff and this will work for a decent amount of that.

I tried few chromebooks and returned.
The best one was spin 713 with excellent display. But i5 was overkill for chrome os and installing windows is difficult.
The next best processor ( for under $90 ) for chrome book is Intel N4XXX. And Samsung had best keyboard but bad display in their non fhd versions.
Finally I realized it's easy to convert a windows laptop to chrome book but not reverse. So returned all chromebooks and bought a $300 Dell i3 laptop.
ChromeOS is best in elementary school scenario anything else windows / Mac / Linux should be used.

It depends on your use case.
I was wondering the same thing until I read in this thread that this does not have a touch screen. I primarily want a tablet for reading so I suspected that form factor would be best. But I might be willing to sacrifice a little comfort for the keyboard of this was better in other areas as well. But, the lack of a touch screen would make this inadequate for the main purpose I am purchasing a Chromebook for.

This looks like a great deal if typing is more important than reading as a tablet and having a touch screen.

So as previously stated, they are different enough that it depends on your main use case.

So you got a chromebook and want to install windows. then decided on a windows laptop and want to install chromeos. lol.

It includes 3 free months of security software LOL I thought that was the whole reason behind buying a Chromebook is that they are so secure that you don't need security software
That's about BB's profit margin upselling, not the security of the item, per see. But yes I have been offered extended warranties that didn't even take me up to the full mfg warranty period by etailers. So, Caveat Emptor.

Was new to Chromebooks. Saw Chromebook limitations and Since the spin 713 Chromebook specs were great thought of converting it to windows machine then explored installing windows but found not easy or not worth the effort. MSOffice ecosystem and application ide was my main use case so returned Chromebooks.
