Love how 1080p on a 13 inch screen is now low resolution. Meanwhile you still have 768p displays being sold and you get shit if you call that out for being too low.
Yes, the Netflix app will work, but only in SD quality through the app. However, through Chrome, it works perfectly. But for downloads/offline viewing, you will have to use the app. It doesn't look good...
With no Office apps, I almost took it back. But I managed to create shortcuts to 365 Office - So I have an icon to open Outlook and also Office 365 in new windows. They look close to apps. Also, it seems apps like Fubo TV, Netflix, etc all work much better from Chrome. So I created shortcuts for those and pinned them. The app versions of the apps just suck honestly, and they change what they do based on whether you are in desktop or tablet mode.
The speakers are pretty awful. But from what I hear, so are the ones for the s7+ FE (what I was comparing to). But most of the time I will have my Buds near me.
But for a true Chrome desktop experience, this works really well, and you can't get that on Android. So I have close to a desktop experience, with a detachable keyboard, a big screen and crazy battery life for $350. It isn't perfect, but I'll take it.
I actually do like using it as a tablet somewhat as well. For music lyrics, the long screen works great (less scrolling during performances). Also in bed, if I prop it up on my stomach, etc, with my legs behind it in bed, it works as a tablet.
And for watching Tennis, etc in tablet mode, I just love the big screen.
Not bad. I paid 309 during the last big sale open Box in excellent condition. I love this damn thing. I use it half the time is just a tablet. Nice keyboard attachment too and the battery lasts a good 14 to 15 hours.
I bought one since I have a long flight coming up and wanted a bigger screen than my Tab S6. I was looking at a bigger Galaxy Tab , but by time you get a case, etc. , you are spending a lot of money.

Some things to consider...the resolution on this makes a bit tough to use as a tablet (decent eyes will see pixelation) and I am thinking from memory this model MIGHT have some Netflix issues.
This is a great deal but like other reviews have mentioned, it's really too unwieldy to handle as a tablet. The performance is excellent and plays most google play store games. Screen is phenomenal. If you have the $100 off Best Buy snapdragon coupon from a month back this is almost too good to pass up.

Qualcomm should issue another waive of $100 coupons. $250 would make this tablet a much better deal and would sell out instantly. The previous $279 ($379-$100) was a deal, but not too hot to pull the trigger, considering the low resolution.

How is it? Is it easy to install Android apps.

What kind of stuff do you do on it? Is it snappy or kind of sluggish?
I don't own a Chromebook but see brief mentions about how for some websites the apps only display SD and some services (like Peacock) don't work at all. Has that been your experience too?
My bad you're right. I picked one up at $279 after coupon a few weeks ago and found it to be excellent for the price. Returned it tho as I already have a similar size touch screen Chromebook that I prefer.

I used this for a couple weeks and didn't run in to any issues. I don't have peacock but Netflix , prime , and all the. Play apps I installed worked just fine. Some games stuttered a bit but that was rare. I also used it for work and got in the VPN and that worked well too. The screen is gorgeous but just too big for me as a tablet.

Seriously, I'm a bit of a resolution snob and this is fine. Meanwhile Microsoft will gladly sell you a surface laptop go with a truly awful screen
