179 of 187 people found the following review helpful Excellent Samsung Chromebook Pro with a Capable Intel Core m3-6Y30 Processor and Out-of-the-Box Support for Android Applications, June 1, 2017 This review is from: Samsung XE510C24-K01US Chromebook Pro (Personal Computers) There are two main differences between the recently-released Samsung Chromebook Pro computer, and the Samsung Chromebook Plus model, which was launched earlier this year, on February 12, 2017. The Samsung Chromebook Pro unit has a black exterior, rather than silver, and the Samsung Chromebook Pro is equipped with a more powerful Intel sixth-generation 0.9GHz Core m3-6Y30 processor, rather than the ARM-based Hexa-Core OP1 processor with which the Samsung Chromebook Plus computer is equipped. This Intel sixth-generation Skylake Core m3-6Y30 processor is an ultra-low-voltage mobile processor, which provides strong performance, low power consumption, low heat generation, and the capability for a fanless and silent system. Other than their different color and their different processors, the two devices are virtually identical. This new 12.3-Inch Samsung Chromebook Pro computer retains the thin (0.55-inch), light (2.4-pounds), and sleek design and construction of its immediate predecessor,...

It is not, July 1, 2017 This review is from: Samsung XE510C24-K01US Chromebook Pro (Personal Computers) First off, let's clear up the fact that I wasn't in the market for a MacBook replacement (though I have one issued through my office) nor was I in the market for a cheap POS machine (traditional Chromebook marchitecture). I actually wasn't looking for anything in particular, but was intrigued by the prospect of a device that could function as a daily driver and as a tablet. The Android app functionality is really what made me decide to purchase a Chromebook. Note: I spent about 2 weeks reading and watching every single review between the ASUS C302a Flipbook and this Samsung Pro before eventually landing on this product. If you're not entirely sold on this because of the keyboard reviews (despite what I type next) I advise you take gander there. First things first: you are going to read a lot of reviews saying that this keyboard is crap. It is not. It is fine for the device that this machine is. I am a keyboard aficionado. I own a Corsair, Steel Series, and Razer...

I have been the proud owner of a MacBook Pro for several years and think that this will replace it for me completely. Granted I never used the Mac for photo/video editing and don't plan to do any of that on the Chromebook. With the Google Play store it is hard to think of something that this can't do, other than reformatting drives and running enterprise software that only exists for PCs/Macs. Seeing as I don't need any of that kind of software on my personal computer I am very content with what this has to offer. The screen is superb, the stylus is great (never been a stylus user till now), and the keyboard isn't nearly as bad as what some online reviews claim. I read online that it smudges easy on the outside so I put a custom skin on it the second I opened it. Speakers aren't great, but they aren't bad either (which is another ding against this machine that I saw pretty frequently...) All in all I can easily say that this is the device I...
