Just seen the Samsung galaxy Chromebook $1,000 who would buy one?

Absolutely not. Get a "real" laptop instead...

So, does it come with Knox-Bootloader and do you need Odin to install it?😁

@olback I bought a real laptop for $800, then added $300 of hardware. So for same price I got 24GB ram, 1TB SSD, and i7-8750, 1050 to run my games.

@Demolishun shouldn't you get a better gpu for that money 🤔

Why buy overpriced garbage when you can have overpriced TOP garbage? Buy Apple.

@electrineer It was last year. I dunno.

The next step up was like 300 or 400 more at that time.

@shoop My spyware is better than your spyware...

@shoop maintenance on Chrome OS and Android is way better. Would not buy it though (just like I won't buy a $1000 phone) OS support probably ends in 3 to 4 year

Why does fucken samsung try to build computers now?
I mean at least it doesn't look like a kids toy, like their phones.

$1000 for a thin client? No thanks.

i'd buy a new desktop for that, fuck your chromebook xD

Who would buy one? Only people with more money than reason.

I'd prefer my 'hello world kernel.img' over ChromeOS anytime.

@nitwhiz Samsung also got an military department, you know

The only positive about this is that SAMSUNG did not try and push their own OS through. Remember Tizen, anyone?

@nitwhiz Samsung build awesome 9 series laptops. They stepped it the PC business a few years back.

Me

@Maer Tiz- what?

1000$ for a chromebook? You'll get a decent laptop for that much money.

With the given specs y not make it a real laptop???

@nitwhiz @namnbyte @hjk101 Samsung has been making PCs since 1983 and laptops at least since 1996. Source: https://news.samsung.com/global/...

can someone tell me why would anybody buy this? it's a few years now and i still don't get it

@electrineer I completely missed that ^^

@ddephor @olback @JFK422
You guy's do understand that it is a real laptop right.
Also Chrome OS is not just a Linux kernel that only runs Chrome.
Besides Chrome apps you can run Android apps and Linux apps (it runs reamlessly in a secure containerizated environment out of the box).

Maintenance is a dream. Expiration is a nightmare.

@hjk101 sure, you can run Android apps and some Linux distros. But it's crazy overpriced. Plus, not all chromebooks can run Android apps.

@namnbyte would make sense since they're literally one third of s. Koreas economy

@Ranchu it's the OS Samsung created, was used on their earlier smart watches and many of thier smart TVs
