The essential Chromebook, to me, is like a commodity product, efficient, inexpensive, and designed for basic use. I often use a Chromebook as a go-to computer - handy, always on, quick - especially for internet tasks. I had literally worn out my 2013 Acer, so did some quick research and found the Samsung model that was similar, and I trust the brand, so I purchased it. It fulfills all of my requirements. The keyboard has a nice feel, the screen resolution and color is fine. Battery life is shorter than I expected, but I think with the quad-core it's bound to be less - expecting 8-10 hours, getting 4-5. But that works for me as I'm often using it for 10 minutes to 1.5 hours. Basically I like it. I do most of my writing on a higher end laptop, and most of my photo-editing and video production on my desk-top computer. Would I buy this Chromebook again? Yeah I would. Since technology advances so fast, I'd be hesitant to buy an expensive one and have it become obsolete quickly, though a cheap one with a bigger screen could be a valid option. Read full review

I bought one listed as new and it is new. The sticker says Manufact. date is 4/2020 and it has a bigger keyboard and a smooth top cover(I liked the faux leather of the old model). I suspect all the guts are the same and even though the design is 5 or 6 years old, it;s still good enough for streaming/browsing. I actually wanted something newer w/ a larger screen, but it's hard to find a plain, simple Chromebook with a HDMI out. Nobody ever mentioned it, but these K05US's have great wifi reception. I must like these little Chromebooks, this is my third one(The other two are still working, but one is glitchy w/ it's HDMI out).

For the most part it's a good product. It should have come with a user's guide to help me get started and I'm sorry it's too slanted towards Google products as i prefer Firefox. I had trouble at first accessing the tablet because I had to use a google account I forgot I had. It seems to be quick enough for my purposes but I'm spoiled with the processing speed of my desktop. I really like the weight and size of the table and price was great. Overall right now I'm happy with it but time will tell whether I'll continue to be. fred

Replacement for a broken aging IPad Pro for the spouse. Spouse now happy cruising the internet, Facebook & other social places. If you need something for the spouse, child or older person, this one can do it with out spending a lot of money. The only major issue-it does not have touchscreen like the IPad Pro. User will have to get use to using a keyboard under the screen which was not a big issue for my spouse. I would have rated it a "five" if it had touchscreen ability.

It is lightweight, the keys are a good size and not spaced too close together. It was easy to set up and get going. The colors in the pictures are sharp and clear. The type is easy to read. I'm really happy I bought this chromebook. I have multiple Samsung products and they are all excellent.
