Samsung Chromebook Plus Convertible Touch Laptop (XE513C24-K01US)
The Chromebook plus is the next generation of premium Chromebooks with the flexibility of a tablet. Chromebook Plus is designed and optimized for Android apps, and is the first Chromebook designed with an integrated pen.
I spent weeks researching Chromebooks just trying to find out about the quality of the writing with stylus and palm rejection performance
Stylus pen : really handy, especially at hi-resolutions
Extremely responsive, quick boots, great touchscreen and stylus, first rate.
I hated to lose the screen & Stylus from the Samsung, but competitor product performs similarly, is smaller, and has all the ports and slots a normal user needs *built in*.
Flip-book designs like the CB+ are 2lb+ laptops first, with software-accelerated passive styli designed to mimic the no-lag, active styli on iPad Pros and Surfaces
This has a better I/O dual USB Type C as opposed to 1, plus more versatile in how you use it due to it being a full-fledged computer
The keys will go clicky clackety when folded up but the machine is smart enough to ignore the keyboard when in tablet model so its inconsequential.
The Samsung Chromebook Plus is a good machine, but the software has been unreliable
Overall it is a decent machine and the price was reasonable.
Also, I was very pleasantly surprised to find that my machine came with $20 in Google Play Store credit, although I can't guarantee that they'll continue to do that.
I have seen on a Chromebook-2 in 1 functionality that works fairly wellCons-Terrible keyboard (seriously, I cannot stress enough on how bad it is)-ARM processor is weak and limits this device-$400 price tag is not justifiableAll in all, this device was very underwhelming to me
Samsung makes great TV’s but they do not make good laptops.
I switch between this and a desktop, and though the desktop's always going to be faster, this processor doesn't feel painfully slow, which is surprising for an ARM chip
I'm going to be returning this and holding out hope that the Pro's more powerful processor and increased dev time can iron out the issues.
Somehow i really like my Samsung Chromebook Plus, but it's really suffering from it's slow processor

As someone that frequently deals with *nix systems, I'm well aware of how well Linux (what Chromium OS and thus Chrome OS use for their kernel) can perform and how well it can handle issues that might pop up during run time
So far day one the function of this computer seem t be fine no issues there
Lack of backlighting is not an issue: the screen is so bright that the keys are pretty lit
This is not an isolated issue, it's actually quite common among this Chromebook
, wifi doesn't always work, even when it shows you're connected- Samsung's lack of support- Not enough cpu/gpu power to drive the high resolution display

Lack of backlighting is not an issue: the screen is so bright that the keys are pretty lit
The lack of back lighting is not usually an issue as the letters are reflective and the amazing screen illuminates them
USB type C on both sides, keyboard not difficult to adjust to / big enough, screen and battery solid
Writing is smooth, quick, and palm rejection is very accurate about 98% of the time

I concur with all the praise: Superb screen, fast and smooth as long as you understand the limitations of the processor, great keyboard, beautiful finish
Writing is smooth, quick, and palm rejection is very accurate about 98% of the time
Stylus works really well with palm rejection, looking forward to Google Keep being improved as we go
Hinges are a bit sticky/creaky--but better that than loose
It doesn't have a lot of travel and the keys do feel a bit 'cheap'.However, if you type a lot you'll have no problems at all
Sound is clear but is a bit "low" and not really "rich" in bass
Although it lags a little bit and that some of its features such as the android apps compatibility is not working so well, as a laptop with light weight and that is 360° reversible, it is pretty awesome
The google handwriting recognition is a bit odd to use but works well
the trackpad is fine, geeze, no problem with it 2) the keyboard is fine and I figure even if you're used to full size, which this really is close to, you will adjust if you have to write a 20 page report
The problem was so bad that I assumed I had a defective unit, so I returned it and ordered another
Like I said, I see others talking about the same problem so not an isolated problem to my machine
But otherwise it's been great, no other problems.
One, the outer metal'ish top-surface scratches easily (a major problem which I expect will and certainly needs to be fixed in future versions)
n’t get a refund for a product that doesn’t work and has a warranty for 1 year
i was about to return this product even though i really like it cause the bluetooth was permanently disabled to 'off'
* Bluetooth is working fine now
Bluetooth is intermittent/weak, Screen dimmer has no setting between "off" and "Too bright at night", not enough ports, no USB type A, no Video Out, no SD card

Then the 3rd one came out without dead pixel but a scratch on the screen

While I stand by my assessment that Chrome OS is more than enough OS for most people and that the OS is actually surprisingly developer friendly (I'm compiling C++ on it without issue, so the OS is definitely a capable Linux system), the hardware is utter garbage
I ordered a replacement and found a dead pixel on the screen as soon as it was pulled out from the box
While the volume could have been a little louder out of the box, a quick download of a volume booster app solved that problem.
The volume is also seriously deficient, you can barely hear it at all.
Dark scenes in Movie/TV media will lose considerable detail in bright environments.- Audio volume isn't loud enough for noisy environments such as an airplane, even with active noise cancelling headphones
The speakers are on the bottom, and the volume on this is horrible.
TINY speakers with very poor volume - You can barely have a zoom call without headphones
