Excellent review- particularly your breakdown of the capability of ARM vs. traditional Intel . I use my personal laptop maybe 2-4 times per week for Zoom meetings, Microsoft Office, and web browsing. I'm retiring my ancient Macbook and a laptop under $300 that can do all of the above, lend to battery life and portability, and is compatible with my Samsung phone is a win all around.

That's pretty good! This definitely isn't a monster , But it should do what you want . And it can technically run 64-bit applications now if it has Windows 11. A surface go 2 may be a good fit as well. They sell for $300. And it's a 10-inch tablet. It will have a nicer screen, and it might be slightly faster and more portable. But you may get worse battery life. And the keyboard won't be as good, detachable keyboards never are. So depends on what you want. This seems like a good cheap option. Just remember that for an extra one or $200 more you could get a laptop with some pretty good power and a pretty good touch screen. I say the best value is found around $500. But for your use case, the $300 options should be just fine

@@AndroidDigest Great suggestions and thanks for the reply! The Microsoft surface go was a definite consideration. The tie breaker for me was 1) the ports: no USB-A and only one USB-C. And 2) the cost: After factoring in the keyboard I'd be looking closer to $500.... which puts us in range of some really solid laptops that would out-spec the surface. I'll give the Samsung a good two week test run and let you know how it goes. Worst case, I'll send it back and be back in the comments section laptop shopping again.

You can take it to school, spend entire day taking notes, doing stuff then come back home, do your homework and you will still have battery left to watch Netflix. I am easily getting 18 hours battery life on it. Windows 11 added support for x86 64-bit applications so you can install Chrome, Firefox x86 64-bit etc. Microsoft office runs great on it. Microsoft Edge Chromium is flying on this laptop because it is native ARM application. Keyboard is super comfortable to type on. I just need one charger to charge both my laptop and my phone as the laptop comes with a regular USB-C charger. So there is no need to carrying two chargers in your backpack. The laptop is super thin and lite. I bought this laptop during holidays so there were many deals for laptops. I had opportunity to buy Lenovo 7i Slim with Intel 11th gen on deep sale and I decided to keep this Samsung. I do not think $1000 laptop would do anything better than this $300 Samsung when it comes to office / productivity work. Plus i got spoiled with this Samsung and now I do not want to deal with cooling fans, heat and noise anymore. I highly recommend it. The laptop has 4Gb of memory so just keep in mind to disable any programs that you do not use in start up.

Well I think it would be a lot faster than this Galaxy book go. Chrome OS is much better with light tasks. You won't be able to download Windows applications of course, .exe files, but if you're just using the web or Google docs I think it's a pretty good cheap laptop. But realistically there are some better deals. The Acer Spin 713 has a Chromebook with a 2k screen and a 10th gen i3 processor for $329. That will blow both of these out of the water and the screen will be way way better. $329 is a great price. So there may be some better deals overall, but you will still get a great device in the Galaxy Chromebook Go, at least based on specs. But it's not even a 1080p screen, so I do think the 2k screen in the acer is a better buy, especially since the acer also has a better processor

Since my review this computer now works with Windows 11 and it does work with 64-bit programs. so things have improved... but even on low settings it can't run games from 6 plus years ago. It won't run Fortnite even on low. If you are on a budget and want a Windows laptop for cheap, I'd look for something with an i3, i5, or i7 processor, or a laptop with a Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 7 processor. And at least 8GB of RAM. You could find something like that at $400 to $500. and it should run Fortnite on low settings. or at a lower resolution. Also it will be much faster. You may find an HP pavilion or a Lenovo laptop around that price. They may have small batteries and plastic builds but at least they will do what you need and give enough power.

It can run Windows 11 but the Chrome issue has nothing to do with the OS, it's the ARM CPU. Google has not made an ARM version of Chrome, so until they do that, it'll run much slower than Edge on this laptop whether you have Windows 10 or 11 because the software's code still has to be translated to be ARM compatible in real-time as it runs. If you really just hate Edge, then you could use Firefox. They have an ARM build and it runs great on this laptop. If you really, really want Chrome, you just have to wait for Google to release an ARM version for it to run well.

But yes this device should be fine, just don't expect to game on it or do anything intense

That I'm not sure about! Things have changed since the launch of this laptop. Now Windows 11 is out, and this device should be able to run 64 and 32 bit apps! And all the other Samsung laptops I've used worked with Samsung smart switch, so I assume this should as well, especially with the expanded app support (assuming you upgrade to windows 11). But I can't be 100% sure!

I have a problem, and I wonder if this laptop would be a solution. A few days ago my Chromebook did a pwa Zoom update. There is no way to get rid of it. Ever since the update I can not interact in my Zoom classes due to a black screen. I have spent days trying to Zoom, but to no avail. I am sick over this update. I have a Zoom class tonight. Would this laptop be good for attending Zoom classes? I need help quick, and I am old with little computer knowledge.

Sorry but no. It appears zoom has issues on arm processors. It's possible it would work but from what I'm reading it wouldn't. Did you try downloading a zoom Chrome extension? Or did you try going to the google play store and downloading the app through there?

I am very tech challenged. I did a back to factory reset, but as soon as I turned it on Chrome automatically updated it with this pwa. Before Friday July 2nd I had been attending Zoom classes and meetings (3 classes & 5 meetings) every week since the beginning of January. I've been using only chromebooks for several years now exclusively, but now Chrome has gone from easy to use to slow and complicated. I'm beginning to despise my Chromebooks.

@@patriciaribaric3409 one of your apps should be called "play store". If you open that and search zoom you may be able to download and install the android version of zoom. Another thing to try is downloading this web extension at this link chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/zoom-scheduler/kgjfgplpablkjnlkjmjdecgdpfankdle?hl=en-US and trying to start a meeting from that extension, seeing. You may already have these things downloaded or you may have tried, just trying to help. Chromebooks are great devices and they are pretty simplistic. It just stinks that zoom isn't working for you. If the things above don't work feel free to let me know if you are interested in getting a new device. Android tablets can run zoom well, so can smartphones, and I can always recommend other Windows laptops if you have decided you want to go back to Windows

So for entertainment and school work, no gaming or unnecessary apps, this is worth the money?
@AndroidDigest

For $350? If I'm honest I do think there are better options. But it does depend.. If you just want to do basic school work in Microsoft edge and typing documents, this can be good for that, and it will have good battery life for it too. But there are some options that have much more power and flexibility if you are willing to give up a little more battery life. I just feel like they are a lot more powerful and better for the money, again, if you can sacrifice a little battery. For example: There's an Asus laptop with an i3 processor for example for under $350. It only has 4GB of RAM but that's what this laptop has, but the processor will be much more powerful and you will be able to do a little more with it. Battery life may be a little worse than this Galaxy Book. But again. You are getting more power and flexibility to do more with it. Power matters even for school work. shop-links.co/cgqChHk58Sb There's also an MSI laptop, it's probably a little nicer than the Asus one I just mentioned. But it's a little nicer, again, more power, a little less battery shop-links.co/cgqCnDJg0bv And then there's a tablet like the Microsoft Surface Go 2. It's more powerful than this Galaxy Book Go. It has more RAM It's smaller, but extremely portable and you can purchase a keyboard separately, and then you have a portable laptop to bring on the go. And a basic tablet for entertainment. shop-links.co/cgqCvA0RZDK These are the best buy options I see for a close price. It really depends on what you are looking for. If you value battery life above all else. But you still need windows for school, and you just want something super basic, yes, this Galaxy Book Go would work. But if you can deal with a little less battery life and you want something that can actually handle your day to day tasks with more ease, I'd recommend one of the three options I mentioned. I'm sure there are other options from some other places too.

It's very complicated. To get a decent laptop you want to find a laptop with at least 8 GB of RAM and an i3, i5, i7 processor. You can also find Ryzen 5, or Ryzen 7 processors too. BUT here's the big thing: graphics cards. That is what makes gaming work on laptops. Most laptops, especially around $400 or $500, they will have "integrated graphics". Basically they won't have an extra graphics card built in, so gaming won't be great. If a computer is fast enough, it can play older games on lower or medium settings. So a laptop with an i5 processor and 8GB of RAM could probably play some older games and do okay. But if you really want to do gaming you probably want to look for a "gaming laptop". Any gaming laptop will do to at least play basic games. But typically they start around $600, the HP Victus laptop is one of the cheapest gaming laptops, or HP has a gaming laptop at walmart that's around $550 or so, and Acer has one as well. Normally between $600, that's the base price for gaming. Otherwise you could find a laptop at walmart or best buy around $400 with an i5 processor and 8GB of RAM, and those could play older games on lower settings, but could get you by. Hopefully this helps.
