Does it come with free 3G?
It is almost a year when we saw first chromebooks. Is it a reason to celebrate?
Hi, love your post. I'd like to add. While previous Chromebooks were too pricey and limited in functionality, the Samsung Chromebook Series 3 comes closest to capturing Google's original vision. With a cost of $249, this notebook gets people online on the cheap and provides a comfortable keyboard and touchpad. The 1.7-GHz Exynos 5 dual processor and 2GB of RAM can't run some of the games in the Chrome Store, but these components should satisfy many user's needs. In addition, the Chrome OS itself has improved significantly since its launch. Still, we wish the display were brighter. thanks<3
You’re so interesting! I do not believe I have read a single thing like this before. So good to find another person with a few unique thoughts on this issue. Seriously.. many thanks for starting this up. This website is one thing that is needed on the web, someone with some originality!
