三星 550C22-H01US Chromebook 测评
The Google Chromebook series of netbooks targets a very specific audience. Users who mainly need a notebook to surf the net and check mail without the hassle of Windows updates, anti-virus software, 3D gaming, or general bloat that entails a Windows or Mac platform would be the ideal candidate for a Chromebook.
The 2012 Samsung Chromebook in review is an update to the manufacturer’s original 2011 model, the Series 5 500C21. As a very simple notebook with one of the most basic UI touches, we liked the 2011 model for its ease-of-use, bright display, long runtimes and solid web performance. The 12.1-inch model on hand is equipped with a Celeron 867, 4 GB RAM, WLAN, 3G WWAN, and a 16 GB SSD for a retail launch price of $550, though models without WWAN are available for $100 less. Is the latest addition to the Chromebook lineup a hit for Samsung and Google?
谷歌Chromebook的一系列上网本的目标是非常具体的观众。主要是需要一个笔记本电脑上网冲浪，检查邮件，麻烦的Windows更新，防病毒软件，3D游戏，一般膨胀，必须在Windows或Mac平台的用户的Chromebook的将是理想的候选人。
在回顾2012年的三星Chromebook是制造商的2011款车型，5系列500C21更新。作为一个非常简单的一个最基本的UI触摸的笔记本，我们喜欢的2011款车型，其易于使用，明亮的显示屏，运行时间长，坚实的网络性能。手头的12.1英寸机型配备的是赛扬867，4 GB RAM，WLAN，3G WWAN，和一个16 GB SSD的零售价格550元推出，虽然没有WWAN的模型可用于低了100美元。除了三星和谷歌Chromebook的阵容一击是最新的吗？
Case
Quality-wise, the 550C22 is a large improvement over the 500C21. The minimalistic and rounded design continues in a more uniformly colored chassis made of hard plastic. To add a bit of elegance, the palm rest surface is brushed metal in appearance and the touchpad is lined with reflective chrome similar to the popular Lenovo Y580. The all-around matte surfaces are surprisingly very good at hiding finger prints as opposed to the black plastic keys, and the dual hinges hold the display in place without notable issues. The conservative style of the chassis has allowed Samsung to avoid the “cheap plastic” look and feel that commonly plague similarly-sized netbooks and larger budget notebooks.
Instances of twisting and depressions of the chassis are minimal. The center of the outer lid can depress slightly only after applying moderate force and feels above average and thick. the firm palm rests and keyboard are also quite sturdy and the underside even more resilient. Side-to-side twisting of the base is almost non-existent and twisting the display is tougher than what one might expect from a budget-class netbook, likely due to the thick bezel. Thankfully, overall weight is in line with most 12.1-inch budget notebooks such as the Asus Eee PC 1215B and Asus VX6 despite the great and generally better build quality of the Samsung.
550C22质量的角度来看，在500C21是一个大的改善。简约主义和圆润的外观设计延续更均匀着色的底盘硬质塑料制成的。要添加一点点优雅，掌托表面采用金属拉丝的外观和反射铬类似流行的联想Y580的触摸板两旁。善于隐藏指纹的黑色塑料按键，而不是所有的磨砂表面非常令人惊讶的是，双铰链保持显示在没有显着的问题。保守风格的底盘有三星，以避免“廉价的塑料”外观和感觉同样大小的上网本和更大的预算笔记本电脑常见的困扰。
机箱的扭曲和洼地的实例是微乎其微的。该中心的外盖可以抑制只有在应用力适中，感觉稍微高于平均水平，厚。该公司掌托和键盘也相当坚固，的底部更弹性。一侧到另一侧扭的基地几乎是不存在的，扭曲的显示比人们可能期望从预算级上网本厚厚的挡板，可能是由于强硬。值得庆幸的是，整体的重量是12.1英寸的预算笔记本电脑，如华硕的Eee PC1215B和华硕VX6的三星虽然很大，一般更好地建设的质量。
Connectivity
If a notebook was conceived and built solely around an internet browser, then it had better be equipped with reliable internet connectivity options. The Chromebook is, after all, as useful as a bricked router without an available internet connection. Fortunately, the Samsung Chromebook includes everything most users will need to surf the web no matter the current location.
For starters, every model has a Realtek RTL8168B/8116B Gigabit Ethernet port located on the left edge hidden under a flap between the AC input and DisplayPort output. It would have been easy for Samsung to use a simple 10/100 LAN port instead, but users who can take advantage of the Gigabit speeds will certainly appreciate the compatibility. WLAN is provided by an Atheros AR9300 MIMO chipset, notable for its dual-band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) and tri-stream (3x3) capabilities up to a theoretical 450 Mpbs transfer rate. Unless users can make use of the triple antennae in a wireless network, most will not notice substantial performance gains from the high-end Atheros module in the Chromebook compared to the WLAN offerings in budget notebooks. Reconnection immediately following system wake up is not as quick as we had hoped at around 4 or 5 seconds in most cases, but we experienced no unexpected drops or slow downs during heavy use.
如果笔记本电脑的构思和仅仅围绕互联网浏览器构建的，那么它更好的装备与可靠的网络连接选项。 Chromebook的是，毕竟，作为一个砖砌的路由器没有可用的Internet连接。幸运的是，三星Chromebook包括了大多数用户需要在网上冲浪，无论当前的位置。
对于初学者来说，每个模型都有了Realtek RTL8168B/8116B千兆以太网端口位于隐藏在瓣之间的交流输入和DisplayPort输出的左边缘。这本来是很容易的三星，而不是使用一个简单的10/100 LAN端口，但用户可以利用千兆位的速度肯定会欣赏的兼容性。 WLAN所提供的是Atheros AR9300 MIMO芯片组，值得注意的是其双频带（2.4 GHz和5 GHz）和三流（3X3）功能的理论450 Mpbs网的传输速率。除非用户可以使用的三天线在无线网络中，最不会注意到的预算笔记本电脑的WLAN产品相比，极大的提高性能的高端Atheros的模块中的Chromebook。重新连接后立即唤醒系统是约4秒或5秒，在大多数情况下，我们所希望的那么快，但我们没有遇到意外跌落或缓慢起伏的过程中大量使用。
Communication
For WWAN, our model includes a Novatel Wireless Gobi 3000 card (with built-in GPS) compatible with all major bands (CDMA/EV-DO Rev. A, HSPDA, Edge/GSM) currently offered by AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon. LTE speeds, however, are not supported, so most users will have to make due with 3G speeds. The Chromebook advertises Verizon as the carrier of choice, though users should theoretically be able to configure AT&T or Sprint connectivity instead. The rear of the unit houses a USIM slot hidden behind a flap should the user have a USIM card for UMTS (3G) connectivity.
Aside from the healthy wireless options, physical connectivity options are decent. All ports are easy-to-reach and are located on the left and right sides closer to the rear so users won’t have to worry about entangling or inconvenient cables. The DisplayPort can support resolutions up to 2560x1600 pixels and is compatible with VGA/DVI/HDMI adapters for added versatility, though none are included in the retail box.
It’s a bit disappointing to find no USB 3.0 ports or sleep-and-charge ports, but we suspect that the manufacturer may have deemed USB 3.0 unnecessary as the Chromebook is only equipped with a 16 GB SSD. The AC input plugis also quite fragile and flimsy and can easily bend or detach if the user is not careful.
Security
Chromebooks are unique in that practically all data is saved in the Cloud. The notebook automatically requires a Gmail password upon boot up and can only sign in as Guest otherwise. This may even be desired as Guest mode allows only web surfing and saves no cached data upon shut down. As long as the password is secure, personal data will remain safe in Google’s servers even if the notebook is stolen.
Security is improved even further with the Trusted Platform Module (TPM), which runs a series of verifications upon boot up to ensure there is no unidentified code, such as keyloggers, running in the background.
The Chrome platform has a passive benefit of avoiding viruses that specifically target Windows or Mac computers. The very nature of Chrome OS and its reliance on Cloud storage instead of local storage allows Chromebooks to feel much safer than notebooks running on the major operating systems. And should the Chromebook ever crash or refuse to boot, a pinhole Recovery Button underneath will reset the OS in a similar fashion as the slider Recovery in the previous model.
Accessories
Aside from the usual Quick Start pamphlet and AC adapter, the Chromebook includes no other accessories out-of-the-box. No dongles and no recovery items exist, so users will have to rely on third-party adapters and their own USB sticks for creating system backups. This is in contrast to the previous model that kindly threw in a VGA adapter with every purchase. Additional accessories, such as docks and secondary batteries, are beyond the scope of the Chromebook.
Warranty
The standard 12-month manufacturer limited warranty applies to the Chromebook with no 2-year or 3-year extended options as are available from most other major manufacturers. As an incentive for buyers to register the Chromebook with Samsung, users can increase their warranty by 3 months for a 15-month warranty.
通讯
对于WWAN，我们的模型中包括一个诺华达无线戈壁3000卡（内置GPS）兼容所有主要频段（CDMA / EV-DO版本一个，HSPDA，边缘/ GSM）目前由美国电话电报公司（AT＆T），Sprint公司和Verizon公司提供。然而，LTE的速度，不支持，所以大多数用户将不得不作出应有的3G的速度。 Chromebook的宣传Verizon作为载体的选择，虽然理论上应该能够配置，而不是AT＆T或Sprint的连接。单位的后部设有一个USIM插槽挡板后面隐藏的用户应该有一个USIM卡的UMTS（3G）连接。
除了健康的无线选项，物理连接选项是体面的。所有端口都容易到达的是位于左，右两侧后方，使用户不会有纠缠不清的或不便电缆的担心。 ，DisplayPort可以支持分辨率高达2560 x 1600像素，并兼容VGA / DVI / HDMI适配器，增加了多功能性，虽然没有包括在零售包装盒。
这是一个有点令人失望，没有找到USB 3.0端口或睡眠和充电端口，但我们怀疑，制造商可能会被视为USB 3.0的Chromebook是不必要的，因为只配备了一个16 GB的SSD。的的AC输入plugis也相当脆弱的，脆弱的，可以很容易地弯曲或分离，如果用户不小心。
安全
Chromebooks是独一无二的，几乎所有的数据都保存在云中。使笔记本电脑自动开机时，需要一个Gmail密码只能以来宾否则。这甚至可能需要的客户模式允许，只有网上冲浪，并保存关闭时没有缓存的数据。只要密码是安全的，个人数据仍然是安全的，即使在Google的服务器上的笔记本电脑被盗。
进一步提高安全性的可信平台模块（TPM），运行一系列的启动，以确保没有任何身份不明的代码，如键盘记录器，在后台运行时验证。
的Chrome平台有一个被动的利益，避免病毒专门针对Windows或Mac计算机。 Chrome OS和云存储，而不是本地存储的依赖的本质，允许Chromebooks感到更加安全，而主要的操作系统上运行的笔记本电脑。而应该Chromebook的崩溃或拒绝启动，针孔恢复下方的按钮将重置OS以类似的方式滑块恢复在前面的模型。
饰品
除了通常的快速入门小册子和AC适配器，Chromebook的不包含其他配件的。没有加密狗，没有恢复项目存在，所以创建系统备份，用户将不得不依靠第三方适配器和自己的USB记忆棒。这是相对于前代机型，亲切扔在每次购买一个VGA适配器。额外的配件，如码头和二次电池，是超出范围的Chromebook的。
保
标准的12个月的制造商有限保修适用于没有2年或3年的扩展选项可以从其他大多数主要制造商的Chromebook。作为激励买家登记与三星的Chromebook，用户可以增加他们的保修期为3个月，15个月的保修期。
Chrome Browser and Chrome OS
The functionality and appearance of Chrome are practically one-to-one with the same browser for the Windows platform. Instead, it is everything outside of the browser that may feel new and foreign to those who are not familiar with Chrome. But, because of its small scale and simplicity, Chrome OS has one of the lowest learning curves with the least amount of hiccups.
The Chrome Web Store is as integral to Chrome OS as the Play Store is to the Android platform. Since most programs designed for Windows or Mac will not install on the notebook, users will be downloading many of their programs and apps directly from the Web Store including utilities, editing software, extensions, movies and games. The store shares many similar apps with the Play store, but lacks most of the apps designed specifically for touchscreen or smartphone use. In other words, frequent users of Chrome will become accustomed to the core design of the Google operating system more quickly than others.
For storage, the Samsung Chromebook gets away with a paltry 16 GB SSD by encouraging users to use Google Drive, the search giant’s own Cloud storage service that will replace Google Docs. 5 GB of storage is offered for free, so don’t expect to be saving too many music or movie files in the cloud as the service is geared more towards saving documents and spreadsheets. As such, we had no problems opening Word and Excel files and the occasional .jpeg, .png, .pdf, .mp3 and .mp4. Unfortunately, expect imperfect conversions of larger and more complex Office files.
Chrome浏览器的功能和外观实际上是一个在Windows平台上使用相同的浏览器之一。相反，它是新的和外国对那些不熟悉的Chrome浏览器，可能会觉得外面的一切。但是，由于其规模小，简单，Chrome操作系统有一个学习曲线的最低金额打嗝的最低。
Chrome Web Store是播放存储整合到Chrome OS是Android平台的。由于大多数专为Windows或Mac的程序将无法安装在笔记本电脑上，用户将可以下载许多程序和应用程序直接从网上商店，包括公用事业，编辑软件，扩展，电影和游戏。这家商店股份与Play商店中的许多类似的应用程序，但最缺乏的专为触摸屏或智能手机使用的应用程序。换句话说，Chrome浏览器的用户将习惯于频繁，比别人更快的谷歌操作系统的核心设计。
在存储方面，三星的Chromebook得到了微不足道的16 GB SSD鼓励用户使用搜索巨头的谷歌驱动器，自己的云存储服务，将取代谷歌文档。 5 GB的存储空间是免费提供的，所以不要指望节省太多的音乐或电影文件在云中的服务更适合于保存文档和电子表格。因此，我们没有遇到任何问题，打开Word和Excel文件和偶尔的JPEG，PNG，PDF，MP3，MP4。不幸的是，预计不完善更大和更复杂的Office文件转换。
Video and Photo
We test both 720p and 1080p performance on Youtube with trailers from The Dark Knight Rises and The Avengers. 720p playback was smooth during both trailers with minimal dropped frames and in-sync sounds. Full HD playback was tested on an external display and can be a bit less fluid at times, but this occurs infrequently enough to still be suitable for viewing. This is compared to the 2011 Samsung Chromebook with the dual-core Atom N570, which is unable to play 1080p files without significant frame skips. The DisplayPort will automatically output the maximum resolution of the external monitor by pressing Ctrl + ‘Full Screen’ and although the notebook can mirror to an external display, it cannot extend its desktop throughout multiple monitors.
Photos and picture browsing will default to Google’s built-in photo and video player and can upload to Picasa should the user have a linked account. Likewise, photos from Picasa can be saved to the notebook or exported to Google Drive directly. Otherwise, local files, cloud files and USB files can be transferred to and fro without hassles. Photoshop Express Editor will work with Chrome, but a large number of photo editing apps (PicMonkey, BeFunky, Sumo Paint, etc.) are also available in the Web Store.
我们测试YouTube上预告片黑暗骑士崛起“和”复仇者720p和1080p的性能。 720P播放流畅的在这两个拖车用最少的掉帧和同步的声音。全高清播放的外接显示器进行测试，可以少一点流体倍，但这种情况很少发生，足以适合观看。这相对于2011年的三星Chromebook的双核Atom N570，这是无法播放1080p文件，没有显着的跳帧。按按Ctrl+“全屏”，DisplayPort将自动输出的最大分辨率的外接显示器和笔记本电脑虽然可以反映到外部显示器，它可以不扩大其遍及多个显示器的桌面。
照片和图片浏览功能将默认为谷歌内置的照片和视频播放器，可以上传到Picasa的用户应该有一个链接的帐户。同样，从Picasa照片可以保存到笔记本或直接出口到谷歌驱动器。否则，本地文件，云文件，可以传输USB文件，来来回回不麻烦。的Photoshop Express编辑器将与Chrome，但大量的照片编辑应用程序（PicMonkey，BeFunky，相扑涂料等），也可在网上商店。
Mail and Office
If you already rely on Google Docs, Calender, Gmail, and other Google services, then everything will be immediately and easily accessible once the Google account is paired with the Chromebook. Without resorting to third-party apps, document editing will be done directly from the Chrome browser, so users should not expect any advanced or even intermediary features as found on Microsoft’s dedicated Office platform. For straightforward edits and notetaking, the Chromebook will be more than enough. For esoteric features and intricate spreadsheets, however, Chrome OS may not be the right answer.
如果你已经靠上的Gmail，日历，谷歌Docs，和其他的Google服务，那么一切都将立即轻松地访问与Chromebook的配对，一旦谷歌帐户。没有求助于第三方应用程序，文档编辑将直接从Chrome浏览器，用户不应该期望任何先进的甚至是中介的功能，微软的专用办公平台。对于简单的编辑和笔记，Chromebook的将是绰绰有余。深奥的功能和复杂的电子表格，但是，Chrome OS的可能不是正确的答案。
Input Devices
Keyboard
The non-backlit Chiclet keyboard (27.5 cm x 10.5 cm) is very basic in design and function since it loses the Windows key and F keys for dedicated function keys such as Back, Forward, Refresh, and brightness and volume control. The Search key replaces the usual location of the Caps Lock key, though users can easily toggle the behavior of the Search, Ctrl, and Alt keys in the Settings menu. The reduced number of keys helps tremendously in space – the keyboard feels larger than what we would expect from a 12.1-inch notebook. The only major change from the 2011 model is the size of the arrow keys as the Left and Right keys are now the same size as their Up and Down counterparts instead of being twice the size. The outcome is similar to some MacBook Pro models, complete with no dedicated PgUp or PgDown keys.
Ergonomically, the keys are on the spongy side and the depth is shallow. In fact, the feedback from the QWERTY keys is quite soft and can be used very quietly with some practice, though the space key is much louder in comparison to the rest of the keys. Noise-sensitive environments like meetings and classrooms will appreciate the reduced clatter, while typists and text-heavy workloads may find themselves craving for a desktop or external keyboard. As with most notebooks, users will eventually adjust to the sensitivity of the keyboard after everyday use.
Touchpad
For a 12.1-inch notebook, the chrome-lined touchpad on the 2012 Samsung Chromebook is very large at 10.5 cm x 6.5 cm. We have no particular qualms as general scrolling and movement are responsive without any onscreen mouse jitters. Multi-touch is also supported, but only up to two fingers for vertical scrolling – no pinch-to-zoom or anything fancy will work on default.
Feedback from clicking is solid and very satisfying and leaves a high quality impression. Keep in mind that clicking will always input a left click and can be a little on the loud side, so users must tap with two finger simultaneously to input a right click (or a single tap to left click). The simple feature works very well in practice and makes the Chromebook even easier to use.
键盘
无背光Chiclet键盘（27.5厘米x 10.5厘米）在设计和功能是非常基本的，因为它失去了Windows键和F键的专用功能键，如返回，前进，刷新，以及亮度和音量控制。 “搜索”键Caps Lock键取代通常的位置，虽然用户可以很容易地切换在“设置”菜单中的搜索，Ctrl和Alt键的行为。按键数量的减少有极大的帮助空间 - 比我们所预期的从12.1英寸笔记本的键盘手感。从2011年的模型是唯一的主要变化的大小，方向键的左，右按键大小相同设置上下对口，而不是两倍的大小。其结果是一些MacBook Pro机型类似，没有专门的PgUp或PgDown键键完成。
符合人体工程学中，键是海绵侧的深度浅。事实上，反馈的QWERTY按键比较软，可以用非常安静一些做法，但在其余的按键比较，空格键是更响亮。会议和教室等噪声敏感的环境中欣赏减少当啷一声，打字员和文本繁重的工作量可能会发现自己的台式机或外接键盘的渴望。正如大多数笔记本电脑，用户最终将调整后日常使用键盘的灵敏度。
触摸板
对于一款12.1英寸的笔记本电脑，铬内衬的触摸板，在2012年三星Chromebook是非常大的为10.5厘米×6.5厘米。我们有没有特别的疑虑作为滚动和运动的响应，没有任何屏幕上的鼠标抖动。还支持多点触控，但最多只有两个手指垂直滚动 - 默认情况下，将没有捏到变焦或任何幻想。
从点击的反馈是牢固的，非常满意，并留下高品质的印象。请记住，将总是为输入左击，可以是一个小响亮的，因此用户必须利用两个手指同时输入正确的点击（或一个单一的水龙头，左击）。简单的功能，工作在实践中的Chromebook更容易使用。
Display
The 1280x800 pixel resolution display is a step up from the 1366x768 resolution of the original Samsung Chromebook with slightly improved contrast levels. The manufacturer still promises 300 nits of brightness which the notebook delivers almost exactly according to our measurements.

The matte display allows for good outdoor usability when on high brightness settings similar to the previous Chromebook model, but the new matte bezel makes it even better by further reducing peripheral glare. The display will be adequately viewable should direct sunlight be unavoidable.

Performance
The insipid Intel Atom platform in the original Chromebook has been replaced with a newer model from the Celeron family, the dual-core Celeron 867. The CPU is rated slower than the Atom N570 (1.66 GHz vs. 1.3GHz) with less L2 cache and a higher TDP (8.5 W vs. 17 W), but its out-of-order execution, larger L1 and L3 cache sizes and Sandy Bridge-based architecture with integrated HD Graphics add up to improved performance per watt without significant (or any) sacrifices to battery life.
4 GB of DDR3 RAM comes standard for both the $450 and $550 models. Unfortunately, as with the 2011 Chromebook, the 2012 update was not designed to be easily serviceable to the end-user. The underside includes easy-to-reach screws if needed, but popping out the base will require more effort than usual because it is secured quite tightly to the rest of the notebook.

System Performance
We test application performance of the browser with the benchmark SunSpider JavaScript v0.9.1. The final score of 443.9 ms is a significant improvement over the original score of 1517 ms on the 2011 Chromebook and bests current tablets and smartphones such as the Nexus 7 (172289 ms) and third generation iPad (1870 ms) running the same benchmark.
Futuremark Peacekeeper, which tests HTML5 and other browser rendering abilities, returns a final score of 1601 points, over 200 points more than the previous Chromebook model and on par with the Fujitsu Stylistic Q550 Windows 7 tablet in the same benchmark running Chrome v12.
Subjectively, we experienced no stalls or freezes during our review time with the Chrome browser even with a dozen tabs opened at once. Small touches and animations are smooth and navigation never skips frames once the user becomes accustomed to all the special hotkeys and quirks of the Chromebook. Most everything feels instantaneous - even shutdowns and cold boot take a matter of seconds.

Emissions
System Noise
The low-power notebook emits almost no fan noise when idle or during typical word processing use. Noise does increase when under load which we mimicked by looping a 1080p video for over an hour, but the increase is so small (29 dB(A) when idle to 31 dB(A) under load) that the fan will not cause any sort of concern no matter the computer activity. Fan noise never shuts off and can always be heard running if the user is close enough to the rear vent, but the notebook can be more or less considered silent from a more reasonable distance.
系统噪声
低功耗的笔记本电脑在闲置时或在典型的使用文字处理，发出几乎没有风扇的噪音。噪声会增加负载下，我们模拟了一个多小时循环的一个1080p的视频的时候，但增加幅度如此之小（29分贝（A）在空闲时到31 dB（A）负载下），风扇不会造成任何形式的的关注，无论计算机活动。风扇噪音从来没有关闭，总是可以听到，如果用户运行的是足够接近的后气孔，但笔记本可以或多或少认为较合理的距离保持沉默。

Temperature
Surface temperature when idle is generally cool around the palm rests and front areas, but the rear can be noticeably warmer especially towards the bottom center. In contrast, the original Chromebook has its hottest quadrant closest to a corner. The repositioned vent grilles may explain the difference in hotspots between the two models. Nonetheless, average temperature around the front of the notebook changes very little when the notebook is stressed, which allows confortable typing and general use even when processor load is high. We were a bit worried about high surface temperatures due to the almost non-existent system noise, but the Chromebook has thoroughly impressed us in both categories.
温度
表面温度时，左右掌托和前闲着也是普遍降温，但后可以明显回暖，特别是对底部中心。与此相反，原始的Chromebook其最热的象限最靠近拐角。重新定位的排气格栅热点两种模式之间的差异可以解释。然而，平均笔记本计算机的前部的周围温度的变化非常小，当笔记本强调，它允许舒适打字和一般用途处理器的负荷，即使是高。我们有点担心由于几乎不存在系统噪声的表面温度高，但Chromebook的，彻底给我们留下了深刻的印象，这两类。
(+) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 38 °C / 100 F, compared to the average of 35.9 °C / 97 F, ranging from 21.4 to 59 °C for the class Subnotebook.
(+) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 39.8 °C / 104 F, compared to the average of 39.4 °C / 103 F
(±) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 32.1 °C / 90 F, compared to the device average of 30.8 °C / 87 F.
(+) The palmrests and touchpad are cooler than skin temperature with a maximum of 31.2 °C / 88.2 F and are therefore cool to the touch.
(-) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 28.3 °C / 82.9 F (-2.9 °C / -5.3 F).
Speakers
The Series 5 Chromebook sports stereo 2x2 W speakers located at the bottom left and bottom right corners. They face downwards at an angle towards the table instead of directly to the user, but sound quality is still above average especially for a $500 notebook. Volume at the halfway mark is very soft and really ramps up when close to maximum without significant distortions. Balance is acceptable and with no tinny high-pitched reproductions unlike the original Chromebook. Bass is still lacking, of course, so users can still use the 3.5 mm combo audio jack if preferred.
音箱
5系列Chromebook的运动立体声2×2 W扬声器位于左下角和右下角的坐标。他们面临着向下的角度对表，而不是直接向用户，但音质依然高于平均水平，特别是500美元的笔记本电脑。在半路标记的体积是非常柔软的，真正上升时关闭，以最大没有显著的扭曲的。平衡是可以接受的，不像原来的Chromebook没有自带高亢的复制品。当然，低音仍然缺乏，因此用户仍然可以使用组合的3.5毫米音频插孔首选。
Battery Life
To test WLAN runtime, we set the notebook to our standard 150 cd/m2 brightness (about the 66 percent brightness mark) and ran our usual script to simulate typical web browsing with the occasional Flash videos. The notebook squeezed an impressive 7 hours and 5 minutes before automatic sleep.
Minimum battery life was recorded with a looped 1080p video and at maximum screen brightness. The notebook was able to last for 3 hours and 41 minutes under these settings.
Needless to say, users can expect long hours from the 51 Wh 6800 mAh battery during light or heavy use. The notebook should also have no problems lasting throughout the work day for simple tasks such as browsing, document editing and the occasional Flash games or videos. What’s more impressive is that the notebook can achieve similar battery life results as the original Chromebook but with a lighter, smaller capacity internal battery (6800 mAh vs. 8200 mAh of the original).
为测试WLAN运行时，我们的笔记本电脑设置标准的150 cd/m2的亮度（约66％的亮度标记），运行我们的脚本程序来模拟典型的，偶尔有Flash视频的网页浏览。笔记本挤压印象深刻的7小时5分钟前自动休眠。
记录1080p的视频和一个环形的最大屏幕亮度最低的电池寿命。笔记本是在这些设置下，可以持续3小时41分钟。
不用说，用户可以预期从51瓦6800毫安时的电池长时间在轻或重的。笔记本应该也没有问题，持续整天的工作简单的任务，如浏览，文档编辑和偶尔的Flash游戏或视频。更令人印象深刻的是，笔记本电脑可以实现类似的电池寿命原来的Chromebook，但与一个打火机，小容量的内部电池（6800毫安和8200毫安时的原始）。
Verdict
As stated in the introduction, the Google Chromebooks target a very specific audience. The office worker that already uses Google services almost exclusively and is constantly working while traveling will find a lot to like about this new second generation model. The notebook does almost everything it is intended to do extremely well, including the simple-but-speedy UI, high screen brightness, glare-free display, great security and reliability, extremely long battery life, light weight, strong build, low emissions and a very large touchpad. For a $500 notebook, the Samsung 500C22 performs better than expected. We only wish the keyboard had been more solid and maybe even backlit.
Still, this is not your typical $500 notebook. Buyers must be aware that by going the Chromebook route, access to Windows or Mac-specific utilities and programs are mostly off limits. Instead, what the buyer gets is a nexus to Google services and apps and not much more. This makes the $500 asking price a lot harder to swallow for most users who want a more versatile jack of all trades notebook. For home use, a basic netbook may even be more appealing as it can access the same Google services as can a Chromebook but with the added benefits of software compatibility and better flexibility. In no situation does the Samsung Chromebook make for a good primary home computer.
The Chromebook can do very few things, but performs them just as well or even significantly better than can a more traditional notebook. Unless the buyer can justify relying on Google services for getting work done on a day-to-day basis, however, then much of the appeal of a Chromebook is gone. With this in mind, the notebook may be worth considering as a frustration-free secondary computer dedicated to surfing and office work.
在介绍中表示，谷歌Chromebooks针对一个非常具体的观众。上班族已经使用谷歌的服务几乎完全是不断努力在旅行时会发现有很多喜欢这个新的第二代车型。它的目的是做的非常好，包括简单而快速的UI，屏幕亮度高，无眩光显示屏，极大的安全性和可靠性，极长的电池寿命，重量轻，身材健硕，低排放，几乎所有的笔记本不一个非常大的触控板。 500美元的笔记本电脑，三星500C22表现好于预期。我们只希望更加坚实的，甚至背光的键盘。
不过，这是不是典型的$500笔记本电脑。购买者必须认识到，通过将Chromebook的路线，访问Windows或Mac专用的工具和方案大多是关闭的限制。相反，买方得到的是一个关系到Google的服务和应用程序并没有太大的。这使得500美元的要价吞了很多困难，对于大多数用户来说，谁想要一个更灵活的插孔各行各业笔记本。对于家庭使用，一个基本的上网本，甚至可能是更有吸引力的，因为它可以访问相同的Google服务作为一个Chromebook的，但软件的兼容性和更好的灵活性的好处。在任何情况下，三星的Chromebook做一个好的主家中的电脑。
的Chromebook可以做很少的事情，但其性能却与他们一样好，甚至比一个更传统的笔记本。除非买方能证明依靠谷歌服务工作的某一天到一天的基础上进行的，但是，那么多的Chromebook上的吸引力已经一去不复返了。考虑到这一点，可能是值得考虑的一种无奈的免费二级计算机专用冲浪和办公笔记本。
