80% Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus review: A lightweight Chromebook with a little extra
Source: Laptop Mag EN→zh-CN
It's clear Chromebooks are entering new territory. While Samsung's Galaxy Chromebook Plus isn't the first premium Chromebook, it's probably the best. This year's addition avoids the $1,000 price tag and delivers a more than serviceable laptop for web browsing and general computing needs with some perks to really love — being thin and light with a screen that's big and bright. If you want to save some money, you could pick up the Acer Chromebook Plus 515 for $299 at Best Buy or the HP Chromebook Plus 14a for around $400 but just know that you’ll be sacrificing some performance and also won’t be able to take advantage of the Galaxy Chromebook Plus’ class-beating weight and thinness. If you need a portable machine that's lightweight and versatile for web browsing, word processing, and what most might consider everyday internet usage, then the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus is a solid option.

90% Review: Samsung's Galaxy Chromebook Plus is the best I've used in years

Chromebooks aren't for everyone, but for those looking for the OS's simpleness or its expansive support for Linux and Android, the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus feels like the first Chromebook to nail the experience. Sure, this laptop is still running ChromeOS, so you'll have to deal with Manifest V3 and its limitations in Chrome (since there is no way to change the browser), but the overall polish is hard to deny. Despite the large screen, the hardware is slick and plenty portable, offering the build quality everyone expects from Samsung. The software finally feels focused, where even Android and Linux apps don't look especially out of place. At the same time, the lack of a high-refresh rate feels like an odd choice at this price point.

But those cut corners are pretty minimal in my book. I can upgrade to a USB webcam if I need to, I don’t listen to a ton of audio directly from any Chromebook, and I don’t actually use a numeric keypad very often. If those things are deal-breakers for you, take note. I don’t point them out just because I’m looking for something to nitpick – they are all legitimately sub-par for a device that is otherwise wonderful to use. And I really do mean that last bit. For a person like me, this Chromebook simply nails the necessities so well that I can simply overlook the stuff it doesn’t excel at. With this chassis, screen, keyboard, trackpad and performance, the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus has been a real joy to use for me.

80% Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus review: Slim, sleek, and powerful
Source: PC World EN→zh-CN
The Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus is an exciting, if not explosive entry in the world of Chromebooks. It’s almost paper thin, making it a fantastic portable option for those who are always on-the-go, and it’s so lightweight you’ll barely notice it’s there inside your bag. While day-to-day performance is lightning fast and the unique colorway will no doubt turn heads, you’ll be in for a learning curve with the keyboard and the Quick Insert key is hardly a necessary feature. The AMOLED display, though it produces a beautiful picture, doesn’t have touch capabilities, which is a disappointment given the high price of this machine. The Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus is a near-perfect device, but the cost ($699.99 at MSRP) is a little too high for a laptop without a touchscreen, a premium feature I’d expect to see in this price range.

This lightweight laptop has one of the best displays I've seen - and it's very affordable

Samsung's Galaxy Chromebook Plus is one of the best Chromebooks I've had the chance to test, and I recommend it for anyone that wants an ultraportable device with a brilliant display. This is the Chromebook that's leading the charge with all the new AI-powered features, so if you're an AI power user, or a fan of ChromeOS for work or play, this is the device for you. The hardware on board this device is optimized for work-related tasks, browsing, and some light creative work, and the display is just premium enough to make for an all-around enjoyable experience, while keeping the price to an agreeable $699.

80% I love the ultra-thin Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus for its display and design, but is that enough?

Ultimately, that’s the decision you need to make here. Remember that the software features are the same across all Chromebook Plus machines. Ignoring the fact that Samsung added a Quick Insert key to launch the feature of the same name, all other Chromebook Plus systems can do everything this Samsung model can. So it really comes down to spending $700 on a beautiful, impossibly thin and light machine with an OLED display or spending a similar amount of money on something that’s thicker and heavier but more utilitarian. Plus, while artists might prefer the Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 714 because of its stylus support, and gamers might like something more in line with the Acer Chromebook 516 GE ($649.99 at Acer) because of its RGB keyboard lights and 120Hz display refresh rate.

90% Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus review: Setting a new standard
Source: Android Central EN→zh-CN
It's been two years since Samsung's last Chromebook was released, and three years since its last premium offering. The Galaxy Chromebook Plus looks to offer an excellent experience for $700 and manages to do so with ease. It's thinner and lighter than some tablets but doesn't make many sacrifices in order to achieve its goals. There's a lot to like about the Galaxy Chromebook Plus, but there are a few irritations and frustrations to be found. These include things like the lack of a fingerprint scanner, the display isn't a touchscreen, and a few others. Nevertheless, Samsung managed to check a lot of the boxes that we look for in premium Chromebooks, and the Galaxy Chromebook Plus is a strong contender for the best Chromebook.
