Galaxy Chromebook 2 XE530QDA-KA1US 13.3" Touchscreen 2 in 1 Chromebook - Full HD - 1920 x 1080 - Intel Core i3 (10th Gen) i3-10110U 2.10 GHz - 8 GB RAM - Fiesta Red

I have had some very nice laptops that cost thousands of dollars. I also own a high-end Lenovo but this is my go-to. The Fiesta Red color is stunning. Boots up quickly, nice feel to the keys, track pad is responsive and the the screen is crystal clear yielding sharp, vibrant images. I don't need as much out of a laptop like I used to (I am retired), but I teach English in South America and do lots of very complex PowerPoints. You can run multiple screens simultaneously with videos, easy to splice, computer does not "hang" at all. We Chromebook lovers know how great Google OS is...excellent security, updates only require a re-boot, on-line and hard drive storage, excellent stability. Chromebooks have come a long way and are biting into the regular laptop market and this one may surprise you. The metal casing is protective and sturdy. Screen is versatile and opens fully to tablet form. Touchscreen is excellent...what else can I say. I will update if I run into any problems but at this point I have no issues. Before breaking the bank on a "regular" laptop (and then you are stuck with Microsoft Windows and the crazy updates that don't recognize your peripherals, screw up your drivers and generally suck), check out a good Chromebook. You will save lots of money and get a better machine with a better operating system that looks nice and performs.

This is the third laptop I have owned and I feel like it will last longer than the other two did. I did not really look that far in to this before purchasing it so the touch screen came as a pleasant suprise. I love using chromebooks and this one has no dissapointed. the battery lifw is superb and it lasts all day through my college classes and then some. However, I do not like that after dropping it once it has a sort of dent on the outside casing that marrs the red coloring. I would suggest buying a case to prevent that.
