everybody loves getting a great deal
0:15
whether it's on a purchase as large as a
0:17
house or something as small as a pair of
0:18
shoes we all love getting more than what
0:20
we paid for and Samsung is betting on
0:22
this with it's Chromebook 3 Samsung is
0:25
attempting to deliver a device that's
0:27
usable in pretty much every function
0:30
while still maintaining a very very low
0:32
price point does it succeed the short
0:35
answer is yeah it does everything okay
0:39
it gets by just fine and at its low
0:41
price point of
0:42
$169 marked down to $119 on Black Friday
0:47
this device delivers quite a bit of bang
0:49
for the
0:50
buck Samsung has managed to do is pack
0:52
in a pretty decent experience into the
0:54
Chromebook 3 while still offering a
0:56
device at a cost that makes you feel
0:58
pretty comfortable with putting it
0:59
through hell and not really giving much
1:01
thought to its demise it's what I like
1:02
to call disposable Tech and the feeling
1:04
it gives you is pretty awesome now we'll
1:06
get through some normal review Parts
1:07
here and if you came here for the specs
1:09
let me just lay those out real quickly
1:10
it's a 1366 X 768 LED TN display and
1:15
those notoriously are bad at viewing
1:17
angles and pretty much every other thing
1:18
displays are supposed to be good at 2
1:20
gigs of RAM 16 gigs of emmc storage
1:23
Intel brazwell 3050 two USB 2.0 not 3.0
1:27
ports a fullsize HDMI out micro SD card
1:30
slot 12-hour battery and a water
1:33
resistant keyboard this device doesn't
1:35
do much out of the ordinary it is the
1:36
lowest common denominator of Chromebooks
1:39
it contains the lowest amount of RAM and
1:40
storage on offer the cheapest TN display
1:43
you can expect on cheap devices and last
1:45
gen Port selection there's no USBC or
1:48
3.0 available here this thing is adept
1:50
at just enough and basically when the
1:53
price dips this low though just enough
1:55
becomes quite enough because the Samsung
1:58
Chromebook 3 sticks to the stat quo in
2:00
every way there's little need to go
2:02
through the normal review points here
2:03
this thing is a Chromebook distilled
2:05
down to its most basic simplistic form
2:08
apart from the water resistant keyboard
2:10
it has no tricks up its sleeve the
2:11
keyboard and trackpad are decent along
2:13
with the overall build it is all plastic
2:16
but it's not super cheap feeling the
2:17
screen resolution is all you really need
2:19
in an 11.6 in laptop but the quality of
2:22
that screen is actually pretty bad so
2:25
bad in fact that it's almost impossible
2:28
to find a screen angle where the entire
2:29
screen is in the optimal viewing range
2:32
slight movements in any direction invert
2:34
screen colors and drastically lose
2:36
brightness TN panels are bad in general
2:39
and this is one of the worst brightness
2:42
is pretty poor as well it is usable in
2:44
the way that a $5 flimsy tripod can hold
2:47
your camera it does the job but the
2:49
experience of getting a job done is an
2:51
exercise and patience but we all love
2:53
deals and the magic here is the price
2:56
when we look at mediocrity it's easy to
2:59
judge and critique Peak yet the second
3:00
we talk about $169 price tag that's only
3:03
getting lower for the holidays many
3:05
issues and frustrations begin to lose
3:07
their Edge we begin to see through
3:08
another lens the lens of worth if I pay
3:11
$500 for a car that takes me around town
3:13
and takes care of getting all the
3:14
day-to-day stuff out of the way but it's
3:17
boring and Rusty and unattractive I can
3:18
Overlook those things because of the
3:20
perceived worth the price changes the
3:22
lens that I see my purchase through and
3:24
the same can be said of the Chromebook 3
3:27
it's simple usable and kind of slow but
3:29
it can get the job done it's one of the
3:30
slowest Chromebooks I've used it has one
3:32
of the worst displays I've used but it's
3:34
paired with a competent trackpad and
3:36
keyboard and bottom line it can get the
3:38
job done if you need a device for the
3:40
kids an older relative or just one to
3:42
toss around the house or use on quick
3:44
webbased task the Samsung Chromebook 3
3:46
could be a great fit for you it's not
3:48
going to replace a work computer or an
3:49
entertainment machine but for what it is
3:51
it could be a fantastic secondary device
3:53
around the home or office and if you
3:56
don't care for it that much you break it
3:58
or you misplace it just remember it
3:59
didn't cost you very much there are very
4:01
few useful tech devices that can claim
4:03
that and that simple truth is the real
4:05
magic of Samsung's affordable Chromebook
4:07
3 so is the Samsung Chromebook 3 the
4:11
best at anything not
4:14
really but if you know that going into
4:16
it if you realize what it is you're
4:18
buying and you look at this thing
4:20
through the lens of its actual worth at
4:22
$169 and soon to be
4:25
cheaper then you actually find that
4:27
you're getting something that's worth a
4:28
lot more than you would expect for $169
4:31
and you're finding a piece of tech for a
4:33
cheap price that can actually get some
4:35
things done guys if you like this video
