Can Google asistent

Didn’t even notice, that’s awful

@Jieon Choi Still $899

@Kev Lew you can get a student discount.

M1 Macbook Air starts at $1000. The discounted models ($699 during the holidays, around $799 now) are the older i3 Macbooks.

That laptop costs 1000$+

While I totally agree, maybe she can improve with her work and give better reviews in the future!

Totally agree. I've been so accustomed to reviews done by Dieter, Becca, and Ashley which are so well crafted and presented. This one just didn't have that balance of information and entertainment.

Not everyone wants a MacBook.

@PocariPocari I see. It's just comparing the M1 with Intel i3... it's like trying to win a bike vs Mustang at full speed race.. lol

even with the m1's release you can run ios and ipad apps sure, but imagine the mac having a touchscreen. It would be the perfect device.

@Tim C I think must is an exaggeration, but because so many devices are touch-enabled nowadays, folks that only have a phone or never owned a traditional laptop would have a much easier time. I think of older people and tablet use. Artists could benefit from drawing directly on the screen. I imagine student work could see benefits as well. Ever try annotating a pdf? lol

@PocariPocari In what situation is touchscreen a must?

Well not as much as a io shield being called a brace

It's bold! It's fierce! It makes a statement whilst out on the town!!!! Lol

nah she alright

Ikr

That's why I am holding onto my 2019 MacBook. I prefer the butterfly keyboard over the new keyboard on the 2020 MacBooks.

You get better silicon. Who cares about the logo anyway.

Don't those START at $999? For a laptop that is NOT touchscreen, and is NOT 2-1 convertible to tablet mode. But you do get that Apple logo on the back, which seems to be the main selling point.

yup for 549? not bad. Great screen but wish it had an ARM chip...😞

@Sebastian Remi dude I'm not annoyed, just wondering, i do think the video would feel more simeless and natural if it was removed, espacialy for the benefit of Samsung.

I mean most of The Verge reviewers are Apple sheeps so fair enough

@Sebastian Remi he didnt say he was annoyed, you are overly negative

This video was made at a product show case at CES2021, where MANY reporters come to make reviews. Does verge have some unknown privilege for Samsung to remove the anti theft cable only for them? nope. Maybe you should ask Verge to actually get a sponsored product to review it if you are so annoyed by the anti theft cable... so entitled sheesh.

@KEN BEE I don’t see the issue

@NoHomework16 It doesn't? She was making a preview of a product....and its strapped to a table the whole time

Doesn’t impact the video on any way BUT FOR THE LOVE OF JEEZ 😂😂😂

@KEN BEE it's a virtualization software

Parallels?

@Malte Laurids Brigge if only google put an effort into the software instead of stretching pre existing android software and dedicated themselves on creating an actual flagship device this could justify the overblown price of this chromebooks.

@jon wik exactly! Because 90% of people do NOT need more than that, which would only complicate what little computing they do. I used to do sites and all manner of things but now I don't and rarely if ever find a chromebook lacking. Sometimes I need to find a different way to do something but generally what I can't do I don't need to do. So I just open it, sign in, save things online, and that's it. I regularly drown laptops somehow so... Get another chromebook, sign in, and... There you go, it's all back where it was. People who criticize Chromebooks for being incapable of doing anything are generally devs and/or people who have never used one. I had a Pixelbook for 2+ years I think and now need to find something new. It might be the Samsung though I wish it was higher end, I think they dropped the specs too low. I like the HP c1101 or whatever it's called? Nice specs anyway.

tbh these chrome books do look great and has decent specs but u cant do a lot with chrome os. Its like having steam engine in lamborghini.

Old and more powerful laptops can be even cheaper

Yes 😅

for 550 you can get a windows laptop with a ryzen 5 4500u, 8gb of ram and 256gb ssd... admittedly it's gonna be all plastic and have a mediocre screen, but this doesn't seem like it's worth it at all

? It's a public place

Yes That's what you do when your business competitor gets ahead Quit and go away 🙂

no one cares 😂

@Vikram Balakrishnan google should have a webcam add on software for all

It still has a web cam, she means that you cant take a selfie when its on tablet mode

@Vikram Balakrishnan ahhhhhhhhhh okay. Thanks for the clarification.

@Vikram Balakrishnan thanks for the clarification, I was wondering if she misspoke and meant a rear-facing camera.

there's still a camera at the top of the screen for video calls (you can see it in the video). she's talking about a second camera in the keyboard the samsung galaxy chromebook had that let you take pictures easily while in tablet mode.

@RoshanGamer never said it made sense. I have no idea why they made those choices other than to cut costs. I'm sure there are better profit margins at the $999 price level, but you'll sell a LOT more units at around $499. So it's not ULTRA-premium, but still up there with other premium Chromebooks like the Pixelbook Go.

@Josh Witte the second gen went from 4k to 1080p and they also removed the front facing camera. Wow very good samsung😐

You seem pretty uninformed. These have been around since the original Pixelbook. Obviously there is a market for premium Chromebooks or else manufacturers wouldn't continue to make them.

🙄

This whole video was pedantic and condescending.

@Josh Witte the webcam is terrible

@Vikram Balakrishnan Just want to understand why would that be a 'front facing' camera when in Tablet Mode... As Josh mentioned, so confusing.

There is a webcam on the front screen. They're referring to a 2nd camera in the keyboard they had on gen1 that allows easy taking of pictures/video from tablet mode.

Apparently that's a video from their Samsung Chromebook (gen 1) review. Yes, it's confusing. This whole video is confusing.
