Hmm... I wonder if I should finally upgrade my Acer C11. This looks pretty fantastic.
I don't need a laptop right this second but this thing is really nice.
Wish it had a backlit keyboard though.
The appeal of a chromebook to me is that they're budget barebones laptops. As a student, the chromebooks priced below $200 are the only ones even worth considering for purchase.
Or pay a little over $500 for a Lenovo Yoga laptop.To each their own. To me it is the light OS and lack of Windows updates/bloat. Will gladly pay $450 for a nicer machine.
Very sad. Importing it is

Just for kicks I checked out old Pixel prices. The 2013 model is down to mid-$300 range on amazon. That's not bad. About $100 off the Plus.
I'm with you. The stylus features are a selling point for me. The Pixel remains a compelling option for those who are okay with a more typical Chromebook experience.I considered this but i would imagine the touch latency and sensitivity for multi touch gestures is improved on the samsung
The touch screen seems very important to me given that I am expecting to use apps from the play store. I am willing to be that many dont translate well to mouse/kb.
I am just a little annoyed they went with eMMC given that this seems to be the vanguard device for the fleet of next gen chromebooks., unless google is launching their own machine at I/O in June.
Don't see any real reason that Android apps on a bigger screen is much of a selling point
I'd be buying for the Chromebook, in which case there are cheaper and still good options.
Super, super tempted to buy this to replace my Chromebook Flip. I've always wanted a (relatively) inexpensive laptop I could use for digital art, and this looks like the perfect option for me.
Any reason to wait for the Pro Core M3 version over the Plus and its ARM processor? How much of a difference is there between the two processors?
I could probably afford to wait and spend $100 more. I jumped on the 2GB Flip and wound up kicking myself for it not long after, since that's not nearly enough memory. If a slower processor means more lag in drawing, maybe I'll wait for the Pro.
God I would have loved something like this in college. Kids these days have it so good.
Any reviews hit yet?
Been really interested in seeing this in action since the announcement.
Can they run Steam (for streaming games from a real computer)? Is the Creative Suite available on them?
I almost pulled the trigger on the Chrombook Plus today. I will wait for a sale though. At $350, it is a no-brainer, but $450 makes me pause.
Best Buy has a deal for basically $100 off the regular price if you trade in any working laptop. So even if its old as long as it is something they can manually put in it should work as it did for me. The deal is basically they will give you at least 50 for your trade plus a coupon for 50% off.
android apps?
can it run Pokemon go?
Do you have a link for this? I'd be interested in this deal.
Also, amazing reviews have been pretty mixed. Makes me a bit nervous.
My patience with Google has expired, was holding off getting my next laptop hoping this would be available in Canada without me jumping though hoops to get it as it looks great.
To date, they sell a whopping 5 Chromebooks (all old) from their Canadian store.
Loved my Chromebox and older chromebook but it's clear they will remain US centric for a while to come
