Perfect for Back to School: Chromebook Review and Giveaway

Disclosure: Staples sent me a Chromebook to review in exchange for my honest review. Keep reading to find out how one of you will win one!

chromebook review

I’m supposed to teach my kids to share.

But the one thing that I absolutely hate to share with them:  my laptop. I’ll hand over an iPad or even my phone, but I cringe at handing over my laptop, since I cannot live without it for work.

And though my boys know how to use a laptop and they are very careful, I still felt a bit cringe-y when they would use mine.

But, my first and third graders need to do some of their homework on a computer. Those sorts of homework assignments start in kindergarten at their school. They have to practice math on Sumdog, reading on Raz-Kids, spelling on Spelling City, plus type up different assignments to either print or e-mail their teachers. My oldest even has to watch some lessons online.

chromebook review

Add to that Reading Kingdom(that all three of my boys do to help improve their reading) and Book Adventure(where my oldest takes practice AR tests), and they need a quite a bit of computer time.

So the thought of getting a Samsung Chromebook from Staples for my boys to use as their laptop had them so excited they barely let our UPS guy out of his truck before they were asking if it was here yet. (Thankfully, our UPS guy is awesome and humors them. And he knows to only hand packages to me).

My boys have been using it for the past week, and here’s what we think of it so far:

Chromebook Pros:

Easy set up: I did set this up with one of my google accounts(my personal one, so my boys aren’t going into my work or blog email). It was extremely quick and easy.

Simple to use: You can click right to your email, google chrome, youtube, google search, or apps from the start bar. While yes, kids are so tech-savvy these days that they could pretty much figure anything out, it’s nice that there’s no learning curve here.

chromebook review

Google Chrome: While you don’t have to have a Chromebook to use Chrome, obviously, I do like how easy this browser is for my boys to use. I bookmarked all the sites they need for school(plus a few for fun- they love them some Club Penguin) and they can click to those right from the toolbar.

Google Docs: Anything my boys need to type up, they can do in google docs and either print or email to their teachers. I could not live without google docs and apparently I’m passing this obsession on to my boys early.

chromebook review

Portability: the Chromebook is only slightly larger in size than an iPad, so it can easily be taken anywhere. t’s 2.5 pounds and 0.8 inches thin. My third grader has to take a school-issued laptop back and forth to school and it is heavy and awkward. After using the Chromebook, I’m wondering why the school didn’t go with them instead. Honestly, I’d be super tempted to “borrow” this from my boys when I head out of town on my next trip.

The price: Okay, so I did get mine free. But, I had actually been looking at the Samsung Chromebook when we were doing back to school shopping, but it ended up at the bottom of our shopping list and got put off to the Christmas list. At $249, it’s a good deal.

Chromebook Cons:

The only problem we’ve encountered so far is that the mouse got stuck twice for a few minutes. Though my boys were easily able to fix it.

If you work on your computer all day long, with a million tabs open, this wouldn’t be the laptop for you. I did use it a bit this past week, just to get some personal experience with it to go along with what I saw my boys doing on it, and I couldn’t have this as my only laptop. However, for what the kids need for school (or what your casual computer user would need), the Samsung Chromebook is a great laptop.

    My boys are always fighting over the iPad. I would love for my oldest to start learning more about the computer, especially since they are using them in Kindergarten.

  2. Becky says

    October 3, 2013 at 9:40 am

    Oh man.. My son and I would fight over this for sure! It would help so much with trips to keep him busy, and me to get some work done!

  3. Anna Hettick says

    October 3, 2013 at 9:44 am

    Honestly I would probably use it as my laptop since I don’t have one yet. I want to eventually get a MacBook but this would be nice for right now. I’ve been using and old Ipad and sometimes it’s SO SLOW. 🙂

  4. Stacey says

    October 3, 2013 at 9:59 am

    My kids are constantly begging to use my laptop…but the thought of that makes me cringe!

  5. Meg says

    October 3, 2013 at 10:27 am

    I would use it to surf the web.

  6. Christina Linnell says

    October 3, 2013 at 10:31 am

    We have been considering getting a laptop for our daughter and this would be a fantastic entry point laptop. 

  7. Wendy Owen says

    October 3, 2013 at 10:52 am

    My daughter is in Nursing school and that would be perfect

  8. Ash says

    October 3, 2013 at 11:00 am

    I’m laughing because my iPad won’t let me enter. Off to archaic desktop – my technology homework kids need this! Thanks.

  9. Michaela says

    October 3, 2013 at 11:03 am

    My kids would use this to do kindergarten homework. Thanks for the giveaway!

  10. Tracie says

    October 3, 2013 at 11:12 am

    I have that same cringe feeling whenever I have to hand over my laptop, and it is happening more and more often these days. My daughter would definitely get a ton of use out of this for her homeschool work that needs to be done on the computer. 

  11. Dianne says

    October 3, 2013 at 11:33 am

    Oh this would be fantastic for us in our house. We currently have one laptop that is old as dirt and my boys are limited as to what they can do. Seriously. Even me am limited to what I can do. 

  12. Andrea says

    October 3, 2013 at 11:40 am

    Right now my daughter is using a pretty chunky laptop (or snagging mine!). So I might give it to her. BUT my mom really needs a new laptop. Like yesterday. So it’d probably be headed that way.

  13. Janet Gonzalez says

    October 3, 2013 at 11:45 am

    Great review!! I’d definitely consider a Chromebook over a tablet after reading this. Thanks for the excellent consumer guidance! 🙂

  14. Chris Carter says

    October 3, 2013 at 11:45 am

    OH man… this would be FREAKING AWESOME!!!!! Pick me!!! PICK ME RAFFLECOPTER!!!

  15. Janet Gonzalez says

    October 3, 2013 at 11:51 am

    Also, I was trying to enter my Pinterest username up there, but it shut me out before I was finished. *huffs and puffs* I’ll just go over to Pinterest myself and follow you that way. 🙂 (Janet Gonzalez/passoonofthemom)

  16. Jessie C. says

    October 3, 2013 at 12:03 pm

    I would use it for reading and watching movies.

  17. Melissa @ Home on Deranged says

    October 3, 2013 at 12:06 pm

    My wee ones are in love with the iPad, but at the moment, it is primarily for learning games. I’d love to let them work with the laptop to use some of the more sophisticated learning software/sites that are out there.

  18. Anita Yancey says

    October 3, 2013 at 12:14 pm

    They would use it to help with homework and to look up things for school.

  19. JDaniel4's Mom says

    October 3, 2013 at 12:37 pm

    Wow! This sounds wonderful. I have been looking for a laptop!

  20. JDaniel4's Mom says

    October 3, 2013 at 12:38 pm

    I would use work on blog posts while on the go.

  21. Julia says

    October 3, 2013 at 12:41 pm

    It would be nice to have one for when my son is a bit older.

  22. Duffy says

    October 3, 2013 at 12:49 pm

    I have a Chromebook that I love. I would love to have one I could let my kids use to learn computer skills.

  23. Kelly says

    October 3, 2013 at 1:12 pm

    As our home computer just bit the dust, this would go a LONG way with our high school student and homework he needs to do! 🙂

  24. Margaret Smith says

    October 3, 2013 at 1:36 pm

    If I won, this would be for my teen son. This would be perfect for his doing homework and also to bring to school. What a super prize. Thanks you so much.

  25. Amber says

    October 3, 2013 at 2:48 pm

    Thank you! Our electronics are dying so we could really use one of these. My son would use it for typing reports and playing games. He’s in middle school now, land of reports..

  26. Adrienne says

    October 3, 2013 at 3:01 pm

    OMG! I need this! What an awesome opportunity for you and us!). Thanks for hosting! 

  27. steph says

    October 3, 2013 at 3:31 pm

  28. Maureen G says

    October 3, 2013 at 3:47 pm

    The Chromebook is perfect for searches and topics when essays are required

  29. Roxanne says

    October 3, 2013 at 3:58 pm

    Now that my son is in first grade, he is having to log into certain sites to get homework done (Scootpad). I don’t mind him using my laptop, but then I can’t use it while he is. I think it’d be nice to have something that is “his” that he can use for his homework, and the occasional playing. Then I can distract him with one while I get some blogging/writing/Pinterest pinning done.

  30. liberty thompson says

    October 3, 2013 at 3:59 pm

    The Chromebook looks fantastic and I would definitely use this because I am going back to school next fall! Thanks!

  31. Elena says

    My son would use this for his homework

  32. Jaque R. says

    October 3, 2013 at 4:16 pm

    My kids would use it to write papers and other homework…including research as needed. I would love to take it with me when I travel…to keep connected. 🙂 Thank you.

  33. Malissa says

    October 3, 2013 at 4:39 pm

    My kids would use this for their virtual school instead of using mine 🙂 then I could keep mine for my own school work.

  34. Natasha says

    October 3, 2013 at 5:20 pm

    This would be perfect for my son!

  35. Susan S. says

    October 3, 2013 at 5:26 pm

  38. Linda Szymoniak says

    October 3, 2013 at 6:38 pm

    I have a laptop for my personal use, but since starting my dog rescue, I could really use a separate laptop to be able to keep track of our files and be able to take it with me to events, etc.  Winning this laptop would be a real godsend!

  39. Kelly D says

    October 3, 2013 at 7:22 pm

    October 3, 2013 at 10:00 pm

    WE have 5 people and 2 computers and with 3 kids in school and needing to complete assignments it is hard to make sure everyone gets enough time. We would use it for homework & online games for kids. I would use  it to pay bills, email, do photo stuff, blog, shop online, pinterest. and everything else one could use a computer for.

  42. Brandi says

    October 3, 2013 at 10:26 pm

    I would love this for my daughter to start learning how to use the computer. 🙂
