Background

Released in October 2012, the Samsung Chromebook Series 3 has a Samsung Exynos 5 Dual 1.7Ghz CPU with 2GB of memory and 16GB for storage. With its small 11.6-inch screen and Google Chrome OS, this silver-colored Chromebook provides basic access to the Internet for people on the go. Alongside Internet browsing, web apps provide access to common utilities.

One complaint about the Samsung Chromebook Series 3 is that the processor is not very strong compared to other popular Chromebooks, so you can't keep too many browser tabs open without noticing a slowdown.
