$119 Samsung Chromebook 3

[tzais01]

Does this appear to be the same one that Best Buy will have for $139?  I see there are two model numbers of Chromebook 3.  One I see on BB website has 4 GB memory, and the Walmart one says 2GB memory.  The model numbers are different in the latter part K01US versus K02US.  Per the Samsung site, the K01 is 2GB and the K02 is 4. I know that often the items Walmart sells are unique to WM and aren't identical to model numbers elsewhere.  I'm not sure if I can tell ahead of time for sure what the memory is on the one WM is selling.

 

Looking for thoughts on this and whether the 4 GB versus 2GB is worth the extra $20.

The Walmart one is also 4GB.  It says expandable storage up to 2TB, but the memory is 4GB.

Anyone know how hard it is to put in a bigger hard drive?

The toy ad shows it at $169. Is it the same model just pre BF sale price?

If it's soldered in as many are now for these types of things it's pretty much impossible without a lot of knowledge and specialized tools.

You are right!  When I first looked, I was linked to another model.  Perfect and that makes it a much easier decision.

If you're looking to put in a bigger hard drive, a chromebook is not what you should be buying.  They are made for very light computer use and web surfing.

Is this chromebook what i may want for my 14 yr old daughter. She likes to surf the net and use for homework and save on her memory stick to bring back to school
