Great for multi-purpose use, this lightweight and stylish Samsung Chromebook XE303 is powered by a Samsung Exynos 5 Dual 1.5 - 1.7 GHz processor, Google Chrome OS.

 

At 2.4 pounds and measuring 11.4 x 8.1 x 0.7 inches, the Chromebook is slightly smaller than its predecessor, the Series 5 550, which measured 11.5 x 8.5 x 0.8 inches and weighed more than the new Series 3. We're not, however, as enamored with the design. When closed, the Chromebook's hinge forms a small ridge along the back side, which mars its otherwise smooth exterior.

This Chromebook is also slightly lighter than the Acer Aspire One 722, which weighs 3 pounds and measures 11.5 x 8.5 x 0.8 inches. We also liked the touch of color on the 722, especially when compared to the comparatively boring silver plastic covering the Chromebook.

The 11.6-inch matte LED display on the Chromebook Series 3 has a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels, giving this notebook a higher resolution than the 12.1-inch 1280 x 800-pixel Samsung Chromebook Series 5 550 display, despite the smaller size.
