IT Reviews have published a review of the Samsung Series 5 Chromebook. 'The idea behind the Samsung Series 5 Chromebook is that people don't really need anything stored locally any more. They can do everything they want to 'in the cloud' - which means using resources stored remotely, and accessed via the web. So. Google's Chrome operating system is all you get, and it really wants to spend its life online. Now, the Chromebook has a USB port and an SD card slot, and it will read some file formats, but not very many. We couldn't get it to open Word or RTF files, though it didn't mind PDFs and common image and video formats. We couldn't get our Chromebook to save anything we downloaded from the web to a SD card or USB stick either. And there is just 16GB of internal storage.
