I don't really know enough computer/computerese to compare much. I had another Chromebook previously, that worked well for me. Found this one with a good deal, and I had just had to get a new phone which was also Samsung, so they work well together; that is, as much as I can tell, not being more computer and phone savvy.
I got a good deal, it works for me, also has more memory than my previous; so I am very happy with it.
