- Model: XE303C12-A01US (hike!)
The Curious Call of Benjamin Bluffin'
Whenever we sell a bigger-ticket item, be it four-eared headphones, a Bluetooth wig sterilizer, or a laser badminton racquet, somebody yawns and shrugs and somehow types a comment in our forum while yawning and shrugging that goes something like:
“I’d be all over it if it cost less than $100.”
Oh, really? Would you now? Well, we’re calling that bluff. You better ask your credit-card company if they can break a hundred, because you won’t need an entire Benjamin to buy this Samsung Chromebook.
That’s right: you can get a fully functional little notebook with an 1366x768 11.6" screen, a 16GB solid state drive, two USB ports, an HDMI port, etc. all running on the Chrome OS, for a dollar amount in the high two digits.
It’s refurbished, yeah. It’s got a new silver “skin” (i.e. sticker) on it. It’s designed to work while connected to the Internet, so you do everything through the web or through apps. Did we mention it costs ninety-something dollars?
Where’s your blasé little comment now, Mr. Less Than $100? Put up your less-than-hundred bucks or shut up.
