Samsung Chromebook + Samsung Galaxy Y - €285.25 [Amazon FR]

Allyall

May not be the greatest ever deal, and more along the lines, 'if you're buying one anyway'..

Samsung Galaxy Y is €79 on Carphone Warehouse

Samsung Chromebook is €299 on Play.com

£229.99 (€272) on Amazon UK

Samsung Chromebook 11.6" Wifi + Samsung Galaxy Y (White) - €285.25 (€303.36 Delivered)




You could probably sell the Samsung Galaxy Y for ~ €60 if you wanted to..

I bought the Samsung Chromebook a few weeks ago on Amazon for 190 pound.
Super machine, highly recommended.

Exynos is a series of ARM-based System-on-Chips (SoCs) developed and manufactured by Samsung Electronics and is a continuation of Samsung's earlier S3C, S5L and S5P line of SoCs.
Chromebooks are fast to use, and don't slow down over time. They have built-in security, so you're protected against viruses and malware. They come with apps for all your everyday needs, and keep your files safely backed up on the cloud. And with free, automatic updates, your Chromebook keeps getting better and better.

I think its important to mention that the Chromebook runs Chrome OS and is not a windows device so you can forget microsoft word etc.

If you are looking for something solely for internet services and are used to the chrome browser then its a very good machine.

Nice one Allyall,

Was in the market for both a handy android and a small net book and now have both boxes nicely ticked.

Cheers

Beware, French keyboard layout is differing to Irish/UK.
whether that chrome book is qwerty or not I couldn't tell you, worth double checking though

Reviewer says the models sold on french sites and shops are AZERTY:
"Je souhaite aussi préciser que le modèle en vente sur les sites français et dans les magasins sont bien en AZERTY!"

Galaxy Y screen is too small its miserable to use, you'd be lucky to get 40 euro for it.

Not worth the bundle imo.

If you watch the amazon price with camelcamelcamel you should be able to get it without the phone for €230 or less.

Thats £230 stg.

clavier qwerty. je ne l'ai pas vu mentionner dans l'annonce, ce serait juste bien de le préciser.
Sinon rien à redire +++

"It is a qwerty keyboard. I have not seen mentioned in the announcement, it would be just nice to say.
Otherwise nothing wrong +++"


The Galaxy sells for €50 - €60 Check out adverts.ie
One asking for €33, that's either a scam or the phone is in bits, if you bought the bundle, yours would be brand new, or they just want fast cash.

Also, i wouldn't equate phone prices with France. They have their own brands over there that also sell well.. Namely Wiko. What i mean is, A good Wiko/other brand would be the same price.
i.e. They have a much more competitive market.



It may be an Azerty keyboard, but i checked it out beforhand and the only review that mentioned it, stated it was QWERTY. TBH, it wouldn't bother me, but like i said, if you are buying one anyway, i think this is a good price.

If you look at the graph on camelcamelcamel its been £191.88 ~ €230 about 14 days in the last 30 so it will likely be again soon thats why I said watch the price.

Meaning it's an Irish/UK keyboard layout.

That wasn't my reading of it I assumed he was including amazon.fr from 'french sites'.

Lots of people asking that money an lots of 'still for sale posts' €40 is the going rate around here for one. You can get them on o2 for 49.99 with a possible €12 back through fatcheese.
