Took me a couple of tries to find someone who had it in stock (pre-ordered one from Amazon but they've yet to get them in stock - at least last time I checked)...was able to get one from NewEgg (but now they're showing them backordered).
I don't know if they're like super-uber-ridiculously popular...so they're sold out. Or if Samsung has decided to only make 9 of them.
None the less, I got one!
So far, I'm loving it. I had/have an older Chromebook and absolutely loved the streamlined simplicity of it. And loved having a machine that didn't have one single line of Microsoft-written code on it.
My old Chromebook was a little sluggish at times but, it got the job done. The Pro, however. Man, this sucker flies.
Loving being able to use it as a tablet. Also, I've learned that I can fold it 3/4 the way around, lay it keyboard-side down, and it's a great little media player (speakers don't sound half bad, and they're pretty loud.)
Have dabbled with the stylus but, the software doesn't quite seem fully-baked yet. Haven't looked too far into options but, it seems to take everything you do with the stylus and dump it into Google Keep...which I've never used, and seems to be compatible with exactly nothing else. I did a screen cap, then wrote on it, and wanted to send that to a friend. It took me like 30 minutes to figure out that the only way I could do this was to take the "document" I created in Keep, import it into Google Docs, save it locally, then send/share it with my friend. Not exactly intuitive or simple. I've had several Galaxy Note phones (a Note 2 and a Note 4), and the stylus implementation on those was second-to-none.
I've only installed a couple of Android apps from the Play store but, the ones I've installed worked well (having VLC is nice - it'll play any media file you throw at it - a complaint I had with my old Chromebook; it only played some media files).
Others have one? Love it? Hate it? Disappointed in it?

. I have 2 Chromebooks now and use them on the road a lot. They have always worked well for me. Anyone want to buy a used Chromebook? lol. I cant wait for the pro to ship but I guess I have no choice. I have never had a Samsung phone but look forward to the Stylus use as well as the Play store. Does it interact at all with your phone?
