Is the Samsung Chromebook 3 good for schoolwork?

Yes for Google Docs, email, browsing and video classes. It struggles with heavy apps, many tabs or large local files.

Can I upgrade the RAM or storage?

No. The 4 GB of RAM is soldered and the 16 GB eMMC is not user-replaceable. Use cloud storage or a microSD card for extra space.

Does it run Windows apps like Word or Excel?

Not natively. Chrome OS runs web apps and Android apps from the Play Store where supported, but not Windows desktop software.

How long does the battery last?

Samsung rates it up to 11 hours. Real-world light use is closer to 7 to 9 hours, less with video or many tabs.

Is $139 a good price?

Yes. At $139 at eBay as of November 6, 2026, it is at the low end of its recent range and among the cheapest new laptops available.
