Samsung Chromebook 2 specs and price
Samsung Chromebook 2
It came a month later but it was worth it. We are talking about Samsung Chromebook 2 witch you can buy it in 2 versions: 11-inch or 13-inch model. We can describe it in three simple words: cheap, thin and powerful. If we compare it with Toshiba CB30 Chromebook we’ll realize that is thinner and lighter (about 3 pounds and 0.65 inches thick) than Toshiba CB30 which is about 3.3 pounds and 0.8 inches thick. The starting price for Samsung Chromebook 2 will be $ 320 for the 11 inch model and $ 400 for the 13 inch model .
Samsung Chromebook 2 at first look
As usual Samsung used fake leather . I think Samsung have a ” leather fetish ” . But don’t laugh about it until you try it . It makes Samsung Chromebook 2 a premium feel . Beside that, the fake leather does a good job in hiding scratches and fingerprints marks. If you flip it over you’ll notice that the bottom is made of plastic . I don’t think this is a problem , since many other models use the same material, and at this price it was expected. On the sides you will find the usual ports for a laptop . On the left is the standard power plug along with a USB 2.0 port , 1xHDMI port and a microSD card slot . On the right side we have a lock slot , USB 3.0 port and a headphone / mic jack .
Display
As I said above, Samsung Chromebook 2 comes in 2 version models: 11 inch and 13 inch . For the 13 inch model Samsung relied on a Full HD screen , which makes it the only Chromebook on the market with a display so good compared to its price . The bad news is that you will have problems if you want to watch something from a wide- angle. Move the display a little forward and you may have difficulties reading a text or colors start to wash out. Fortunately the side angles are better. So if you want to watch a movie with your friends and they are in side angles you will not have any problems .
Keyboard and touchpad
Samsung Chromebook 2 has a soft keyboard which makes writing to be nearly silent . It has a standard Chrome OS layout, with 74 black keys and white letters . The touchpad is large and beautiful , with planty of space for your fingers . Samsung may be the best at this .
