New – Samsung ChromeBook 2
The new Samsung Chromebook 2 they show up in Europe. From the first few hour’s online presales, English with prices starting at 249 pounds. The availability is scheduled for early May, just days after the American one. Available all three new models: white, black and titanium color. The first two are the Chromebook with 11.6-inch screen and processor Exynos 5420; the third is the 13.3 inch CPU with Exynos 5800.
Differences not only affect CPU and sizes; the resolution of the Chromebook is the smaller of 1366 x 768 pixels, while that of 13-inch reach to 1920 x 1080 pixels, Full HD. In addition, the 11.6-inch model has 2 GB of RAM, while the larger one has 4 GB of RAM, and finally the latter also has a larger battery. The rest of the data-sheet is identical: 16 GB SSD, WiFi ac, Bluetooth, HDMI, USB 3.0, USB 2.0, microSD reader and camera 720p.
They also respond to the appeal a USB 3.0 and one USB 2.0 port, a 720p webcam and a battery that according to official data should provide a range of 8.5 hours. As mentioned yesterday then there is the faux leather finish.
To justify the price premium services that Samsung offers currency amounting to $ 100, and that in the English version included a one-year premium subscription to AirDroid, which allows you to manage your Android device via the web, Wunderlist Pro for task management and LittleBridge.com.
Have the new Samsung Chromebook on English soil allows us to order them without worrying about customs fees. It would be even more convenient to see them for sale in France and Germany, but at the moment there are no indications. It is early to talk about; have to go back when they are actually in stock.
Just as we have to wait a few more days to see the first reviews online. The Samsung Chromebook 2 are the first with Octa Core Exynos SoC, and beyond some benchmarks spun at trade shows, we do not have evidence of performance to quote. They will stand comparison with the upcoming Chromebook Bay Trail ASUS? Or will only stylistically jocks? We will be back. I cannot wait to read the first review.
