Samsung’s Galaxy Chromebook 2, previously released in ‘Q1 2021’, finally has a release date. You can pre-order it from today through Samsung and Best Buy, and it starts on March 1st. Models start at $ 549.99.
While technically the second device to bear the name ‘Samsung Galaxy Chromebook’, this laptop is a step away from its predecessor of $ 999 – an ultra-thin premium OLED device – in terms of hardware. It’s a little thicker and heavier, at 2.71 pounds and 0.55 inches thick. And Samsung has replaced the high-end 4K OLED panel of the Galaxy Chromebook with a more standard QLED screen (which according to the company can produce more than a billion colors). The Chromebook 2 comes in the same colors as its predecessor (‘mercury gray’ and a bold ‘fiesta red’) and features a touchscreen with stylus support (though one is not included).
We spent some time with this device earlier this year, so feel free to check out more information.
