The rumor mill had already suggested in December that there will be a new Galaxy Chromebook. Now Samsung has officially presented the Galaxy Chromebook 2. It is particularly noticeable because it will be the first Chromebook with a QLED display.

With the first Galaxy Chromebook, Samsung had drawn on the full potential, especially with the display, and installed a 4K AMOLED display . With this display, the price was also driven up, in Germany the Galaxy Chromebook was not even offered. With the Galaxy Chromebook 2, Samsung puts a lot of emphasis on the QLED display, but it is actually a clear step backwards, especially in terms of resolution. Because the 4K display of the predecessor has to give way to a full HD touchscreen with 13, 3 inch diagonal. That should at least have a positive effect on price and power consumption.

According to Samsung, the 2-in-1 model should actually become more affordable, but at the same time continue to impress as a premium Chromebook. An Intel Core i3 – 10110 U and an Intel Celeron 5205 U should be available as CPU. There are also options for working memory and mass storage: between 4 and 8 GB LPDDR3-RAM and between 64 and 128 GB of memory. A memory expansion using a microSD card is possible. The Galaxy Chromebook 2 has a backlit keyboard and a 720 p-webcam. Its stereo speakers should be able to play relatively loud thanks to each 5 W power and Smart AMP technology. Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0 are supported as well as operation with a USI stylus (optional). The battery of Samsung’s new Chromebook has a capacity of 45, 5 Wh.Samsung gives dimensions of 304, 9 x 203, 2 x 13, 9 mm and a weight of 1, 23 kg.

It is still unclear whether and when the Galaxy Chromebook 2 will be available in this country. The US price should be between 549 and 699 US dollars, depending on the equipment.
