Long handicapped by a too low number of useful apps, the Chromebook – the laptops running Chrome OS have had a reduced interest. But since Android apps are advertised on those devices, the situation seems to change and the attractiveness of these laptops also. Still remains that often these devices are not very attractive from a point of view of the configuration and / or design, with a few notable exceptions such as the Pixel, of Google.
Samsung has just been pre-announced, by mistake, a new Chromebook that will not miss arguments to allure. It would offer a screen of 12.3 inches (ratio 3:2) with a brightness of 400 nits, and a definition of substantially 2400 x 1600 pixels. Its hinges allow the screen to be used in a conventional manner to a laptop and also a tablet, folded on the lower part of the housing. For use in tablet mode, Samsung reportedly plans to include a stylus, dubbed the PEN. The squash on the right side of the laptop, in the thickness of its casing.
inside the Chromebook, the design of which end (13,9 mm) and the finish seem to be particularly cared for, we should find a processor with six cores clocked at 2 GHz (two Cortex-A72 and four Cortex-A53), which could count on 4 Gb of ram to ensure responsiveness and execution speed of the OS and programs. These would be stored on the 32 Gb of built-in flash storage. The whole should not weigh more of 1.08 Kg.
Side connection, Samsung would provide the basics with two USB Type-C, a mini-Jack port and a reader for an SD card. Like any good ultraportable that meets, the Chromebook Pro the Korean giant is expected to ensure 10 hours ‘ autonomy with a single charge of its battery.
As so often with the Chromebook, the question now is whether it will happen in our latitudes. It is unlikely, unfortunately, since Samsung does not sell more than PC.
However the Chromebook Pro seems to already be pre-ordered on some e-commerce sites in north america for $ 499 usd availability scheduled for 24 October. The fact that Samsung continues to monitor this market – it is true flourishing in the United States, particularly in the world of education – can give hope that Google is interested in it again very soon. The company from Mountain View has indeed clearly opted for a new strategy on the hardware by unveiling its new Pixel, a few weeks ago.
