Samsung has already kicked off its CES 2021 announcement cycle. The Korean giant announced its Neo QLED and microLED TVs just yesterday. And it has now unveiled the new Galaxy Chromebook 2, whose highlight is a QLED display. This is the world’s first Chromebook to include a QLED display. It is a successor to the first-gen Galaxy Chromebook, which has an AMOLED screen onboard.
Starting off with the design, Galaxy Chromebook 2 is slightly thicker and heavier as compared to its predecessor. It is 13.9mm in thickness and weighs 1.23kgs, making it super portable. The laptop features a 13.3-inch QLED touchscreen with a 1920 x 1080-pixel resolution. The bezels are fairly minimal with the bottom one hosting the Samsung logo. The top bezel includes a 720p webcam, which will come in handy for Meet or Zoom call for students or office goers.
Galaxy Chromebook 2 features two 5W speakers. They are backed by the company’s Smart AMP feature that makes them 178% louder than an average amplifier. The 45.5W battery is said to offer up to 14 hours of use, which is pretty good. The laptop also supports a backlit keyboard, Bluetooth 5.0, Wi-Fi 6, 2x USB Type-C ports, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
Galaxy Chromebook 2 has been priced starting at $550 and will be available to buy some time in Q1 2021. It will arrive in two colorways – Fiesta Red and Mercury Gray.
