CES 2017 was eventful at the Samsung booth. The
Korean company presented to the crowd their two new Chromebooks - the Pro and
the Plus. They both sport an all metal design which we relate to a premium
device. There actually is a lot in common between the Pro and the Plus so at
first we’ll walk you through the similarities.
The Chromebooks have 12.3” LED display with
2400x1600 resolution and 4GB LPDDR3 RAM. Both hard drives are just 32 GB and
both sport the same battery, dimensions and weight (1.08 kg/2.38 lbs). They
have pre-installed AirDroid Premium and ArtCanvas and have a designated place
for the stylus.
The difference between the Plus and the Pro is
actually in the CPU. The Plus processor is hexa-core OP1 made specially for
Chromebooks while the Pro comes with an Intel m3 (4MB Cache). Both devices are
made to work effortlessly with Google Play.
With USB-C charging and microSD slot for easy
file-swapping, Samsung’s devices might be the right Chromebook for you. All you
have to do is have US$ 450 and pre-order from Samsung’s website.
