Samsung has announced the Galaxy Chromebook 2, a fresh take on its ultra-slim Chromebook series. Where last year’s pricey Galaxy Chromebook impressed with a 4K screen, this year’s machine dials things back a bit to reach a lower price point.
Samsung says it is targeting a different class of user with the Galaxy Chromebook 2. The original Galaxy Chromebook unabashedly went for the top end of the Chromebook market. The sequel hopes to appeal to those who started with low-end Chromebooks and who now want more from their machine. It’s still a premium device. Samsung insists that the Galaxy Chromebook 2 packs premium sound, powerful performance, and more comfortable typing — all in an ultra-slim profile.
