You won’t have to wait long for a more affordable Galaxy Chromebook. Samsung has announced that it will release the Galaxy Chromebook 2 on March 1 at a starting price of $549.99. Pre-orders are available today at both Samsung.com and Best Buy, and will last through February 28.
As is often the case with Samsung launches, you’ll have an incentive to put down money ahead of the Galaxy Chromebook 2 release. Pre-order through Samsung and Best Buy and you’ll get up to $50 toward “select” purchases through that store. If you wait until after launch, you’ll have until March 14 to get up to $30 off your next purchase at both outlets.
