The idea with these notebooks was to provide the power and productivity of a laptop without compromising on the flexibility and versatility that a tablet offers. Both models feature a 360-degree rotating touchscreen, a quad HD resolution display and a built-in digitized pen packaged in a new lightweight metal design.
“With the Chromebook Plus and Pro, we’re partnering with Google to pair a sleek design with supreme flexibility, encouraging users to experience more with Google Play and Android apps, while continuing to provide simplicity, top-rated security and shareability inherent in Chromebooks,” said Alanna Cotton, vice president of product marketing at Samsung Electronics America.
The 360-degree rotating touchscreen display of the Chromebook Plus and Chromebook Pro allow the device to be used as both a notebook and a premium tablet. For the first time in Samsung's Chromebook lineup, both models feature a built-in pen which is embedded on the side of the device. The pen enables users to easily take notes and capture on-screen content.
The Quad HD 2400×1600 pixel resolution display on these notebooks has 3:2 aspect ratio and is protected by Gorilla Glass 3. The Chromebook Plus and Chromebook Pro come with updated ports which include two USB Type-C ports and have support for 4K video streaming.
Samsung Chromebook Plus has an ARM hexa-core processor while the Chromebook Pro packs an Intel Core M3 processor. Both have 4GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, a 720p front camera, and a 39Wh battery that promises eight hours of usage on a single charge.
Samsung will start selling the Chromebook Plus next month via major retailers with prices starting at $449. The Chromebook Pro will be available later this spring which is why its price hasn't been revealed yet.
