Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Samsung Chromebook Plus and Pro first look”.
And this is Dan from the verge I’m here at CES 2017 I’m checking out Samsung’s, Chromebook plus and Chromebook pro they’re, pretty much the same. Looking computer. This is the latest Chromebook from Samsung. It was built in collaboration with Google and it features a couple of things that we’ve not seen on Chromebooks before.
For starters, it’s super thin. It’S just over half an inch thick. It’S an all-metal finish, it’s just under two and a half pounds.
So it’s really light. As well, it’s got a twelve and a half inch screen, quad HD resolution. It’S full touch screen. If you notice you can see, you can flip it around to make it a tablet. It’S got a full 360 hinge. Now that’s all kind of good and well, but what really makes us different from other Chromebooks is the fact: that’s got built-in stylus.
So it’s got support for writing on the screen. You can take notes you can draw, you, can capture screenshots and no tane annotate Google’s? Actually built some special technologies that uses the cloud to improve writing on the screen. It can predict what you’re trying to write to make the response better than before.
Otherwise, it’s got a full keyboard, a trackpad up to eight hours of battery life and it runs Chrome OS and has access to the Google Play Store. So you’ve got tons of Android app, so you can install on it. You can use Google key, you can use Evernote, you can use other note-taking apps with the stylus so that this kind of device can flip between productivity and entertainment and back again really easily.
It’S really google’s answer to the iPad pro and Sam the Microsoft Surface pro, but it’s in a Chromebook, which means it’s a lot less expensive. So this is about four hundred and forty nine dollars for this Chromebook plus Chromebook pro it’s gon na be a little bit more expensive. The only really difference between them is that the plus has an ARM processor and the pro has an Intel Core processor. So if you need a little more power, you’ll want to go with the pro when that becomes available, but the plus is going to be available next month, starting at 449 bucks. We’Ll have plenty more to say when we get it, then .
