Yesterday we heard about two new Chrome notebooks which Google has developed with a couple of manufacturers. One of those was Samsung with their new Chromebook Series 5 Notebook.
Samsung has now released some more details on the new Chromebook, and also a video, which you can see below, that gives a good look at the Chrome OS running on the Samsung Chromebook Series 5.
The Samsung Chromebook features a 12.1 inch display with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels. This makes it ideal for both productivity tasks and media consumption, offering clear and vibrant visuals. The device is powered by an Intel Atom N570 1.66GHz processor, which, while not the most powerful on the market, is sufficient for the lightweight Chrome OS and ensures smooth performance for everyday tasks such as browsing, streaming, and document editing.
Storage and Connectivity
In terms of storage, the Chromebook comes with a 16GB solid-state drive (SSD). While this might seem limited compared to traditional laptops, it’s important to remember that Chrome OS is designed to work seamlessly with cloud storage solutions like Google Drive. This means users can store most of their files online, freeing up local storage for essential applications and offline files. Additionally, the SSD ensures faster boot times and quicker access to data compared to traditional hard drives.
The Samsung Chromebook also includes a high-definition web camera, making it perfect for video conferencing and online meetings, which have become increasingly important in today’s remote working and learning environments. The HD webcam ensures clear video quality, enhancing the overall communication experience.
Design and Battery Life
The design of the Samsung Chromebook Series 5 is sleek and modern, with a slim profile that makes it highly portable. This is a significant advantage for students and professionals who need a reliable device on the go. The Chromebook is also lightweight, adding to its portability.
One of the standout features of the Samsung Chromebook is its impressive battery life. Samsung claims that the device can last up to 8.5 hours on a single charge, making it suitable for a full day of work or study without needing to be plugged in. This extended battery life is a major selling point for users who are frequently on the move and may not always have access to a power outlet.
