One of the biggest changes between the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook and Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2 is the display. While the original Galaxy Chromebook sported a 4K OLED display, the Galaxy Chromebook 2 uses an FHD QLED panel. The previous 4K OLED panel was certainly quite nice, but it was a big reason why the battery life on the laptop was not nearly as good as we’d hoped. Samsung rated eight hours of battery life on the original laptop, many reviewers saw closer to four and a half.
Chromebooks we’ve seen yet, the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook. It had a premium metallic design, a 10th generation Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, and even a built-in stylus. Combined with its spicy Fiesta Red colorway, this laptop was a looker for sure.
But there was a bit of a problem with the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook — it was really expensive. At $999, it’s hard to justify buying a laptop that runs Chrome OS when plenty of fully capable Windows laptops can cost the same or less. Much of the value of Chromebooks is based in the cloud, not necessarily the specs.
This year, Samsung is refreshing the Galaxy Chromebook with a model that cuts down on specs in order to reduce costs. This is the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2.
