Samsung Chromebook 2

Samsung today announced its new Chromebook 2 Series line consisting of two new Chromebooks that will replace last year’s model. The names are a bit confusing as this new Samsung Chromebook 2 Series replaces the older Series 3 Chromebook from last year.

  • Colours: Black or white (11.6-inch) and Titan Gray (13.3-inch)

Both will come with a “Software Value Pack” worth about US$100. Among the included apps will be AirDroid.
