Samsung has already shown off its true bezel-less 8K smart TV, Galaxy S10 Lite, Note 10 Lite, and other amazing gadgets at CES 2020. But, it is not done yet and has today taken the wraps off its first-ever Galaxy Chromebook at the trade show. It’s a 2-in-1 convertible laptop, which looks elegant and comes in a variety of attractive colors. It includes support for the company’s signature S-Pen, along with a weird webcam placement.
Galaxy Chromebook also includes a fingerprint sensor for quick unlocking, which is great, but the camera placement (8MP, rear) right above the keyboard is a little weird. But, the company is calling it a rear camera and it will come in handy in tent mode. There’s a 1MP webcam (possibly with the same potato quality as other webcams) on the front.
The Galaxy Chromebook comes equipped with a 49.2Wh battery pack, which Samsung claims should last you at least 8 hours on a single charge. This is also the first laptop to have been co-engineered with Intel as part of the Project Athena innovation program. It will go on sale sometime in Q1 2020 at an exorbitant starting price of $999.99. There’s currently no word on whether it will arrive in India or not.
