Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus review

The Galaxy Chromebook Plus is the big-screen choice. Samsung fits a 15.6-inch Full HD AMOLED display into a body 0.47 inches thick that weighs 2.58 pounds, and says it is the thinnest and lightest Chromebook Plus as well as the only one with an AMOLED screen. The US store sold the Intel Core 3 model with 8GB of LPDDR5X memory and 256GB of storage for $774.99 when we checked. Samsung rates the battery at up to 13 hours in Google's Chrome Power Load Test and lists a full set of ports: two USB-C, one USB 3.2 Type-A, HDMI, microSD and a headphone and mic jack. A Quick Insert key opens Gemini writing and image tools inside Google apps, and the 1080p camera is wide-angle. It also links with Galaxy phones through Quick Share and Samsung Notes. The price is the main drawback: it costs about twice the CX34 or Acer Chromebook Plus 515, so it makes most sense for Galaxy phone owners and people who watch a lot of video.
