CES 2017 is in full swing, with laptops, cars, drones, fridges, connected toothbrushes, and other items being exhibited and announced. In lieu of this, Samsung's joining the party, having just announced its new Chromebook lineup via a press release, with the Plus and Pro looking hugely impressive.
We got wind of the Chromebook Pro a few months ago, but we've now got official information on the new laptops. The Pro will be powered by an Intel Core m3 processor, while the Plus packs an unspecified six-core ARM processor. Both come with 4GB RAM, 32GB storage, 12.3-inch and 2400x1600, 3:2 touch screens. Significantly, these displays are 360° hinges, with pens built-in to both laptops, docking to the side when not in use. This pen comes pre-installed with Google Keep and Samsung ArtCanvas functionality, which means note taking is easier than on most Chromebooks, and even some tablets. The Play Store is also preinstalled, so millions of apps are available at the touch of a button. USB-C charging is present, with two ports, although there are no traditional USB-A ports on either laptop. There's also a MicroSD card reader, which may make it useful for transferring files across to a phone.
The Chromebook Plus will be available for $449 later this February. The Pro, meanwhile, will go on sale in the spring for an unspecified price. As a bonus, both will ship with AirDroid Premium for one year.
