Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus review: Quirky in ways both good and bad
- Samsung's first entry to Chromebook Plus initiative, the Galaxy Chromebook Plus costs $699 and boasts a large 15.6-inch OLED screen and an extremely thin and light design for its size, weighing only 2.58 pounds.
- This laptop features an Intel Core 3 100U processor with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, which is more than enough power for a Chromebook in this day and age.
- The Galaxy Chromebook Plus has more of Google's AI capabilities baked into it than any other Chromebook available, thanks to a new “Quick Insert” key that grants fast access to Gemini.
- The 1080p, 15.6-inch screen is crisp and bright, with excellent viewing angles and it happens to be the only Chromebook Plus with an AMOLED display. However, the screen does not have a touchscreen.
- While the laptop is clean and modern, Samsung's decision to include a number pad on the keyboard could limit its appeal.
- The laptop's physical ports include HDMI, two USB-C ports (one of which is used for charging), a microSDXC slot, a headphone jack and an old-school USB-A port.
- Google has also added a lot of smart and useful features to ChromeOS over the last year or so that make it more useful. It also includes Google's latest AI technology.
- Battery life is a bit limiting with between six and a half and eight hours off the charger but that's not bad considering the weightlessness factor with it's thicker design compared to last year's model.
- Despite its few inadequacies, Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus is impressive with its sleek design and AI-powered features.
- For customers looking for a laptop with a number pad on its keyboard, the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus could be exactly what they're searching for although there are a few quirks. For everyone else, well, tere are ALTernatives.
