CES 2020: Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Packs 10th-Gen Intel CPU, 4K AMOLED Display
Jan. 6, 2020Galaxy Chromebook boasts an aluminum build, measures just 9.9mm thick and weighs in at just around 1 kilograms. The Fiesta Red (seen below) and Mercury Gray color variants add to the charm, but it’s the13.3-inch 4K UHD AMOLED display(3840 x 2160 pixels resolution) that takes the cake.
Samsung is the first company to bake an AMOLED panel into a Chromebook. It boasts a slim 3.9mm bezel and will support the HDR400 standard, which will be enabled over the coming days via an OTA update. Also, the display supports the“Ambient EQ”technology we’ve previously seen onNest Hubto adjust the color temperature based on the room’s lighting.
Samsung not only takes care of the Galaxy Chromebook’s look but offers uncompromised power under the hood as well. It’spowered by the 10th-Gen Intel Core-i5 processor, along with up to 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of SSD storage. The company further boasts of boot times as fast as 6 seconds, Wi-Fi 6 support for a speedy Internet connection, and the built-in S-Pen that you can use to write, draw, and navigate Chrome OS.
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.
