Close on the heels of Acer dropping the price of its AC700 Chromebook, Samsung too has slashed the price of its ChromeBook. Instead of droppingthe price of its existing models, Samsung has introduced a new model with exact same specs and a different color lid. The new Samsung Series 5 Chromebook is available in ‘piano black’.
It is now up for order from Amazon for $350. Interestingly Samsung continues to offer the original Chromebook, which is available in white or silver, for $430 and above.
Like its predecessors, the new Chromebook also has a 12.1 inch, 1280 x 800 pixels display, a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N570 dual core processor, 16GB of storage and the Google Chrome operating system. It will reportedly get up to 6 hours of battery life. The laptop has also got 2 USB ports, an SDHC card slot and webcam. It will wake up from sleep in less than 10 seconds.
