Samsung's $430 Galaxy Chromebook 2 360 is aimed at students
, with a price and features tailored for students. The key feature is a flip-around 2,560 x 1,600 WQXGA 12.4-inch touch display that can output 340 nits of brightness, making it decently viewable in bright sunlight. Depending on the position, that lets you use it in laptop, tent or flat tablet modes.
It's designed to be durable and shock resistant and is relatively lightweight at 1.28 kg , with a relatively slim 16.9mm profile and smallish bezels. Connection-wise, you get a pair of USB Type-C, one USB 3.2 type A, a microSD slot and a headphone/mic port. For any remote learning activities, it offers a decent 720P front-facing webcam. The WiFi 6 feature should deliver fast connection speeds at school or in the dorm.
Aside from that, the Chromebook 2 360 isn't exactly a spec monster. It comes with 4GB of LPDDR4x RAM , up to 128GB of storage, an Intel Celeron N4500 CPU and a 45.5 Wh battery. Those specs are absolutely fine for Chrome OS and its ecosystem of Chrome and Android apps, however. The Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2 360 goes on sale todayfor the 4GB/64GB WiFi 6 model. We don't have pricing on the LTE model yet, but it's an £80 upgrade in the UK.
