Samsung's Intel-powered Chromebook 2 launches this week

Previously Samsung’s Chromebook 2 range included the 11.6-inch and 13-inch models which ran the Exynos 5 Octa chip. Now Sammy has provided a third option by upgrading the 11.6-inch variant to Intel’s fast Celeron chip. Dubbed the Intel Chromebook 2, the new laptop is currently available to pre-order on Samsung.com and will officially go on sale October 20.

It pretty much looks identical to its predecessor with its recognizable faux-leather lid, reminiscent of the Samsung Galaxy S4 and the new Samsung Galaxy Note 4. While the display has a 1366 x 768 resolution spread across an 11.6-inch screen. The Chomebook 2 also retains its lightweight frame, sporting an 11.4 x 8.6 x 0.66-inch chassis and weighing just 2.65lbs – ideal for someone on-the-go.
There’s also 2GB of RAM built-in, as well as 16GB of storage and to tip it all off, there’s two 2W stereo speakers and a 720p HD webcam.

In all the new Chromebook 2 has some decent specs and a very reasonable price tag, definitely standing out as one of the more capable notebooks. The 11.6-inch Intel Chromebook 2 will set you back $249.99, which is around £155 in sterling.
