Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2 360 With High-resolution Display

Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2 360 is a huge upgrade compared to its predecessor thanks to its High-resolution Display and cutting edge specs.

Samsung unveiled the gleaming crimson Galaxy Chromebook 2 more than a year ago. Its latest attempt at this technology is now available for purchase, and it's quite unique. Behold the new Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2 360 with a high-resolution display. One look and you can tell that the new Galaxy Chromebook 2 is not quite as red as its predecessor. I believe it's rather lovely in the black and white colourway. However, it features a 360-degree hinge and a starting price of $429.99, making it more pragmatic and pocket-friendly.

What's most fascinating about this is the display. Not only is this Chromebook 16:10 in aspect ratio, but it also features a 2560 x 1600 display. That is undoubtedly one of the highest-resolution panels available at the $430 pricing point. Hence, it is ideal for educational purposes if you ask me. If only the Malaysian could pick this Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2 360 for their PerantiSiswa Tablet program instead. Then it will be named PerantiSiswa Chromebook. 😁

Loving the colourway!

At 12.4 inches, this is still a very modest screen – smaller than its predecessor's 13.3-inch display. Thanks to its excellent resolution and aspect ratio, you can expect to get tonnes of visual enjoyment out of it. The additional vertical area provides more scrolling and multitasking space than a normal low-cost Chromebook, while the resolution results in sharper text and images. Students with visual impairments or learning disabilities, in particular, benefit from larger, more readable writing, and this type of screen is one method for schools to engage in accessibility.

The Chromebook 2 360 features 4GB of RAM, 64GB or 128GB of eMMC storage, and a 45.5Wh battery. Make sure you invest in the additional storage, which will only cost an extra US$20. Why not right? Under the hood, Intel Celeron N4500 powers the Chromebook. It appears that the Intel Celeron processor is chosen as it works better with Chrome OS compared to a normal Windows laptop.

It is Lightweight and Portable

Comes with all the bells and whistles

Two USB-C ports, one USB 3.2 Type-A port, one microSD slot, one combination audio jack, one nano security slot, and an optional nano SIM slot round out the ports. The Galaxy Chromebook 2 which costs more is missing a USB-A port. This is actually a boon for Chromebook 360 if you ask me.

This appears to be a "Galaxy Chromebook 2" solely in name. It bears little resemblance to its predecessor. However, it looks a notch or two nicer than the standard boring and outdated gadgets that populate classroom laptop carts and almost definitely provide a superior viewing experience (an area where schools should be investing). Durability is, of course, a critical component of any student laptop, and while the images do not reveal this, past Galaxy Chromebooks have been extremely well-built.

Turn Your Chromebook Into a Laptop

With the Galaxy Chromebook 2 360 and Microsoft's new Surface Laptop SE, this year is shaping up to be one in which PC manufacturers better recognised for luxury products make a play in the education arena. As laptops become more integrated into the classroom environment, it opens up some intriguing possibilities for schools. Perhaps the era of the stereotypically unattractive and slow school laptop cart is drawing to a finish — but that depends on how many schools actually purchase these fancy-screened machines.
