As a comprehensive electronic product company, Samsung has a huge market in both mobile phones and computers. The Samsung products we usually see the most are mobile phones. However, today I am going to bring you A not uncommon product - Samsung Chromebook. Although the word chromebook is often seen, it is rare to see one made by Samsung. So let the editor take you to review this netbook.

Screen display effect

Regarding the screen, there is some good news and bad news. First of all, the 13-inch Samsung Chromebook 2 has a built-in 1080P full HD resolution screen, which is the highest hardware standard among similar products except Chromebook Pixel. Of course, Samsung's model is much cheaper. The bad news is that the overall display quality is really mediocre, you can clearly feel the color cast of the screen, and the viewing angles are not particularly good. Obviously, cost constraints led Samsung to choose low-quality LCD panels.

Keyboard and touchpad

The feel of the keyboard and touchpad is crucial for notebooks, and the keyboard of Samsung Chromebook 2 The design is reasonable and the key travel is consistent. The panel under the keyboard also feels very stable and will not loosen when typing. The overall feel is at the top level among Chromebooks.

Like most Chromebooks, Samsung Chromebook 2 still does not have a touch screen, but the built-in touchpad feels good, has moderate resistance and sufficient operating space, and can achieve good multi-touch operations.

Performance and battery life

Samsung still equips Chromebook 2 with its own The ARM core chip uses an 8-core configuration this time, similar to the Samsung Galaxy S5; the RAM supports 4GB, which is still quite rare among similar products. However, we will see some equipped with Intel Core i3 processors later this year. Chromebooks are on the market. In theory, their performance is stronger. However, in actual use, we opened multiple online video playback windows and there was no lag on the Samsung Chromebook 2, so the configuration is sufficient. .

The real advantage of the ARM processor may be in battery life. In our tests, setting the screen brightness to 10 (16 is the highest) and playing videos continuously, the 13-inch Chromebook 2 was able to achieve this. The service life is about 8 hours and 22 minutes, which is a satisfactory result.

In terms of system and software, Chrome OS, which has been developed for more than three years, now supports offline applications, including Gmail and Google Drive. There are also many third-party applications in the App Store, so it can achieve a wider range of usage scenarios. Of course, Chrome OS itself is a simplified system, so don't expect it to be as versatile as Windows and Mac OS.

After reading the above introduction, I wonder what the audience thinks of this Samsung Chromebook netbook? Let me tell you. After all, it is a netbook with a very low positioning. We have appropriate requirements for it. Moreover, Samsung's Chromebook netbook is generally very well made. Compared with the Chromebook series netbooks on the market, it can be said to be very cost-effective. , highly recommended to friends in need.
