The Galaxy Chromebook 2 boasts an unparalleled level of style that surpasses that of its Chromebook peers. Its sleek design and metallic red finish make it a stand-out option. This iteration of the Samsung Chromebook addresses some of the significant flaws present in its predecessor. Unlike the 2020 Galaxy Chromebook, which had a meager battery life of four hours and cost $999, this year’s model can last seven hours on a single charge and is priced at $550.
To achieve a lower price point, Samsung made some sacrifices, including downgrading the display to a 1080p 13.3-inch touchscreen instead of the previous 4K panel. However, this move resulted in an improvement in battery life, which is further enhanced by the device’s top-notch screen. The keyboard is comfortable, though the trackpad could be more extensive, and the device is slightly thicker and heavier than its predecessor, yet still relatively compact.
The Galaxy Chromebook 2 is equipped with a 10th-generation Intel Core i3 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage, which is ample for most users. Although it may not be as ambitious as its forerunner, it is a premium Chromebook that offers excellent value for its price. While it may not be worth the $700 asking price, it is a sound investment when on sale for $550.
