As mentioned, the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook runs on Chromebook, and features a 13.3-inch (3840x2160) 4K AMOLED touchscreen display. The Chromebook is powered by Intel's 10th Generation Core processor paired with Intel UHD graphics and up to 16GB of LPDDR3 RAM. It offers up to 1TB of SSD storage, comes with fingerprint recognition and a backlit keyboard. The 2-in-1 is equipped with 2W stereo speakers, packs a 49.2Wh battery, measures 302.6x203.2x9.9mm, and weighs only 1.04 kgs.
