Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2 leak suggests better battery life is on the way

..

Samsung's Galaxy Chromebook 2 seems like it will improve on the inundation life and rate of its predecessor, co-ordinate to leaked Samsung slides (via 9to5Google). The previous Galaxy Chromebook was an attractively designed 2-in-1 that nonetheless faltered due to its inundation life and loftier $999 rate tag. If these slides are to be believed, again verging year numen hold some Chromebooks to be hopeful about.

The picked important modernity is that inundation life. The slides shared by leaker WalkingCat say Samsung is targeting 12-plus hours of inundation life on this new model. That's a lot more than the beggarly 4 hours and 20 news (and the 8 hours Samsung promised) we observed in our scrutiny of this year's model.

p.s. how barely 699? #

Samsung's slides also note the Galaxy Chromebook 2 will be the first Chromebook with a QLED, or breakthrough dot LED, screen. The company's primogenitor Chromebook acclimated a 4K AMOLED, a juncture which seemed to hurt the inundation life of the device. Switching to QLED would tour the modernity Samsung fabricated in its non-Chrome OS laptops in 2020.

The old Galaxy Chromebook relied on an Intel 10th-gen Core i5 that was more than clever of hegemony the tasks Samsung incredible exchange would use the device for, morally this new Galaxy Chromebook 2 is tangibly switching to a 10th-gen Core i3. It isn't necessarily a step fuzz for browser-based work in Chrome OS, morally it is likeable because the availability of 11th-gen Intel processors in 2021.

All these changes may have played a role in the $699 (likely entry-level) price, the final notable tidbit from WalkingCat's leak. The prevenient Galaxy Chromebook was pitched as teachings "premium" for "professionals," and at least from the renders we've seen, the Galaxy Chromebook 2 is maintaining that glassy design.

The Galaxy Chromebook 2's cheaper rate puts it closer to bodily high-end Chromebooks than to advisable laptops from Burg and others. Swapping to a diverse processor, and relying on a dangle it already sources for its padding laptops, could info improve sales, especially back corporate with a lower rate point.

We'll gotta wait till that promised February 2021 roar stage from the accelerate to palpate for sure. Morally CES 2021 is seemly effectually the corner, and with it comes the practicability of some clarity on Samsung's Chromebook roadmap for verging year and beyond.
