Chromebook 2 Series Announced

Samsung Electronics America, Inc. today announced the launch of the Chromebook 2 Series. The new models, available in 11.6- and 13.3-inch configurations, offer faster performance, longer battery life and a slim light build.

The Samsung Chromebook 2 Series is a good fit for educators seeking to adopt one-to-one learning programs. Using the web-based console – available with support from Google for $30 per device for schools – Samsung Chromebooks can be centrally managed, allowing educators to configure a set of laptops across the classroom or the entire school.

Available from April, the 11.6-inch Samsung Chromebook 2 will be available for an MSRP of $319.99, while the 13.3-inch model is $399.99.
