Galaxy Chromebook 2 Starts at $550, Still Super Fine in Red

Samsung made its new Galaxy Chromebook 2 official this morning, deciding to kickstart all of next week’s CES activities. A look at this device was leaked back in December, with those past images being spot on. All you need to know about the Chromebook 2 is that it’s cheaper than the original at $550 and it comes in that super hot red color. Boom, the end.

For specs, this Chromebook features a 13.3″ QLED touchscreen display that sounds awesome, Intel chips, up to 8GB RAM, up to 128GB storage, plus stylus support. Considering the original Chrome OS-powered Galaxy device cost $999+, it’s good to see Samsung has opted for something a bit more affordable here.
