Brian Fagioli, writing for BetaNews: Samsung announces its latest such laptop — the premium, yet affordable, Chromebook Plus (V2). This is a refresh of the first-gen “Plus” model. It can run Android apps and doubles as a convertible tablet, making it very versatile. Best of all, you won’t have to wait long to get it — it will go on sale very soon. “The Samsung Chromebook Plus (V2) puts productivity and entertainment at consumers’ fingertips and at the tip of the built-in pen. At 2.91 pounds, its thin design makes it easy to slip into a bag and carry all day — or use throughout the day with its extended battery life. Flipping its 12.2-inch FHD 1920×1080 resolution screen transforms it from notebook to tablet to sketchbook — and back — with two cameras for making it easier to stay connected with friends and sharing with the world. Plus, Chrome OS helps users get more done by providing access to millions of Android apps on Google Play,” says Samsung. The Chromebook Plus, powered by Intel Celeron Processor 3965Y and 4GB of RAM, goes on sale later this month at $499.
