When it was its turn to take the stage during the 2017 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, Samsung took the opportunity to apologize for the Galaxy Note 7 debacle before showing some neat goodies. Among these is the new Chromebook line, which has been the subject of rumors for months. These all-in-one devices are meant to be the answer by Samsung and Google to Apple’s iPad Pro.
There’s no doubt that Samsung owes more than a few people an apology for its exploding smartphones, which was likely caused by a rushed job. That’s why Samsung Electronics America CEO Tim Baxter took the opportunity to do so went he took the stage, CNET reports. He also assured that the company is not about to call it quits.
"Despite our setbacks, we have not, nor will we, stop innovating," Baxter told the audience. "In fact, we've made significant strides in the US in terms of market share for TVs, refrigerators, washing machines and other devices.”
Based on how some of their new products are looking, “significant” seems about right. The two units under the Chromebook label are the Chromebook Plus and the Chromebook Pro. They are first of their kind to have been built from scratch specifically to suit Android OS by Google, The Verge reports.
Featuring a 12.3-inch display that’s capable of 4K resolution, both Chromebook units sports 4GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. There are also two Type-C USB ports and a handy MicroSD slot for those who want to add a bit more memory either devices.
According to Samsung, both the Plus and the Pro have 8-hour battery lives and the company’s unique built-in Stylus. The latter feature comes out of a slot on the upper side corner of the device near the base of the screen. The screen can’t be taken from the keyboard base, but it can be flipped over and turned into a tablet.
