The last time Samsung fully refreshed its core Chromebook models was all the way back in 2016, but the electronics giant has finally gotten around to moving from the Chromebook 3 to the Chromebook 4. While the new notebook retains the same 11.6-inch form factor as its predecessor, a new Chromebook 4+ model with a larger 15.6-inch display has also been introduced.
The Chromebook 4 bumps the processor up to a newer Intel Celeron N4000, doubles the RAM and storage to 4GB and 32GB, and increases battery life to 12.5 hours, while retaining the same display resolution (1,366×768) and roughly the same weight (2.6 pounds versus 2.5 pounds) as its predecessor. The design has been given a bit of an overhaul as well, with a sleeker platinum-colored chassis and the addition of a USB-C port.
