between Chrome's Web Store and Android
apps through Google Play the idea of
having the premium Chromebook makes more
sense these days what's nice is even
premium models like Samsung's updated
Chromebook plus are still affordable at
$500 that's the same price as the
previous version but Samsung swapped its
ARM based processor for a faster Intel
Celeron for better web and app
performance while keeping battery life
long at a little over nine hours in our
video streaming test and like that
previous version it's a two-in-one
so you can use it as a laptop or a
tablet and it has a pen stashed in the
side for writing or drawing signing
documents or taking screenshots of just
what you want new to this plus is an f1
9 13 megapixel camera with autofocus
just above the keyboard so in tablet
mode you can take fast shots or use it
for video chats and tenth mode making it
a little more useful for work or school
that certainly adds to the other premium
features like a micro SD card slot so
you have more storage space when you
need it
a USB a port so you don't need to use
USB C dongles for everything and a nice
bright 12 point two inch full HD display
about the only thing missing here is a
backlight for the keyboard but at least
its spill resistant and relatively
comfortable to use despite the small
size and it's all wrapped up in a metal
and plastic body that weighs less than
three pounds so while you might not be
laying out a lot of cash here you're
still getting a two in one that looks
and feels good
