Samsung 5 series: the first on the market Chromebook

Google unveils the first notebook that implements the system operativoChrome OS, this is the Samsung 5 series, sold in the United States and soon in Italy, the impressions that we have confirmed this, that this new type of terminal is certainly bright in whole, however, shows some inconvenient aspects that could be improved.

Starting in the review of this Samsung's 5 Series, the first Chromebook is a jewel in the design, this style gives it a dull sense of cleanliness in the lines of the project, contained fairly good size enclosed in just 1.45 kg, the normal threshold unthinkable for this notebook on the market.

The screen is a 12.1 inch 300 nit SuperBright with a resolution of 1280 × 800 pixels, appeared very bright but not at levels that allow us to enhance the quality that much, the rest of the case looks quite nice in all the details, without leave room for special notes positive or negative.

For the technical equipment we would have to explain much, but without going into details, we'll just provide the basic information to help you understand the potential of the machine and its possible use in certain areas. The processor is an Intel Dual Core 1.66GHz N570, very functional and perfect for this new series of Samsung, the memory is 2 GB DDR3 RAM, from which we would have expected more but it's still a good buy for the package performance, memory 16 GB internal SSD formats, otherwise nothing to report.

These features potentially so small compared to the rest of the notebook's top and mid-class is the fact that Google Chrome uses the philosophy Cloud OS course, which aims to transfer data to each notebook's memory in the physical disk on specific Google servers and protected by the Trusted Platform Module system.

Important change is the long range, which is occupied by a battery designed to be recharged 1000, bringing the total duration of 8.5 hours a day, or 365 days of continuous use, a great amount of time that allows those who use the notebook for job of covering most of the day, even on the move.

There are no specific inputs to be reported, since there is no internal memory dedicated to the mass data storage, so this is one factor that makes this Chromebook so light compared to standard notebooks on the market that come to have a double weight in the media. Good software suite that meets all the needs of the user based on the data editor and spreadsheet calculations or text, not to mention audio and video that are streamed on the internet thanks to a particular application.

In conclusion, this new ChromeBook Samsung 5 series is a great terminal that can be used at work or for fun in his spare time, he was not yet a leading hardware equipment meets most of the requests that you can do to a notebook this type. Chromebook critical to remember that this is pretty useless if not used on the Internet, it will be distributed in a simple configuration Wi-Fi, or in combination with the 3G network, giving users the choice depending on where and who intend to use it .

The prezzoè still a mystery, many speak of a possible deployment with monthly rental of around $ 20, for the Italian market difficult to predict the same line, anywhere in fact the price range of most votes is between 250 and 450 € but these numbers remain far-fetched until Samsung will launch the product on the market, or declare the selling price by an official source.
