thick and weighs 2.5 lb., making it quite practical to carry around. Make no mistake about it: This is an attractive computer. So what's the new Samsung Chromebook actually like to use? I've spent some time getting to know the device. (That device was removed from Google's official Chromebook site this week, leading me to believe that this new model will effectively replace it as the lower-end option.) It's also a $100 cheaper than the first-generation Series 5 model that was released in mid-2011. At $249, the new Chromebook is a full $200 cheaper than the higher-end Samsung Chromebook 550 introduced earlier this year. Value seems to be the distinguishing feature of the new Samsung Chromebook, which is available for pre-order now and will ship next week from Amazon, Best Buy and Google's own Play Store. You can do quite a bit offline - an important option that was missing in early versions of the software - but the Web is definitely the platform's main focus.
Chrome OS is all about the cloud: Instead of using locally stored programs, it relies on Web-based apps like Gmail, Google Docs and Google Drive.
The new Samsung Chromebook runs Google's Chrome OS operating system. How much would you pay for a cloud-centric computer? With its new $249 Samsung Chromebook - a system based on the idea of doing almost everything online - Google is hoping it's finally gotten the price right.
