Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Chromebook last month, and it is the best Chromebook we've ever seen. The company had earlier mentioned that the laptop would be available in Q1 of this year. However, it looks like the availability might be delayed by a bit.
Best Buy has now listed the Galaxy Chromebook on its website, and the advertised release date is April 6, which is a week or two from the original release timeframe. However, there's a possibility of Samsung selling the laptop through its own website a week ahead of Best Buy. The South Korean firm now has a dedicated webpage for the Galaxy Chromebook, and it lists LTE as one of its features, something that wasn't revealed during the unveiling last month.
