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.
