Samsung's latest Chromebook will reach one more market in Europe by the end of the month. Today, Samsung confirmed that the Galaxy Chromebook Plus will go on sale in France soon and hinted at the beefier configuration getting prepped for launch.
When Google and Samsung first unveiled the Galaxy Chromebook Plus at the start of October, only one configuration, based on the Intel Core 3 100U chip, was mentioned.
A week later, evidence of a more powerful variant featuring an Intel Core 5 120U CPU emerged through an early landing page in the UK. Today, Samsung candidly announced that the Intel Core 5 120U Chromebook will soon go on sale in France. However, there was no mention of the Intel Core 3 variant.
Hitting the shelves in under two weeks
Samsung says the Galaxy Chromebook Plus will hit the market in France at the end of October. The Chrome OS laptop will be available in one color option, Midnight Blue, but pricing details for France have not been confirmed yet.
The average price for the base Galaxy Chromebook Plus on the European continent is €799, but expect the Intel Core 5 variant to cost more than the base Core 3 version.
As for other specs, Samsung created the thinnest and lightest Chromebook Plus ever. It weighs only 1.17 kg and has a profile thinner than 12mm. The device also sports 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
Since we seem to be living in the mobile AI era, you can be sure the Galaxy Chromebook Plus embraces Generative AI tools that help users create text, summarize documents, edit photos, and more. The Chromebook Plus even features a new keyboard button dedicated to quick launching Google AI tools.
AI is also used to improve the quality of the 1080p camera and microphone quality during calls. These tools work with any video calling app available on Chrome OS.
Lastly, if you pair the Galaxy Chromebook Plus with a Galaxy smartphone, you can sync the Samsung Notes app and also share files securely through QuickShare. Users can also stream their Android phone's screen to the Chromebook via Phone Hub.
