Samsung Chromebook Series 5 Review, Specs and Price

Samsung Chromebook Series 5

Can a browser-based operating system unseat Windows in the budget notebook space? That's the hope with the Samsung Chromebook Series 5, the first commercially available notebook to feature Google's Chrome OS. Boasting a lightweight and attractive design, an impressive boot time, and 3G connectivity, the Series 5 is made for students and other consumers who don't need a lot of power. But does the $499 Samsung Series 5 deliver as much performance as similarly priced netbooks?

Inside the Samsung Chromebook Series 5 is a 1.66GHz Atom processor, 2 GB DDR3 RAM and a 16GB SSD. These power 12 “1280 × 800 non-bright 300 nits screen. Atom Processors in my experience are good only because they are low-power CPU and I never found a machine-based Atom is recommended. RAM is marketed as high-speed DDR3, but it is barely faster than DDR2. As for netbooks are less powerful than the machines last year Chromebook.
