Google unveils $249 11.6-inch Samsung Chromebook with Exynos 5 (Cortex-A15) chip
Today Google announced that a new Samsung Chromebook was going on sale for only $249. The device features a 11.6-inch display, 16 GB SSD, 2 GB RAM, 1.7 GHz dual-core Exynos 5250 chip, and weighs only 2.4 lbs. A model with a built in 3G modem is selling for $329. I don’t know how Android fans feel about Chromebooks, but they should be excited to see Samsung’s new Exynos 5 Dual chip finally in production.
We have already covered the Exynos 5 in-depth, but to recap it features two Cortex-A15 CPU cores and a Mali-T604 GPU. This chip has already been spotted in an Android device, but nothing has been officially announced. Now that the Chromebook is available to order, it could mean we will see this mysterious Samsung Android device appear before the end of the year.
I’m not sure if a Chromebook can fully replace a PC yet, but it is getting closer every day. If I had to choose between a Chromebook and an ARM-based Windows RT laptop, I think I would easily go with the Chromebook. It is half the price of the Windows RT devices, and it features a much faster Cortex-A15 processor compared to the older Cortex-A9 chips in the Windows devices.
Hit up the source link for more info and let us know what you think. Would you consider a Chromebook for yourself or as a gift to a family member?
Not Android related but this is pretty awesome for the price and what it offers. Google is really shaken things up. I'm getting this for the holidays for my mom, my cr-48 hinge assembly brokesuch a great laptop.

does the note 2 have better specs
does the note 2 have better specs
If just "looking at specs" ]
The Note 2 has a Exynos quad-core 1.6ghz cortex-A9 chipset. while you make think quad-core is the key feature of it being a better device, that is not true here. You pay close attention to "CORTEX-A9" this is the architecture of the chipset and this chipset is getting old. The chromebook has a dual-core 1.7ghz "CORTEX-A15 chipset the architecture on this chip is a true performer and is competing with very close to laptop and desktop processors but not out performing.
Also your comparing a phone/tablet hybrid against a actual with laptop. Two different form factor, two different experiences.
to wrap it up Its not about the ghz or quad this or dual that, the "ARCHITECTURE" of chipset is the most important part.
Happy birthday +Galaxy Nexus, you were born one year ago, on October 19th. Soon you are going to meet your younger brother(s)
