Samsung returns with a budget-friendly Chromebook. Will the Galaxy Chromebook Go have enough to disrupt the opposition?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Samsung pulled out of the laptop market in Europe a little while back, which was a shame as I often found their products to be very good. Now, the Korean company is back in the UK (and USA) with a brand new affordable Chromebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, is it a triumphant return? Here\u2019s the full Tech Advisor review of the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Design & Build
\nWhile the name might be a little too close to Google\u2019s Pixelbook Go, the price and reduced specs show that Samsung isn\u2019t quite taking aim at that particular model, but rather offering a simple and affordable Chromebook that should appeal to most people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The plastic casing means that the device is reasonably lightweight (coming in at 1.45kg\/3.2lbs), but you wouldn\u2019t want to drop it too many times. Although, Samsung does state that the device has passed several MIL-STD-810G tests, so it could be tougher than it looks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Silver is the livery of choice here, with the colourful Chrome logo adorning the top corner of the lid, which I have to say is a little more cheery than the monochrome version that\u2019s becoming the norm across Chromebooks in the past year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Turning the device over reveals twin speakers, while the flanks are home to a range of ports that include two USB-C, one USB-A (3.2), microSD card reader, a Nano Security Slot (think Kensington Lock), headphone jack and a SIM card tray. The latter is probably one of the main reasons for the \u2018Go\u2019 part of the name. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Opening up the laptop reveals the 14in display with a webcam sitting above it. The display is surrounded by a textured plastic casing that looks a little cheap, and this motif continues to the keyboard & trackpad surround and keys themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
