Samsung объявляет о выходе на американский рынок нового портативного компьютера Chromebook Plus (V2)











Samsung анонсировал новую версию портативного компьютера-трансформера Chromebook Plus (V2) . Как и вышедший в прошлом году Samsung Chromebook Plus, новое устройство представляет собой трансформируемый ноутбук с поворачивающимся на 360 градусов сенсорным экраном, и у него тоже имеется цифровой стилус S Pen.
Вместе с тем 12,2-дюймовый экран Chromebook Plus V2 с соотношением сторон 16:10 имеет разрешение 1920×1080 точек, а не 2400×1600 точек, как у предыдущей модели. Это позволит увеличить время автономной работы, так как новый ноутбук базируется на процессоре Intel Celeron 3965Y, а не на чипе ARM, который используется в оригинальной модели. Ёмкость батареи хромбука составляет 39 Вт·ч.
Ноутбук-трансформер, работающий под управлением Chrome OS, поставляется с 4Гб оперативной памяти и флеш-накопителем ёмкостью 32Гб с возможностью расширения памяти до 400Гб благодаря поддержке карт microSD.
Фронтальная камера ноутбука получила разрешение 1 Мп, а рядом с клавиатурой находится объектив 13-Мп камеры с диафрагмой f/1,9 и автофокусом, которая служит в качестве тыльной камеры, когда устройство используется в режиме планшета. Остальные характеристики включают два порта USB Type-C, один порт USB 3.0 и 3,5-мм разъём для наушников.
Корпус хромбука выполнен из сплава алюминия. Изогнутые края делают его удобным при использовании в качестве планшета. Размеры Chromebook Plus V2 составляют 288×208×16–17,8 мм, вес — 1,33 кг.
Цена Chromebook Plus V2 составляет $499, что на $50 выше, чем у предшественника. 24 июня новинка поступит в продажу в США в онлайн-магазине ретейлера Best Buy, а также в его розничную сеть.
