Samsung Chromebook 2 With Intel Celeron Improvements Over First Chromebook 2
Samsung had recently released the successor to its Chromebook 2, the Chromebook 2 with Intel Celeron. Though the two devices are only a few months apart, the newer Chromebook 2 sports some considerable improvements over the first one.
On the outside, people might not be able to easily distinguish the two Chromebooks apart seeing as the new Chromebook 2 still has the same 11.6-inch LCD screen with a display resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. The keboard is still the same with the considerable spacing and curved keys as well as the same touchpad.
The major changes are found on the inside of the laptop. The new Chromebook 2 now has an energy-efficient 2.58GHz Intel Celeron processor instead of the Samsung Exynos processor found in the older Chromebook 2. Accompanying the processor are Intel HD graphics, 2GB of RAM, and 16GB of internal memory.

Aside from the changes on the specs of the Chromebook, there's still the two USB ports on the side – a USB 2.0 and a USB 3.0 – a headphone and a microphone jack, an HDMI port and a microSD card slot. The Chromebook 2 with Inel Celeron is also equipped with a 720p webcam with mics as well as stereo speakers.
Samsung's Chromebook 2 with Intel Celeron is priced at $250 and is considerably well-priced, seeing as the laptop is designed for web surfing, watching videos, or listening to music.
