Samsung has a premium Chromebook with stylus in the works


Rumors of a new Chromebook nicknamed ‘Kevin’ were circulating the web and ChromeUnboxed and SamMobile found the yet-to-be-announced model through a series of retailer listings: the Samsung Chromebook Pro.


ChromeUnboxed noted that it had received a user tip of a listing for the device on B&H, which was quickly taken down. However, the site turned up a listing for the Chromebook on Adorama, as well as a landing page for the device.

The Pro also looks like being the first Chromebook to come with a stylus. There's a 360-degree hinge, minimal bezels, and the whole deal weighs in at a mere 1.08kg. It's made from aluminum and is 13.9mm thick, according to the leaked specs.


SamMobile found the same leak on Samsung's Korean website: the Chromebook will come rocking a 12.3-inch touchscreen (2400 x 1600 pixel resolution), a 2GHz hexacore processor, 32GB of onboard storage, 4GB of RAM a stylus, an all-metal 12.9 mm-thick body and 10 hours of battery time. Those are pretty high-end specs for one of Google's Chrome OS-powered devices, it seems to be designed with Android app support in mind.


The device is currently listed for pre-order on Adorama with a $499 price tag. There's no official release date listed, but ChromeUnboxed reported that the since-deleted B&H product page listed October 24th for availability.
