Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus: An Ultralight Laptop With an OLED Display and a Dedicated Button to Add Things With AI

  • The Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus is a step forward in ChromeOS laptop design.

  • This model exclusively debuts the new dedicated Gemini button.

Samsung has its Galaxy Book4 Series laptop but is also committed to models with other operating systems. This is the case with the new Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus, a computer running ChromeOS that claims to be the thinnest and lightest in its category.

This laptop stands out for its 15.6-inch OLED screen, up to 13 hours of battery life, and the introduction of the new Quick Insert key. This is a curious, dedicated button that allows you to add links, images, and emoticons with a single click. It uses Gemini, Google’s AI that’s increasingly widespread on Chromebooks.

The Thinnest and Lightest Chromebook

The Galaxy Chromebook Plus is a laptop that weighs 2.58 pounds and is 11.8 millimeters thick. As such, it weighs less than the Book 4 Pro with a 14-inch 3K AMOLED touchscreen but has an equivalent thickness.

The screen is bigger: It has a 15.6-inch OLED panel. The processor is an Intel Core 3 100U (Raptor Lake-R), with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage.

The Quick Insert key is currently exclusive to this Galaxy Chromebook Plus. However, Google says it will be available on more models starting next year.

Users now have quick access to generative AI. The Gemini button generates images directly, corrects text, and adds emojis and GIFs. It also helps perform simple calculations or search for files in Drive. Depending on the app users utilize, the key gives them quick access to one or the other features.

Galaxy Chromebook Plus: Price and Availability

The new Samsung Galaxy Chromebook will begin shipping in October. It will cost $699.

With the purchase of a Chromebook Plus, Samsung will include a one-year 2 TB Google One AI premium plan.
