Samsung Chromebook 4
Score: 78/100Rankings
The Samsung Chromebook 4 is an 11.6" budget-friendly Chrome OS device with a durable build, long battery life, and modern ports. Its modest specs-4 GB RAM and 32 GB eMMC-make it best suited for web-centric tasks and students, while the lack of a touchscreen and limited storage may deter power users.
The Samsung Chromebook Plus V2 is a 12.2" 2-in-1 convertible with a sharp WUXGA display and an integrated active stylus, aimed at students and casual users. While its build quality and port selection are strong points, the modest Celeron CPU, limited RAM, and short battery life hold back performance.
