Samsung’s Series 5 ChromeBook may look like a notebook and act like a
notebook, but it can do much more in the classroom. Rather than Mac, Windows or
Linux, it uses Google’s ChromeBook software, which starts up faster and reduces
maintenance expenses compared to the typical classroom computer. It weighs
3-pounds, carries a 12.1-inch WXGA screen and uses Intel’s 1.3GHz Celeron 867
processor. Because it stores most of its programs and data in the cloud, the
ChromeBook 5 only needs 16GB of on-board solid-state storage space and costs
$450. Booth 1215.
