Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Go LTE version now available in the U.S. for $349

Samsung announced the Galaxy Chromebook Go last month and it revealed that an LTE version will be available soon. That version is now available for pre-order in the U.S., unfortunately, it doesn’t bring anything more, save for having a SIM slot.

The Galaxy Chromebook Go LTE is priced at $349 ($4.86/mo) on AT&T according to Android Police, $50 more than the Wi-Fi version. This extra cost gets you a nano-SIM card slot on the right side of the computer. The rest of the specs remain unchanged which is a disappointment as we expected the LTE version will have a touchscreen as we reported a few weeks ago, and maybe even more RAM and storage.

The screen is a 14-inch LED panel with a 1366 x 768 resolution and a 180° hinge. There is an Intel Celeron N4500 processor under the hood along with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, Thankfully, a MicroSD card slot on the left allows you to add up to 512GB of extra storage. The Chromebook also has a 1MP 720p webcam.

Samsung says the Galaxy Chromebook Go supports LTE bands 2, 4, 5, 12, 29, and 66. It also has support for dual-band Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth 5.1. For ports, it has two USB Type-C ports, a USB 3.0 port, and a headphone-out/microphone-in combo port. There is a 42.3Wh battery inside that should provide up to 12 hours of use and last up to 13 days on standby. It will charge up to 50% in 50 minutes while a full charge takes 130 minutes.

Those who pre-order the LTE version are expected to receive it between August 23 and August 25. We hope Samsung will launch other variants with a touchscreen and more RAM and storage.

Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Go advert shows LTE version will have a touchscreen

The Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Go is now available for purchase for $299. That price gets you the base model with Wi-Fi 6 and 32GB of storage. Samsung confirmed that an LTE version will be available soon but it appears LTE connectivity won’t be the only major difference.

Samsung has released a video advert for the Galaxy Chromebook Go, and while the title of the video doesn’t say, it is specifically for the LTE version. We noticed that the ad reveals one important detail, actually a feature the standard WI-Fi model doesn’t have.

At the 0:40 second mark of the video, we see the boy interact with the display via touch input which means the device has a touchscreen. This feature is not available on the Wi-Fi version and comes as a surprise as the official spec page doesn’t mention a touchscreen is available on select models.

With the addition of a touchscreen, the LTE version of the Galaxy Chromebook Go may cost significantly more. The notebook is also expected to be available with 8GB of RAM and in 64GB and 128GB storage options. With these specs, the highest-specced variant of the Galaxy Chromebook Go will definitely cross the $400 mark. If you decide to pick up a USI stylus, then you may be spending as much as $450.

The Galaxy Chromebook Go has a 14-inch 1366 x 768 TFT display. It is powered by an Intel Celeron N4500 processor and packs a 42.3Wh battery that should provide up to 12 hours of usage on a single charge. It has Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.1, and a nano-SIM slot for the LTE version. There are two USB-C ports, a single USB A (3.2) port, and a mic/headphone combo jack. Samsung ships it with a 45W USB-C power brick.

We still don’t know when the LTE version will be available but once it is available for purchase, we will be sure to let you know.

Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Go is now available for $299

Habeeb Onawole — Thu, 15 Jul 2021 21:02:19 +0000

Last month, the Galaxy Chromebook Go appeared on Samsung’s website as a new affordable Chromebook from the manufacturer. However, save for a few specs and images, there were still a lot of unknown details about the 14-inch device. Now, the notebook is official and available for purchase.

The Galaxy Chromebook Go has a 14” LED screen with a 1366 x 768 resolution. The display brightness is on the low side at 220 nits and it doesn’t have a touchscreen, so don’t expect to use a USI stylus on this. However, it does have a 180° hinge allowing you to lay it flat.

Powering the Chromebook is an Intel Celeron N4500 and it is paired with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of eMMC storage. While 32GB is really small, there is a MicroSD card slot for additional storage.

For ports, the Galaxy Chromebook Go has two USB Type-C ports, a USB 3.0 port, and a headphone-out/microphone-in combo port. Samsung says the Chromebook has a military-grade design while being its lightest Chromebook yet at 3.2lbs (1.45kg). It can survive the occasional drops and the island-type keyboard is spillproof. There are two 1.5W speakers and you also get the much faster Wi-Fi 6.

While not as long as the 18 hours of battery life the Galaxy Book Go boasts, the Galaxy Chromebook Go still offers an impressive 12 hours of battery life on a single charge. It also charges faster at 45W and you get a charger in the box.

The Galaxy Chromebook Go is priced at $299 and is already available for purchase on Samsung’s website. If you have a device that can be traded in, you can pick it up for as low as $129.99. Samsung has revealed that an LTE version will be available soon.

The Galaxy Chromebook Go is not a Galaxy Book Go running Chrome OS

Habeeb Onawole — Mon, 21 Jun 2021 21:34:32 +0000

When the Galaxy Book Go was announced, I hoped (maybe even prayed) for Samsung to launch a Chrome OS version – the same specs but just a different operating system. Now, Samsung has listed the Galaxy Chromebook Go on its website but it’s not what I want or rather, expected.

The Galaxy Chromebook Go hasn’t yet been officially announced yet but its specs have been published.

With respect to its design, the Chromebook has a dull white exterior, although Samsung calls it silver. However, the inside is entirely black, down to its keyboard. While more attractive colors would have been appreciated, this does not look bad. Considering this is an entry-level model, the body is definitely made of polycarbonate.

Coming to its specs, the Galaxy Chromebook’s display is a 14.0-inch TFT HD screen with a 1366 x 768 resolution. It has a 180º hinge but it isn’t a touch display.

Samsung has opted for the Celeron N4500, one of Intel’s new Jasper Lake processors announced earlier this year. It has a 6W TDP which should translate to low power consumption and incredible battery life.

Samsung will offer the Galaxy Chromebook Go in 4GB and 8GB LPDDR4X RAM versions with 32GB, 64GB, or 128GB of eMMC storage. Thankfully, there is a MicroSD card slot if you need more storage. There are also two USB-C ports, a USB 3.2 port, a Nano security slot, and a headphone plus microphone combo jack. The LTE version will have a Nano-SIM slot.

The Galaxy Chromebook Go also Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.1, a 720p webcam, and stereo speakers. It packs a 42.3Wh battery that charges via a 45W Type-C charger.

We expect a proper announcement along with details of pricing and availability will be made soon. However, if we were to take a guess, this should start at under $350 for the base model, maybe even $299 considering the display is an HD panel and the base model has 32GB of storage. The LTE version, most likely limited to the model with more RAM and storage will definitely be close to $400 or higher.
