Gone is the 2GHz ARM processor of its predecessor which has been replaced by a more powerful
Intel Celeron 3965Y that’s paired with 4GB of RAM and Intel HD Graphics 615. It ships with 32GB of storage that can be expanded up to 400GB with a microSD card. The Chromebook Plus V2 also features a 39Wh battery.
The front camera has been upgraded to 1-megapixel while there’s a 13-megapixel camera next to the keyboard as well which serves as the rear-facing shooter when the device is in
tablet mode. Other specs include two USB Type-C ports, one USB 3.0 port, a 3.5mm
headphone jack, and a built-in stylus.
Last year’s model had a 12.3-inch 3:2 aspect ratio 2400×1600
pixel resolution display but it has been swapped on the V2 for a 12.2-inch 16:10 aspect ratio 1920×1080 pixel resolution display. Make that what you will of it, many would have preferred if
Samsung had actually improved the device’s display. All of this is packed inside an aluminum alloy chassis that measures 11.34 x 8.19 x 0.63-7.0 inches and weighs 2.93 lbs.
