All Specs
Looked at alongside the Samsung Chromebook 4+ we recently reviewed, the Samsung Chromebook 4, with no plus sign, is really minus 4 minus 4 inches, that is. It s a compact Chromebook with an 11.6-inch screen versus a big 15.6-inch panel in the style of a desktop replacement. Both are bare-bones economy systems, but this Chromebook (starts at $229.99; $242.51 as tested) is a bit more successful than its bigger sibling. Besides being easier to carry, it has better battery life, and its low screen quality is less noticeable at the smaller size. It s not a delight, but it s a decent grab-and-go laptop if you re a student or simply have a strict budget.
Samsung has announced that its Chromebook 4 and Chromebook 4+ are now available in Canada directly from the company’s Samsung Experience Stores and its online store.
The Chromebook 4 features an 11.6-inch screen and weighs 1.18kg, while the Chromebook 4+ features a bigger 15.6-inch display and weighs in at 1.7kg. Regarding battery life, Samsung says that the Chromebook 4 can last up to 12 hours and that the Chromebook 4+ is capable of lasting 10 hours.
The Chromebook 4 and 4+ feature up to 32GB of storage, 4G of memory and an Intel Celeron N4000 processor. Further, the Chromebook 4 features a single USB-C port, and the Chromebook 4+ includes one USB 3.0 port and 2 USB-C ports.
