Samsung’s Galaxy Chromebook Plus ($699) surprised me. With a similar aesthetic appeal to the M3 MacBook Air, the long battery life of the Dell XPS 13 and the snappy connectivity of a Galaxy phone, it encapsulates all the best traits of the devices I’m a fan of — and it does it well.
While Chromebooks have done an admirable job finding their spot in an ever-expanding market of laptops, they rarely truly grabbed my attention purely due to their lack of raw power compared to the competition. But the Galaxy Chromebook Plus has changed my expectations for the better, offering speedy performance for everyday tasks that matter — such as web browsing, streaming and working on online documents — in a premium, lightweight metal design.
