Samsung Expands Popular Chromebook Line As Demand Continues to Grow

Samsung announces new Chromebook 3 at CES 2016

LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Samsung Electronics America, Inc. today announced the Chromebook 3, the
latest product in Samsung’s leading Chromebook line. Bringing speed,
simplicity and security in a compact, lightweight form factor, the
Chromebook 3 is the ideal laptop for consumers, businesses and schools
that need a highly portable experience without breaking their budget.

“We’re seeing more and more people flocking to Chromebooks as families,
students and other consumers seek out easy-to-use, highly portable and
affordable laptops as resources for personal use, education and even
work,” said Gary Riding, senior vice president, Mobile Computing at
Samsung Electronics America. “Samsung recognized that demand when we
launched the first-ever Chromebook in 2011. We’re continuing to keep up
with evolving consumer needs with this new iteration, which offers even
more convenient features that solve consumers’ pain points, like all day
battery life and fast charging capabilities.”

The Chromebook 3 was built for mobile use, with features that make it
perfect for carrying between rooms, meetings or classes. It weighs just
over 2.5 pounds, is comfortable to hold and was designed for improved
grip, reducing worry when juggling books, bags or other items along with
the Chromebook. A reinforced metal body adds durability against drops
and spills, adding peace of mind while on-the-go. For ultimate
productivity, the ergonomic keyboard creates a better typing experience,
with UL certified curved keycaps, while the display’s 180-degree hinge
makes sharing content effortless.

The Samsung Chromebook 3 will be available in early 2016 at select
retailers and Samsung.com.
