Samsung Chromebook Series 5 Launches with New Chrome OS

Samsung has a new Chromebook model to go along with Google?s new version of Chrome OS, but it?s still a bit expensive for what it does. The new Samsung Chromebook Series 5 is a laptop with a 12.1-inch display, an Intel Celeron 867 Dual Core (1.3 GHz) CPU, 16GB SSD, and 4GB of RAM. The specs should make the Series 5 Chromebook run Chrome OS smoothly, but even with the new update the OS can?t do as much as a tablet or cheap Windows 7 laptop.
