Bottom line: Samsung starts off CES week on the right foot with the introduction of the Galaxy Chromebook, a premium 2-in-1 that “redefines what a Chromebook can be.” If you've been waiting for a high-end Chromebook that isn't a Pixelbook, this may be it.

Samsung’s thinnest Chromebook to date, the new portable packs a 13.3-inch 4K AMOLED Display touch screen (3,840 x 2,160 resolution) driven by a 10th generation Intel Core-i5 Processor, Intel UHD Graphics, up to 16GB of LPDDR3 RAM and as much as 1TB of solid state storage.

Other amenities include Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+), 802.11 ax 2x2, a 1-megapixel front-facing video camera, a secondary 8-megapixel camera on the keyboard deck, a dual digital array + mono mic, two 2W stereo speakers, an integrated fingerprint reader, a backlit keyboard and built-in Pen support.

The system is constructed primarily of aluminum and measures just 9.9mm thick with slim 3.9mm bezels framing the display. It packs a 49.2Wh battery which, according to The Verge, should be good for around eight hours of uptime per charge.

Samsung’s new Galaxy Chromebook will be available in a stunning Fiesta Red or a much more subdued Mercury Gray from Q1 2020 starting at $999.99. Expect more details to emerge at CES this week.

Only an imbecile would buy a 13.3" monitor with 4K resolution. It's not like you can see the pixels on such a tiny monitor. So what's the purpose of 4K resolution on a micro monitor? To make games even slower? As if Intel integrated graphics isn't already slow enough, even on normal HD resolutions.

But then again, there are even bigger imbeciles. Those who have 4K resolution on phones. Imagine that... they can't see the pixels even with the magnifying glass, but at least the display is slower and drains the battery in shorter time. At least something...
