Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Go

Price: £399 from fave.co/3LwiOTu

Samsung pulled out of the laptop market in Europe a little while back, which was a shame as I often found their products to be very good. Now, the South Korean company is back in the UK with a brand new affordable Chromebook. So, is it a triumphant return? Read on to find out.

DESIGN

While the name might be a little too close to Google’s Pixelbook Go, the price and reduced specs show that Samsung isn’t quite taking aim at that particular model, but rather offering a simple and affordable Chromebook that should appeal to most people.

The plastic casing means that the device is reasonably lightweight (coming in at 1.45kg), but you wouldn’t want to drop it too many times. Although, Samsung does state that the device has passed several MIL-STD-810G tests, so it could be tougher than it looks.

Silver is the livery of choice here, with the colourful Chrome logo adorning the top corner of the lid, which I have to say is a little more cheery than the monochrome version that’s becoming the norm across Chromebooks in the past
