As Microsoft ushers in Windows 8 in a bid to unify laptops, desktops, tablets and smartphones all under one OS, Google continues to push the concept of cloud storage and working inside the speedy confines of its Chrome web browser by announcing the Samsung Series 3 Chromebook.
Samsung Series 3 Chromebook: Size and build
The Series 3 maintains the same stylish, slender design that has a MacBook-esque feel to it, until you actually put your hands on it and realise that it is a grey plastic chassis as opposed to an aluminium like the one found on the pricey Apple laptop.
Samsung Chromebook: Features
Not a great deal has changed from the Chrome OS relying on Wi-Fi and a Gmail account to get access to the speedy browser syncing bookmarks and tabs from desktop and mobile versions and opening access to applications like Gmail, YouTube, Google Play, Maps and Drive. Google Docs offer offline support which still makes it useful even when you don’t have an internet connection.
One thing we have to get used to of course is that everything is saved and stored in the cloud, and while there is 16GB of built-in flash storage, you will have to make good use of Google Drive with 100GB of room offered for free for the first two years.
