Probably won't last long: Samsung's only OLED Chromebook is now 50% off

The first-generation Chromebook Galaxy didn’t quite set the world on fire, even with its bright red paint job. Despite being sleek and stylish and its 13.3-inch AMOLED 4K touchscreen is stunning, the paltry battery life in early reviews made it a constant target for discounts. If you can live with short battery life, Samsung is selling it today for the lowest price I’ve ever seen before: Just $ 499.

That’s half the original retail price and hundreds less than what we’ve seen so far for the model with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of SSD storage. It is powered by a 10th Gen Intel Core i5 processor (a nice step up from most Chromebooks) and features a reversible hinge, dual USB-C ports, a stylus pen with built-in compartment, microSD card slot and fingerprint. the sensor is built into the power button. It even has an optional webcam on the keyboard if you want tablet-style photography. Samsung sells this new unit with an all-aluminum body in Fiesta Red or (if you’re bored) Mercury Gray.

Samsung replaced this model with the Galaxy Chromebook 2 in 2021, ditching the expensive AMOLED display for the 1080p QLED screen and Celeron or i3 processor. It’s a much cheaper and more practical design and probably sells much better as these trade-offs (and a more massive chassis) resulted in much better battery life. But if you’re still craving the stylish luxury of an original design, you can hardly find one from a mainstream seller for much longer.

  Your excuses for a sedentary lifestyle quickly fade away. The weather is improving, the days are getting longer, and if you’re lucky, you’ll soon be energized and ready to hit the road and conquer the world. Many of us put a little extra effort into getting out and active, hoping to lose some of this pandemic weight (and maybe some), and there is no better tool to help you with this than a good smartwatch. Samsung has rolled out fresh updates for several of its latest models this week. Yesterday Samsung started distributing firmware R840XXU1BUE3 for its Galaxy Watch3 as well as R820XXU1DUE3 for Watch Active2 … None of these updates are particularly serious, and both watches use the same version of Tizen 5.5.0.2. What we’re really hearing about is a few small changes to iconography, both for the inactive warning icon and for the automatic detection of walking / running glyphs. And each of these models should receive regular stability improvements. But give...
