Looks like two tech companies don’t want Google to monopolize the high-end Chromebook space. Rumour has it both Samsung and ASUS are looking to upgrade their Samsung Chromebook Pro and ASUS C302CA to match up against Google’s Pixelbook. At the moment, both are powered by the Intel Core m3 processor with 4GB of RAM. The rumoured upgrades might see RAM pushed up to 16GB and the processor changed to an Intel Core m7 one.
In terms of pricing, we don’t a figure yet, which makes sense as the products themselves are rumours at the moment. But it’s expected these two devices might undercut Google’s Pixelbook with a price tag of at least US$800. The Pixelbook’s price starts at US$999. When it comes to the official launch, speculation is it might come by the end of the year or just in time for CES 2018.
