Today is that day, everyone! At many Best Buy stores across the country, you can now walk in and pick up a Galaxy Chromebook Plus for yourself. I’ll be releasing a video later today (hopefully) and can’t wait to share it with you, but there’s only so much I can say in a video. You may need to see or touch the device yourself to really understand what I mean.
This is more true of the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus than any previous Chromebook. Not a single person I handed the Chromebook to was surprised by the thin, light chassis. It’s something you really have to experience for yourself.
My wife has never been impressed with any new gadgets I own, but she was even more surprised when I handed her the Galaxy Chromebook Plus. I expected her to make the same sarcastic remarks to me as before. Wow, honey, that’s nice… response. But she was deeply impressed by the device, even without opening it. When I showed her the seemingly impossible one-finger lift (which has this light on the chassis) and the gorgeous OLED screen, she actually seemed impressed by it, so I I was a little shocked.
And that was also the story with a few people in my social circle to whom I showed this Chromebook. After all, a laptop is just a laptop most of the time, right? Even though it has become so banal from a technology perspective, is there still magic in its build quality? Apparently so!
try it yourself
There’s a lot to love about this great Chromebook beyond the build quality and AMOLED screen, but there’s no denying the fact that both are big reasons why I look forward to picking up this product every time. I’ve been using it for a few days now and I feel dizzy just taking it out of my bag to use. It’s something you have to feel yourself.
And now you can do it without much effort. Smaller Best Buy stores like ours don’t have them on display yet, but many of the larger stores in our area do, which means the same is probably true for you. . When you visit Best Buy’s Galaxy Chromebook Plus listing, you’ll see on the right where the nearest store is to see and experience it.
The list of stores with display models will likely grow even further this week, so keep checking back even if your store isn’t closed today. The other option is to take my word for it, which is something pretty special. Order one for yourself. With your purchase, you’ll get an extra $50 gift card from Best Buy, so this is certainly a great offer. Alternatively, Samsung’s website gives you quite a few trade-in value options and the choice to add two years of accidental damage protection to your purchase for just $99. Either way, I don’t think you will be disappointed if you get your hands on it.
