Many users often lament over the fact that Google didn't give priority to Chromebooks last year. With Google Play Store and Android Apps, coming into the scene, it was the right time to push forth Chrome OS.

According to Time,right after Google announced its Chromebooks to be compatible with Android, several Chrome supported laptops from tech giants plunged into the race.  Be it Asus, Acer or Samsung, none of the tech biggies wanted to stay behind.

Now, this race is only becoming a little bigger with tech giant, Samsung planning to release two new Chromebooks. These will be able to run similar apps just like any Android smartphone. The two models are likely to be named Samsung Chromebook Plus and Samsung Chromebook Pro.

Both these models are expected to include touch screen that will be able to move 360 degrees making it similar to a tablet. Now, the flexibility along with the feature to run all Android apps will give the users a feel like using an Android tablet.Here, the users need to keep in mind that the pre installed Google Play Store in the Chromebooks run in beta.

Like Samsung smartphone, both these models are likely to include a stylus that will allow users to jot down notes or highlight contents. Now, Samsung is also modifying its stylus compatibility with ArtCanvas for sketching purpose as well as Google Keep to allow taking notes. Amazing, isn't it?

As per Engadget, both the Chromebooks might come in 12.3 inch size along with having a resolution display of 2,400×1,600.Well, those who are planning to buy any of these models, should know the resolution display is sharper than all its competitors. Chrome Plus will run on ARM processor, while Chrome Pro is likely to run on Intel Core m3 processors. Both these are affordably priced.

Samsung's announcement has come right after the leaked image of Chromebook Pro in October.
