Samsung unveiled a new Chromebook at this year's CES. The laptop comes in two models - the Chromebook Plus and Chromebook Pro - and Google says they were designed to accommodate Android apps from the Google Play store better.

According to Digital Trends, the new Chromebook has a built-in stylus with digitizer, full accelerometer support, and new context menus, which helps both the device and the user to bridge the gap between form factors. It can be used to take notes in Google Keep, which are instantly synced and available for search using Google's optical character recognition technology.Kan Liu, senior director of product management for Chrome OS, says that the technology makes the Chromebook's stylus more responsive than the Surface Pen used with Microsoft's Surface Pro and Surface Book.

The stylus is at par with the Apple Pencil and Surface Pen, The Verge reported. The website also added that the Chromebook's build quality and performance is satisfactory, and it was able to run Android games like Ashphalt 8 without a hitch.

Both models offer a quad HD (2400 x 1600) pixel screen made with Gorilla Glass 3. The display has a 3:2 aspect ratio, which gives it a more natural feel when being used as a tablet. Another new feature is the button in the bottom right corner of the screen, which activates a multi-window feature. Users will be able to work on multiple apps at the same time, instead of switching between tabs.

The difference between the Chromebook Plus and Chromebook Pro is the processor. Plus has an ARM hexa-core chip of Samsung's own making called the OP1, while Pro has an Intel Core m3-6y30 in the Pro. The price is another difference. Chromebook Plus will start at $449, while the Chromebook Pro is expected to be a little bit more costly. Plus will be available in February but Pro won't be available until this spring.
