Samsung has launched the Galaxy Chromebook 2 360, a 12.4-inch device that the company aims at students. Revealed in the UK, the Galaxy Chromebook 2 360 comes in two configurations, both with an Intel Celeron N4500 processor, eMMC flash storage and 4 GB of LPDDR4x RAM.

Samsung adds that it has included a 1 MP webcam (720p), dual 1.5 W speakers, and a 45.5 Whr battery rated for up to 10 hours of use between charges. Samsung has equipped the Galaxy Chromebook 2 360 with the following ports too:
- 2x USB Type-C
- 1x USB 3.2 Type-A
