A press release from Samsung has announced the addition of the Chromebook Plus V2 (LTE) to the South Korean manufacturer’s extensive line-up. Apparently developed with the assistance of major technology players like Google and Intel, the latest Chromebook Plus V2 variant offers LTE connectivity. The promotional post goes on to highlight how the device is aimed at those who desire on-the-go Internet connectivity without having to rely on constantly seeking out Wi-Fi access.

The regular non-LTE version of the Samsung Chromebook Plus V2 (XE521QAB-K01US) came with 4 GB RAM and an Intel Celeron 3965Y processor. It also featured a 12.2-inch Full HD WUXGA LED (16:10 aspect ratio), two USB Type-C ports, and it even had stereo speakers. The stealth-silver Samsung device also presented a 1 MP camera at the front and made space for a 13 MP camera on the keyboard deck.

The new Samsung Chromebook Plus V2 (LTE) device will be available from November 2 for purchase. It will be possible to pick up the Chromebook directly from Samsung, or customers can choose from either Best Buy or Verizon to purchase the device, which will have a starting price of US$599.99.
