Google took a step back from making premium Chromebooks when it updated the Pixelbook line with the less premium Pixelbook Go, but it looks like Samsung is picking up the "Premium Chromebook" mantle at CES 2020. Meet the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook, a $1,000 laptop that is looking like the hottest Chrome OS device on the market.

The Galaxy Chromebook is the first Chromebook with a 4K, OLED display. It's the first Chromebook with a 10th-gen Intel processor. At just 9.9mm thick, this aluminum-bodied device is the thinnest Chromebook on the market. The display hinge folds all the way around for a tablet mode, and there's pen support with a stowable pen. There's a backlit keyboard and even a fingerprint scanner, a surprising rarity for Chrome OS devices.

The processor is a 10th Gen Intel Core i5 Comet Lake U-Series with integrated graphics and a fanless design. You get up to 16GB of RAM, up to 1TB of SSD storage, Wi-Fi 6 support, and a 49.2Wh battery.

Interestingly, there are two cameras on the Galaxy Chromebook. The eye-catching one is the black square strangely positioned at the top of the keyboard deck, just above the "1" key. Thankfully this is not meant to be a copy of those terrible "nose cams" that used to be on Dell XPS laptops—for video chat, there's a 1MP front camera mounted in the traditional location at the top of the display bezel. This bottom 8MP camera is for tablet mode, allowing you to awkwardly take pictures of the outside world with a gigantic 13.3-inch viewfinder.

The Galaxy Chromebook not only supports pen input—it comes with a pen that stows inside the laptop. The whole pen assembly looks like it was yanked right off a Galaxy Note assembly line—the pen slides into the right side of the laptop point-first, exposing only the top of the pen. Press the pen in to lock it in place, and press it again to eject it.

The left side of the laptop features a headphone jack, a single USB-C port and a volume rocker, while the right side has an S-Pen holder, a second USB-C port, the power button, and a MicroSD slot. Also on the left and right sides are the 2W side-firing speakers. The fingerprint reader looks like a keyboard key and lives just above "backspace" at the end of the function key row, just like on a MacBook.

Samsung says the Galaxy Chromebook will be out in "Q1 2020" in gray and red.
