    Chromebooks have never looked so attractive. The Samsung Chromebook Plus brings style and utility to the category with a clean, eye-catching design, gorgeous 2400 x 1600 display, and great out of the box features such as the embedded stylus. Add in the full Android functionality at launch and you have the complete package.

    Often when we talk about Chromebooks we compare them relative to other devices on the platform, because their performance and utility always felt strained. However, the Samsung Chromebook Plus is not only a great Chromebook, but a solid laptop that delivers an elegant design, top notch display, and array of useful features.

    Nice! Do you still have your review unit, and is there any way you could verify if it's PenTile or true 2400x1600? Based on the review it sounds like it has some great quality characteristics, but I'm hesitant to trust Samsung on the pixel matrix given their track record on the matter.

    I'm not sure the best way to load up the Chroma test image on Chrome OS in a way that won't DPI-scale. If you can full-screen an image, this one which has been canvas-sized to 2400x1600 might work: http://i.imgur.com/Hu2jO9I.png

    Then reference the two pictures in this post to determine whether it's using a true pixel matrix: http://forum.notebookreview.com/thr...840x2160-display-with-full-rgb-matrix.800835/
