The New Google Chromebook Comes Wrapped In (Faux) Leather

The Chromebook satisfies so many computing needs: it's affordable, it works well, and it is the ultimate cloud device. Now, Samsung is releasing one that matches your favorite jacket.

The Chromebook 2 has a leather exterior, which gives it a kind of retro Casio vibe that is sure to please, and three colorways. And for all you people who love the Chrome OS AND hate cruelty to animals, you've got nothing to fear - it's fake leather. It comes in 11.6 and 13.3 inch versions, although we all know which will impress more at the leather bar.

And it boasts an updated screen, more memory, and a better processor. Just don't use it around any cows.
