Its resolution is fantastic, so that’s a good start. And it even comes with a built-in pen, so you don’t need your own. Why We Like It - Samsung Chromebook Pro Convertible (XE510C24-K01US) The Samsung Chromebook Pro Convertible (XE510C24-K01US) offers an enticing device: an affordable 2-in-1 laptop with a built-in pen that has the performance to multitask well and consistently so.

More importantly, its pixel density looks so crisp and clear on a 12.3-inch screen. Colors are really good, too, which makes color accurate tasks that much more useful. It’s touch screen, but also comes with a built-in pen to draw or take notes with. Battery Life The Samsung Chromebook Pro XE510C24 K01US doesn’t skimp on battery life either. You can consistently hit 9 hours on a single charge, provided you’ve made a few tweaks on the backend, power settings, and depending on what you’re doing. That’s what you’d expect from the HP Chromebook 14. Weight & Durability Weighing 2.38 lbs, the Samsung Chromebook Pro Convertible (XE510C24-K01US) is among the lightest 2-in-1 laptops you can pick up.

Inputs And here’s where the Samsung Chromebook Pro Convertible (XE510C24-K01US) Touch Screen Laptop Tablet falters: too few ports.
