The latest Samsung Chrome OS laptop, the Series 5 500, seriously ups its game when it comes to the hardware specification, with the Atom processor of its predecessor replaced by a dual core 1.3GHz Celeron 867 and its 2GB of memory upgraded to 4GB. The hard disk is still a 16GB SSD, which means that the laptop boots almost instantly. The extra processor power means that apps reported as running slowly on previous Chomebooks, such as Angry Birds, run smoothly.
