Is this coincidence or kind of promotional act? Apart from the leaked specs and the unboxing video of Chromebox due to a (probably) accidental sale, Samsung’s another Chrome OS product, the second generation Chromebox, was also found leaked. Newegg.com had the listing of this new laptop, called Edison, on their web site. The page was removed but you could (temporarily) find a cached page here.
Did you see the $549.99 price tag? I believe this is a price of an ordinary Windows laptop rather than a netbook or Chromebook. Unless Samsung is so confident that customers would find Chromebook as good as an ordinary laptop, I could hardly understand this pricing strategy.
This new Chromebook is named Samsung Edison XE550C22-H01US. It has a 1.3 GHz Intel Celeron 867 dual core processor, 4GB memory, Intel HD Graphics 3000 graphics processor, 16GB SSD, 802.11a/b/g/n WiFi, Gigabit Ethernet and support for HSPA mobile network (for 3G version). Obviously Samsung enhanced the machine with a faster CPU and more memory. Have a look at a video released earlier this year to refresh your memory about how it looks like:
