Background and Identification

The Samsung Chromebook 2 model xe503c12-k01us is a variation of the Samsung Chromebook 2. Chromebooks are geared more towards simple tasks such as writing and browsing the internet instead of gaming or running multiple applications at the same time. Released in April 2014, this Chromebook offered a viable option for everyday use involving basic computer functions. The Chrome operating system protects against most viruses and malware.

The Samsung Chromebook 2 model xe503c12-k01us includes a Samsung Exynos 5 Octa 1.9 GHz 8-core processor with a 2 MB cache. It is sold with 4 GB of RAM and a 16 GB solid-state drive (SSD). The laptop’s 11.6-inch display includes an LED backlight and an anti-glare, anti-reflective coating. This model includes an ARM Mali-T628 MP6 graphics processor.

Samsung Chromebooks are thin, rectangular laptops. They have both the word “Chromebook” and the Samsung logo printed on the back of their encasing. To identify this device, you can check under the device for an identification sticker. If the sticker is worn or torn off, you can also check by opening up your web browser and type in chrome://version and look for a line marked as Firmware Version. If you copy this into a new page and add Chromebook at the end of a search, it should display your model type.
