The Samsung Chromebook Pro – which was previously codenamed "Kevin" – was listed on electronics retailer B&H's website and on Adorama before being taken down, according to technology blog "Chrome Unboxed." Key specs of the device include: 12.3-inch touchscreen display, 360-degree hinge, 32GB of storage, as well as Stylus that Samsung is calling "PEN." The device will cost $499 with a release date of October 24, according to the listings on the e-commerce websites. This may change however.
