Before we start tearing this device apart, let's do a little comparing to Google's previous developer-only Chromebook, the Cr-48.

The outer exterior of the Series 5 is much more elegant than its ancestors, and a bit slimmer as well.

Both feature nearly identical keyboards, and playing around with the machine for a bit revealed that the Series 5's trackpad is an improvement from the Cr-48.

Sadly, Samsung's legalese-speaking technical writing department made their safety instructions much more boring than those included with the Cr-48.

Enough jabber, let's crack this thing open!
