Why in the world would they use an Intel Core 3, one of the slowest processors when they could at least us the Core 5 which is more then twice as fast and of course most would prefer the Core 7? null

The Core 3 more than meets Google's Chromebook Plus specification. I'm a professional software developer so I'm accustomed to Ryzen 9 and i9 processors for my development machines. I can see absolutely no reason for more than a Core 3 on a Chromebook.

Have you used this Galaxy Chromebook Plus? It is very fast because Chrome OS is very economical of compute resources and the OLED screen is a joy to use! I'm using mine to operate multiple development PCs with Remote Desktop.

Sorry but Chromebooks are light computers, ChromeOS is not a Desktop OS.  they are super comfortable in the lap. the battery last several hours, that won't be if they have a i5, i7 or i9 even  the Chromebooks plus are light and comfy.

You can order a chromebook directly from Dell or HP, with i5  and 16gb ram and 512gb ssd. but they are pricy.  and they are limited by the OS that is not a Desktop OS.   these Chromebooks are not carry by  retail stores because won't, sell, just few people need them or willing to pay the high price.

Answer

There will likely be an i5 version from Samsung, along with 16Gb of RAM, but BestBuy probably won't stock it.
