Following on from the leaked details of Acer’s new AC710 Chromebook yesterday, today Google and Acer have announced the launch of the new Acer C7 Chromebook, running Google’s Chrome operating system.
The new Acer C7 Chromebook has been designed to offer users a hassle-free computing experience, together with built-in security. As detailed yesterday, the new Acer Chromebook is equipped with an 11.6-inch display combined with a battery that is capable of providing over 3.5 hours of use. This makes it an ideal choice for students, professionals, and casual users who need a reliable device for everyday tasks.
Performance and Storage
Acer’s new C7 Chromebook is powered by a 1.1 GHz Intel Celeron 847 Sandy Bridge processor supported by 2GB of RAM. This combination ensures that the Chromebook can handle multiple tasks simultaneously without significant lag. Whether you’re browsing the web, streaming videos, or working on documents, the C7 Chromebook is designed to deliver a smooth performance.
In terms of storage, the Acer C7 Chromebook includes a 320GB hard drive, which is quite generous for a Chromebook. Additionally, users will receive 100GB of free storage on Google Drive for two years. This cloud storage option is particularly useful for those who need to access their files from multiple devices or share documents with others. Google explains:
“As you’d expect from a Chromebook, it’s easy to share with others around the home. Moms, dads, siblings or even your roommate can all have separate accounts and simply log in to get things done. And because Chromebooks bring you the best of Google, if you use products like Gmail, Drive, Maps, YouTube and Google+, your stuff is always available and everything just works.”
Connectivity and Availability
The Acer C7 Chromebook comes with a variety of connectivity options, including three USB 2.0 ports, an HDMI port, and a VGA port. This makes it easy to connect the Chromebook to external displays, projectors, and other peripherals. The device also features a built-in HD webcam, making it suitable for video calls and online meetings.
For wireless connectivity, the C7 Chromebook supports Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, ensuring fast and reliable internet access. This is particularly important for a device that relies heavily on cloud-based applications and services.
The new Acer Chromebook will be available for $199 in the US from today on the Google Play website. It will also be available to purchase from Best Buy stores and their website. This competitive pricing makes the Acer C7 Chromebook an attractive option for budget-conscious consumers who still want a capable and versatile device.
In summary, the Acer C7 Chromebook offers a compelling package for those looking for an affordable, easy-to-use laptop with robust performance and ample storage. Its integration with Google’s suite of applications and services ensures that users can stay productive and connected, whether at home, school, or work.
