Ok Acer just announced starting Today they will start selling a their Acer C7 Chromebook for a low low $199. If you ever considered getting a Chromebook with this price how can you say no?? Here is what you get 11.6’’ (1366x768) display ■1 inch thin – 3 lbs / 1.4 kg ■3.5 hours of battery1 ■Intel® Core™ processor ■100 GB Google Drive Cloud Storage2 with 320 GB Hard Disk Drive ■Dual band Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n and Ethernet ■HD Camera ■3x USB 2.0 ■1x HDMI Port, 1x VGA port
As you can see you not only do you get 320GB hard drive but you also get 100GB of Cloud storage free for 2 years. I must say im not truly convinced of the Chromebook but with everything being in the cloud why not?? The Chromebook uses google Chrome OS and is all web based. It pretty much a big android phone so we have all these apps that help with our productivity so it should be a easy move right?? Google Docs take the place of your Office Suite and can do all those things and with google drive you can save all you docs in the cloud and pull them up where ever you have an internet connection. No more leaving your stuff at home and not have access.
Music can be streamed using any of the many internet based services out there like Pandora, Slacker, Rdio, IHeart Radio as well as your Google Music collection. Photo editing can be done with apps out there. I sure hope Santa gets me this for Christmas (wink wink) to the wife :-) and then i can do a more indepth review of these Chromebooks for you guys and see if its the wave of the Future.
