Creating a
better, simpler computer and making it available for everyone is at the core of
the Chromebook vision. It’s exciting to see people using Chromebooks as the
perfect additional computer in the home, and we continue to work with our
partners to make them easy-to-use and more affordable. Today, we’re delighted
that our partner Acer is introducing a new addition to the Chromebook family:
the new Acer C7 Chromebook.
The new
Acer C7 Chromebook delivers a hassle-free computing experience with speed,
built-in security and the simplicity of automatic updates. It features a
full-size keyboard, fully clickable trackpad, an extra bright 11.6-inch display
and over 3.5 hours of battery life. Powered by an Intel Core processor, the
Acer Chromebook is fast—boots up in 18 seconds, resumes instantly and
high-definition videos play smoothly (yes, videos like Gangnam Style in 1080p,
in case you’re one of the few left who hasn’t seen it). You can easily store
your stuff on the Chromebook or in the cloud, with a 320GB hard drive and 100GB
of free storage on Google Drive.*
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.
Starting
tomorrow, the Acer Chromebook will be available for $199 in the U.S. on Google
Play, BestBuy.com and rolling out this week in select Best Buy stores. In the
U.K., it’s available on Google Play, Amazon UK, PC World and Currys. We’re
working hard to bring it to more countries soon.
Together
with Acer, it’s great to welcome the newest addition to the Chromebook family.
We hope it will make a great additional computer for your family, too. New Chromebooks, for everyone.
