Acer AC700-1099 Chromebook (Wi-Fi)

Acer Chromebook Wi-Fi Chromebook the distinction of being the first commercial, which is made by Samsung, Acer Chromebook Wi-Fi will sell for $ 349, while the Samsung model will sell for $ 429 (Wi-Fi.) and $ 499 (Wi-Fi and 3G capable), I tried Chromebook CR-48 for the last five months. During this time I came to see the positive and negative effects of this device Wi-Fi Chromebook page will be updated Intel Atom processor, which should be developed.

I think most people would be happy with this device, as long as you understand two things: a.

This will not replace Windows or Mac if you use a program like Photoshop, it will still be necessary for your PC or Mac

2, it may be best to buy the Wi-Fi hotspot and your smart phone or a Wi-Fi hotspot Buy Wi-Fi providers like Verizon or Sprint that you can use. Web across multiple devices, instead of paying for the 3G on your Chromebook.

Here are some of the strengths and weaknesses to consider.

In the foreground.

A slight

Two very long battery life. (I usually set my office every other day).

3 rather quickly. On the web I found Chromebook load really fast.

4 The Angry - yes, they added the Chrome web application I get angry that lets you play angry birds.

5 sandboxing - you can Google, but I think it's an added level of security on the web.

6 Save the Cloud - all files are linked to the cloud so you do not have to back up your laptop on a regular basis.

7 updates regular updates of the release of Google Chrome OS every 2-3 weeks, which makes it stable and secure.

8 HDMI outputs is also good for those who are traveling or at home.

9 Netflix, Hulu, and other video streaming is supported in the end. (I'm not in beta testing of CR-48).

10 Support for streaming music from the Amazon cloud services, Google Music, Pandora, etc.

Cons (or could be considered a part).

1 Turn on the Chrome OS only, you can download the Windows or Mac for many people this means that they still need a Mac or a PC, especially if you are running a program like Photoshop I use Photoshop Lightroom. and often I use mine all Chromebook anything. This could be a problem for some. But I am not yet willing to give up my Chromebook.

2 The cost can be a bit 'high for some people. Since this is not a PC or Mac to completely price, this can cost you close to the tablet (iPad or Xoom?) I like the form factor and the fact that I have the keys. printed in full on their work on the touch screen on the tablet and the tablet will be more than perfect. But I thought that I would like to emphasize this point.

The first three are always kinks to work with Google, I'm pretty sure this is not the case. My experience with CR-48 is better resolved in the works and a couple of weeks, Google, even by car. It may not be a problem. But it is worth noting.

4, no optical drive. You can not play CDs or DVDs on this device. You must use the USB or SD card with Netflix, Hulu, and many other options, this is rapidly becoming a non-issue. Moreover, with the ability to store a lot of cloud storage and USB / SDHC storage, light is not really necessary as it used to be. That said, changes are needed to get used to.
