As far as low-cost connected computers go, it’s hard to beat a Chromebook in terms of value for money as well as basic functionality. Acer’s Chromebook 11 takes a lot of the simplicity of Chrome OS but also gives us many of the features we expect from a dominant PC maker like Acer.
Chromebooks, which are cloud-connected devices that require constant Internet access, are notorious for low-end specs. This includes paltry processors and tiny storage space plus very little expansion capabilities.
The Acer Chromebook 11 makes things more interesting with an actual Intel Celeron processor (dual-core 2.16 GHz, with 2 GB of RAM as well as Intel HD graphics).
There’s also some surprising I/O. The Acer Chromebook 11 has Bluetooth 4.0, USB 3.0, USB 2.0 and HDMI ports. The SD card reader enables a way to access and transfer files. All-in-all, a good set of features for a device that’s considered entry-level for CAD $249.00.
