While it had great acceptance in the market, Google continues to renew its Chromebooks. The catalog of notebooks with Chrome OS was a new model Samsung in late October, but now it’s time to talk about Acer C7 . The launch of the device was scheduled for today, November 13, on Google Play Store.

Acer Chromebook Renewed repeats some of the specifications of the model created by the Korean company, but it also has unique features. The equipment includes a 11.6-inch display with resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. The interior boasts an Intel Core, 2 GB of RAM and 320GB hard GB .

Storage capacity is one of the surprising and exceeds Acer C7 clearly the Samsung model, which only includes a 16GB SSD. Those interested in saving your files in the cloud also receive 100 GB of free space on Google Drive for two years .

Acer The new device also includes:

HD Webcam;
3 USB 2.0;

WiFi and Ethernet Connectivity

;

HDMI and VGA ports

Acer weakest point of C7 is its battery only lasts 3.5 hours, against the 6.5 offered by the Samsung Chromebook. Anyway looks like a good entry model because it costs $ 199 .

Ubuntu in the new Google Chromebook

few days ago Google and Samsung announced the availability of new models of its low cost ultrabooks, Chromebooks celebrities based Chrome OS, which had as main difference the use of ARM processors instead Intel Atom processor traditional.

This has two effects

clear in the new models: the first, a reduction in price, as these Chromebooks are available for $ 249. The second side effect is logical: ARM processors including these models are less powerful , and it shows in the overall performance of about Chromebooks that nevertheless may not be valid for very demanding sessions and navigation Work with office documents.

One idea to get more out of this model is the ability install a Linux distribution on it so we do not have the limitations of Chrome OS -an operating system that is entirely “of the cloud “- and a Google employee has tried installing Ubuntu on Chromebook via an SD card and has described the whole process.

can read all his experience in an article posted on his Google+ account, but in summary, although this procedure is possible, we have to use very specific-SD card, Ubuntu performance is rather poor , not least because the hardware support is not quite perfect . Still, it’s an interesting idea, and in fact it is possible to install the distribution in the storage unit itself new Chromebook from Google and Samsung, something that in theory should improve performance significantly, although the engineer chose to keep the partition of Chrome OS untouched.
