Acer America has launched the Acer C7 Chromebook, its next-generation mobile computer running Google’s Chrome operating system. The Acer C7 Chromebook is priced at $199.
Sundar Pichai (Senior vice president, Chrome and Apps, Google): The core of Google’s Chromebook vision is creating a better, more simple computing experience and making it available to everyone.
The Acer C7 boots in less than 18 seconds and resumes nearly instantly from sleep mode. Users can access their favorite apps with a single click through the app launcher. It weighs 3.05 pounds and is one inch thin, and comes with an integrated HD 1.3MP webcam and microphones.
The Acer C7 Chromebook also enables users to get online at 30,000 feet with free Gogo in-air Internet passes. It comes with 12 free passes that can be used over two years on domestic U.S. flights.
The Acer C710-2847 will be available starting Tuesday on the Google Play store, at Best Buy stores and on BestBuy.com.
