Haswell comes to Chromebooks with Acer's new C720-2800 for just $250 |
October 10, 2013
The first Haswell-based Chromebook has arrived, a scant month after we saw a tantalizing array of prototypes at the Intel Developer Forum. Acer announced Thursday that the C720-2800, an initial model of its C720 Chromebook product line, would be available for pre-order at Amazon.com and BestBuy.com, for an affordable price tag of $250. Acer says additional models will become available in the near future.
This C720-2800 features an Intel Celeron 2955U processor, with 4GB of memory and a 16GB SSD for storage. Its 11.6-inch HD display has a resolution of 1366 by 768 pixels and a "ComfyView" antiglare matte finish.
An HDMI port provides output to an external display. Other components include 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, an HD webcam, microphone, dual speakers, an SD card slot, and one each of USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports. The full-size keyboard has island-style keys.
