Acer Chromebook (Wi-Fi) - Something I Want to Try

The Acer Chromebook (Wi-Fi) is Something I Want to Try after reading the news release a few weeks ago. For only $349 you can have a fully functioning laptop with Wi-Fi capability. There are a few other models being put out by Samsung but the Acer has the best price point and is also the smallest model.

Some features:

- 11.6" HD Screen

- 2GB Memory

- HD Webcam

- Built in speakers

- 6 hour battery life

- Chrome web browser

The Chromebooks are designed to be 100% cloud based, so if your professional life can handle that migration, the Acer Chromebook is a great deal. We're in the process of migrating my entire district to cloud based computing and the Acer Chromebook at $349 is a GREAT price point for a 1:1 environment in the upper grades. I'm close to ordering my own Chromebook as a test case for my school and will blog any updates that come my way.
