Carry your work as you travel with this Acer Chromebook laptop computer. It's powered by an Intel Celeron processor with 4GB of RAM so programs run smoothly, and it has 32GB of flash storage to hold plenty of files. This Acer Chromebook laptop computer has an 11.6-inch screen for clear, sharp graphic images.
This product was on sale for $219, $80 off. At that price, it was not much more than other Chromebooks, but had these advantages: - touch screen - full 360 degree rotation, so it can be like a tablet, or V shape - newer processor (there were pros and cons listed, but with 4 cores vs. 2 cores, as Chromebooks start running Android apps, more cores will be more important as users are running multiple threads). - Ready for Android app download, which I anticipate will become a huge deal for kids (they can get the same games on their Chromebooks as on their phones) - All the external reviews I read listed the R11 as one of the top 5 chromebooks to consider, and nothing else in this price range was listed anywhere.
There were some other promotions, but some of these Chromebooks only had 2GB of RAM or 16GB of storage. So for a little bit more, 4GB of memory and 32MB of storage was well worth it. Especially more RAM if you want it to last. NOTE: We also purchased the Samsung Chromebook and let the kids try it out. It was on sale for $160, $40 off. It has very similar specs, but no touch screen. Without any sales, probably the Samsung at $200 vs. The R11 at $300 would be the more economical choice, unless you have to have the touch screen or tablet mode.
