Asus Chromebook New Models: C204, C403 & Flip C214

Asus has revealed a new range of “education-ready” Chromebooks and a Chrome OS tablet. The C204 and C403 will be traditional clamshell laptops, coming in 11.6-inch and 14-inch sizes respectively, while the C214 will be a 14-inch convertible.

The new series features durability, spill- and tamper-resistant keyboards and all-around rubber bumpers to withstand bashes and bumps Asus believes the kids of today will inflict on the devices.

The Chromebook C204

  • 11.6-inch display
  • 4GB RAM
  • 32GB Onboard storage

Coming with a dark grey finish rather than the bright and breezy white and blue of the predecessor, it will feature a thinner design (292 x 199 x 195mm, 1.2kg), but be able to withstand a drop of 1.2m when flat or 80cm when dropped on its sides.

The Chromebook C403

  • 14-inch HD non-touch display
  • 11 hour battery life

The C403 features the same design as the C204 but features a much larger 14-inch HD non-touch enabled display instead.  It too will be powered by an Intel Celeron processor, come with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of onboard storage.

 

The Chromebook Flip C214

  • Can be used either as a laptop or tablet
  • 11.6-inch touch or non-touch display options

Offering you option of laptop or tablet, the C214 will come with virtually identical specs to C204 but with the option of flipping the screen around to treat it as a tablet when you need. That includes the Intel Celeron processor, 4GB of RAM and 32GB onboard storage.

2016 Acer Chromebook 11

2016 Acer Chromebook 11

2016 Acer Chromebook 11 with IPS display is now available for $180.

Acer’s new Chromebook 11 looks a lot like last year’s model. It’s still a Chrome OS laptop with an 11.6 inch, 1366 x 768 pixel display and an Intel Celeron N2840 processor.

But the new model has an IPS display with better viewing angles and a new case design that Acer says makes the laptop sturdier and more appropriate for commercial or educational customers.  The Acer Chromebook 11 CB3-111 is now available for purchase for only $180.00, with 2GB of RAM, but Acer plans to offer models with up to 4GB of memory and up to 32GB of storage.

The laptop measures 0.7 inches thick and weighs 2.4 pounds, and Acer says it’s sturdy enough to survive a 2-foot fall without any damage or 132 pounds of pressure on the lid.

The new Acer Chromebook has a 3220 mAh battery for up to 9 hours of run time, supports 802.11ac WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0 and features a USB 3.0 port, a USB 2.0 port, and an HDMI port as well as an SD card reader.
