Acer Announces Refreshed Chromebook 11 (2018) at CES 2018

Jan. 8, 2018



Acer’s major focus this time has been connectivity, and it is quite evident by the number of ports available on this device.The Chromebook comes with two USB-C ports, two USB-A 3.0 ports for extra attachments, and even a microSD card slot for expandable storage.

Unlike thePixelbook,the Acer Chromebook 11 lacks the support for Google Assistant, which might be something that Google hasn’t made available to other manufacturers just yet. That being said, full Android app support, another feature that debuted with the Pixelbook, is now available on the Chromebook 11. Perhaps Google Assistant also might make its way to other Chromebooks, including Acer’s.

As for the performance, the Acer Chromebook 11 comes with a Celeron CPU coupled with 4 gigs of RAM. While the specs are decent enough for a budget Chromebook, graphics-intensive applications such as Asphalt 8 may not be well supported on this machine. Some first-hand analysis, as conducted byAndroid Police, does reportslow down when several tabs are open simultaneously.

This isn’t an interview! Why am I being asked to tell you about myself? :P Well, if you really wanna know, I’m currently trending worldwide on #BeingMirchi. Buy me a beer if you like my work. Cheers!
