Chromebooks are pop among family and schools because they ’re … well , cheap . Now , Acer ’s line of Chromebooks adds another feature that will appeal to anyone handing a reckoner to a child : strength .
Two raw laptops , the 15.6 - inch C910 ( above ) and 11.6 - in C740 ( below ) , have shell plan to withstand 132 pounds of force . Their recession are peculiarly design to withstand any fall from 18 inch , and there are reinforced hinges so no matter how firmly they get tugged , pushed and pulled , they should keep working . In fact , the humble laptop computer has special extended flexible joint to protect the joints in high - stress situations .
As for eyeglasses , you ’re looking at Intel Broadwell - base Celeron or Core i3 processors and either 2 gigabyte or 4 GB of RAM in both . The base - model C740 features a 1,366 x 768 presentation , 16 GB SSD and a 9 - time of day assault and battery for $ 260 . The gaudy C910 stretches the same display out across 15.6 inch and offers 8 hours of battery animation for $ 280 — but you’re able to dislodge specification up to include a 1080p displays and 32 GB of storage if you want .
The laptop computer will be available from February . [ Acer ]
