Acer AC700-1090 Chromebook (3G)

Amazon Price: (as of 05/26/2012)

Unlike your standard desktop or laptop, a Chromebook is built specifically for browsing the internet.
There are no extra programs to slow down your Chromebook or to hog resources.

When you want to hit the net, you turn on your Chromebook and within 8 seconds or so your ready to go - really it is only about 8 - 10 seconds from hitting the on button until you are at the Chrome browser window connected to the internet.

Chromebooks can connect through wi-fi or as in the case of this model you can also connect through 3G. The 3G is by Verizon and you do receive 100MB a month for 2 years for free but more-than-likely you will be wanting more and there are several plans to choose from.

When looking at the specs of a Chromebook remember that all resources are channeled to the internet so while you may see that there is only 2 GIG of memory this is 2 GB's for the internet and not to help run a program that is sitting in the background.

The storage or most Chromebooks is about 16 GB's but since you store all of your data through the Cloud your storage is actually unlimited.

With the Chrome OS you can reach all of your files through a friends Chromebook (just log in as a guest) while you both keep your data secure from one another. However, if you want to share files, photos or videos it's super simple with Chrome.

This ACER Chromebook as expected has a webcam, integrated speakers, usb ports, HDMI port, a full size keyboard that has been created and keyed to the internet with hot keys & shortcuts, a large touchpad and a battery life of 8 plus hours.

Add to that the dual core processor and you have a device that you will want to take with you everywhere you go.
