14 DAY TRIAL // It appears that a certain product which some users had expected to be here by now will allow itself to be waited upon for a little while longer, provided a certain online listing of it holds accurate information.
There are some things that stand out even in market segments as old as that of mobile personal computers.
Chromebooks, laptops running Google Chrome, are one of them, not just because of the OS (and how the content can be instantly accessed from another Chromebook should one be lost unavailable for whatever other reason), but also due to their less than ordinary hardware components.
Of course, given the fact that most files are saved in the cloud when operating such a machine, it makes sense that the amount of storage space wouldn't be too high.
That said, Acer is one of the companies that have been talking about having a Chromebook, but availability has yet to actually be reached.
The already delayed AC700 Chromebook was supposed to show up earlier this month (June 2011), but it has yet to start shipping.
This already puts it behind Samsung, whose own machines, or one of them, are already up for order on Amazon.
Turns out that users hoping to acquire the AC700 will have to wait until the middle of July for their shot at the laptop, until which time they can gather the needed $350.
Those that want a reminder as to the specifications will be interested in knowing that the Atom N570 is backed by 2 GB of RAM and the GMA 3150 integrated graphics. Also, the display is an 11.6-inch LED-backlit HD panel (1,366 x 768 pixels resolution).
Other specs include a full-size keyboard, a 16 GB SSD, HDMI, a 1.3 megapixel webcam, 802.11 b/g/n WiFi and a battery that can last for up to 6 hours.
