Acer's new chromebook built to take a long ride

                       This 11-inch laptop has been tested to, and meets, the U.S. MIL-STD 810G standard. It can survive drops of up to 4 feet; rounded corners; packs a spill-resistant keyboard with ruggedized, rubber keys; and can withstand a staggering 132 pounds of force on the top of the laptop. So, if you accidentally stand on this bad boy, chances are that it’ll survive unscathed.
                         This comes at a price though. Firstly, it’s damn heavy, weighing a staggering 2.98 pounds, or roughly the same as a 13-inch MacBook Air. That doesn’t sound like a lot, but remember, this is an 11-inch laptop. It also comes with a reasonably large pricetag, costing $229. While still affordable, it’s important to note that you’re paying for the ruggedness, and not performance. As a result, it packs some pretty uninspiring specs.
·         Intel Celeron N3060 CPU (1.6 to 2.4GHZ TurboBoost)
·         11.6-inch screen (1366×769)
·         16 to 32GB of storage
·         Up to 4GB RAM
·         4090mAh battery
·         720p webcam
·         802.11ac Wi-Fi
·         Bluetooth 4.0

Ports wise, it’s pretty standard fare. There’s two USB 3.0 ports, as well as the usual Kensington lock, headphone jack, and so on.
The Acer Chromebook 11 N7 will cost $229 in the US, and €299 everywhere else. It’ll undoubtedly do well in the education market, as well as with clutzes tired of replacing their machine every few months. But everyone else would do well looking elsewhere.
