Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the Dell Ac Adapter
The C7 Chromebook is also outfitted with a 320GB, 5,400 rpm spinning hard drive, offering far more capacity than the 16GB flash memory of either the Samsung Series 3 or the Samsung Series 5 Chromebook 550 (XE550C22-H01)%displayPrice% at %seller%. As a result, this is the Chromebook to choose if you want to save a lot of data locally. It's also something of an anomaly, since file storage is expected to be in the cloud, primarily using Google Drive. To encourage this transition, new Chromebook owners are offered a free 100GB upgrade to their Google Drive capacity, good for two years. Acer covers the Chromebook with a one-year warranty.
Instead of the Atom processor used in the Samsung Series 3, the C7 Chromebook is equipped with an 1.1GHz Intel Celeron 847 processor, a dual-core CPU similar to the one found in the Samsung Series 5 Chromebook 550. The Celeron CPU is paired with 2GB of RAM, but unlike the other Chromebooks on the market, this can be expanded, bumping up to 4GB total.
The processor may not be particularly impressive, but it does provide enough oomph for Chrome OS to run smoothly. In fact, according to BrowserMark test results, the Acer C7 is slightly faster than the Samsung Series 3, and both outpace Microsoft's ARM-based Surface RT tablet. It is, however, slower to boot, taking 21 seconds from cold start to password prompt—the Samsung Series 3 booted up in 8 seconds, largely thanks to its small but zippy flash memory.
The biggest disappointment of the C7 Chromebook is battery such as Dell Inspiron C540 Ac Adapter, Dell Inspiron C640 Ac Adapter, Dell Inspiron C800 Ac Adapter, Dell Inspiron C810 Ac Adapter, Dell Inspiron C840 Ac Adapter, Dell Latitude 100L Ac Adapter, Dell Latitude 110L Ac Adapter, Dell Latitude 120L Ac Adapter, Dell Latitude D400 Ac Adapter, Dell Latitude D610 Ac Adapter, Dell Latitude D600 Ac Adapter, Dell Latitude D505 Ac Adapter life. When tested with an hours-long YouTube video, streamed over Wi-Fi and running fullscreen—the same test used on the Series 3—the C7 Chromebook lasted just 3 hours 2 minutes. By comparison, the Samsung Series 3 lasted 5:25. Unlike the Samsung Series 3, however, the C7 Chromebook has a swappable 6-cell 56Wh battery, so you could pack along an extra battery ($82 street) or two to carry you through the day.
The Acer C7 Chromebook (C710-2847) is the most affordable of the three Chromebooks currently on the market, and the first to hit the $200 price point that Google has been aiming for since the concept was announced in 2011. In terms of cheap, reliable, and functional Internet access, the Acer C7 Chromebook is serviceable, with the largest hard drive of the bunch. Whether or not it has a better feature set than the Samsung Series 3 Chromebook depends upon what features you want, picking up VGA and Ethernet connectivity, but dropping the USB 3.0, Bluetooth, and optional 3G offered by the Samsung Series 3. With a thick and heavy design and short battery life, the Acer C7 Chromebook isn't quite as slick as the Samsung Series 3, but the larger drive and cheaper price will grab plenty of attention, and entice a lot of people to buy.
