Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the Acer Laptop Battery
Google brought up two of the most affordable and gorgeous Chromebooks last month – Samsung Chromebook and Acer C7 Chromebook.
Both of the Chromebooks has released last month officially by Google and boasts almost same features like have 2 GB RAM, dual core ARM CPU and an 11.6 inch display but when peeped under the hood, I found many significant differences and felt like sharing with our readers. Continue reading to know more about the points where these two gorgeous Chromebooks differ from each other.
Acer A7 Chromebook with battery such as Acer UM08A31 battery, Acer UM08A71 battery, Acer UM08A72 battery, Acer UM08B71 battery, Acer Aspire One battery, Acer SQU-410 battery, Acer TravelMate 2100 battery, Acer 1556 battery, Acer BTP-89BM battery, Acer TravelMate 4600 battery, Acer AS07B72 Battery, Acer Aspire 5520 Battery and Samsung Chromebook have almost similar looks with an 11.6 inch big screen. Acer Chromebook has a lid in iron gray color and bottom shell is designed in a black plastic material where as the entire exterior of Samsung Chromebook is made with matte gray plastic. Both the Chromebooks have a Chrome logo sticker on the top left corner of the lid. Samsung Chromebook is 0.8mm thick and Acer A7 is 0.7 mm thick. Acer Chromebook is actually made with cheap plastic which makes it look a cheap laptop.
Keyboard
The quality of keypad of Samsung Chromebook is far better when compared with that of Acer Chromebook. Acer lacks the power button on the keyboard and also the keys seem to be a bit cluttered. It also lacks the Alt key on the right. However Samsung also has a small room to accommodate the entire keys but still the smooth and polished finish wholly brings a decent keyboard.
The trackpad of Acer and Samsung are almost similar with two finger scrolling and single finger tracking. Both the trackpads asks for a little extra pressure to make the taps register.
Sound and Display
One of the major differences between two budget Chromebooks is their LED backlit screens, Samsung has a matte one where as Acer has a glossy one. The screens of both the Chromebooks are not that bright and you need to adjust the screen a bit to get a clear picture.
None of the Chromebooks have good enough speakers but if we compare, Samsung has a bit higher volume than Acer. The sound gets distorted in high volume in both of these budget Chromebooks.
Performance
Samsung Chromebook features 1.7 GHz Exynos 5 Dual (5250) SoC and Acer A7 Chromebook is powered by Intel‘s 1.1GHz Celeron 847 processor. Both of them sport a 2 GB RAM and a dual core CPU. If compared in terms of speed, Acer C7 is nominally faster as compared to the Samsung Chromebook.
Battery Life
Samsung’s Chromebook has a battery backup of 6 hours 33 minutes whereas Acer A7 Chromebook gives the backup of only 3 hours 16 minutes. The battery in Acer is smaller and incorporates less efficient components as compared to Samsung Chromebook.
Price
Samsung Chromebook Wi-Fi only model costs $249 and 3G model costs $329.99 only whereas Acer A7 Chromebook Wi-Fi model costs $199 and 3G model costs $449 only.
The Verdict
These differences prove that Samsung Chromebook offers more value and performance. So, I believe that Samsung Chromebook deserves an extra $50.
