Google unveils Acer Chromebook, nearly identical with Samsung Series-5, but cheaper

Samsung’s ChromeBook is a 12-inch netbook, but Acer’s ChromeBook will be slightly smaller at 11.6-inch, though that doesn’t make any difference does it. Anyway, Google has also revealed the ‘other’ ChromeBook, which is from Acer obviously. There’s no specific name for this, yet. It packs the same specs as Samsung’s Series 5 ChromeBook. There’s the identical Intel Atom N570, which is a dual-core processor at 1.66GHz. There’s also the same 16GB SSD, with instant-on feature, two USB ports, 1.3-Megapixel webcam (unconfirmed), HDMI, and 6.5 hours of battery life (Samsung’s is said to be 8.5 hours by the way). . It’s cheaper than the Samsung Series 5 also announced, starting at $349 with optional world-mode 3G available for more cash and will be available for preorder on the same day — June 15th from Amazon and Best Buy.
