Small but packs a punch. That is what you get with the 11.6″ Acer Chomebook CB3. Its small enough to slip into any size bag – yet powerful enough to get the job done, business or pleasure. The computer uses 802.11ac wireless – so it connects to most any wireless network at work, home or school. Leveraging Intel HD graphics and a HD webcam – the 3 cell Li-Ion will garner you 9 hours of battery life.
The amazing balance of size and power is unreal. This little Chromebook packs a punch!
This is a 3rd generation Acer Chromebook – so it is thin. A nice white color – its a very modern looking machines. People will not notice this is a chromebook – most will think you are using an MacBook. This and all chromebooks are not windows computers or Apple. The operating system is Chrome. Its more like the software found on phones than laptops. This makes the work very well.
