Acer Ups The C7 Chromebook’s RAM, Battery Life And, Sadly, Price

The Acer C7 Chromebook is now a bit more powerful. With the RAM doubled to 4GB, the latest flavor of Acer’s inexpensive but still tasty Chromebook should be able to handle a few more simultaneous tasks. Plus, the new model ships with a 6 cell battery able to last 6 hours rather than the 4 cell found in the original. Too bad Acer couldn’t manage these upgrades without inflating the price from a cute $ 199 to a slightly intimidating $ 279. Acer previously noted that the C7 was a huge hit with the education crowd, once accounting for 5-10% of all of its US shipments. The C7 is now …

Refreshed Acer C7 Chromebook gets more battery, more RAM for $279

Acer has just announced that its C7 Chromebook is getting a much-needed spec bump. The original $ 199 model featured a less-than-capacious battery that was capable of running Chrome OS for just 3.5 hours — not enough for an operating system that’s all about mobility and the cloud. The new C7 configuration is much more robust, thanks to two key upgrades. The 6-cell, 5000mAh battery boasts twice as much capacity as its predecessor and should provide around seven hours of cord-free computing. Acer’s also bestowed the new C7 with a generous helping of memory. 4GB of RAM is now standard instead of 2GB. Horsepower-wise, things haven’t changed. The new C7 still …
