The Official Google Blog informs us today that the Acer Chromebook manufactured by C7 is now available at a price of € 249. This model, which was so far distributed in the United States and Great Britain, is currently sold exclusively through the online store Pixmania. Shipping costs are free of charge and payment facilities are available.
As a reminder, Chromebooks are laptops that run Chrome OS, which highlight the ease of use and speed. In the case of Acer C7, the objective is achieved by a fast boot time of 18sec and Instant from standby. As for simplicity, it is found in the OS developed by Google that does not require more setup than a smartphone Android (Google Account and key Wi-Fi). Moreover, this OS does not need antivirus or patch installations or updates since it automatically.
Another important point of the Chromebook is that they operate on the principle of the permanent synchronization of all content in the cloud. In this way we can access its data wherever one is or any Chromebook simply by identifying themselves. As for the software to use, it will simply Google services or applications and games available on the Chrome Web Store, but for some it is already enough for their use.

The availability of this Chromebook is excellent news, it must be noted, however, that two other models more sophisticated and Samsung brand (Samsung Chromebook and Samsung Chromebook 550) are available in the United States and Great Britain. It is not yet known if they are planned.
