I recently added the new Asus C201 Chromebook to my arsenal. It is an 11.6" Chromebook with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage that is available for as little as $160\. It uses the new Rockchip 3288-C ARM A17 quad-core SoC (system on a chip).
Key Features:
1. Price: At $160, it is a no brainer. It is almost disposable. You can't even buy a decent tablet for that price these days.
2. Between 10 and 13 Hours of Battery Life: That is an amazing amount of battery life!
3. Nice Sharp Screen: It is reflective, so it looks sharper. And viewing angles aren't bad.
4. Weight: At only 2.2 lbs, it is light enough to carry everywhere.
5. Ports: It has 2 USB 2.0 ports, a micro HDMI, micro SD card slot and headphone jack.
6. Slim profile: It is not only small, it is nice and sleek as well.
7. Camera: It has1.3 MP webcam.
8. Graphics: It uses Mali-T764 integrated graphics.
9. Audio: It has speakers and a microphone
10. Scores: Octane = 6861 Sunspider = 617.8 ms
I have been using this as my road notebook for the past few weeks. Performance has been great and it seems to be a pretty solid. I am very pleased with it!
