The new Acer Chromebook 511 (C737), Chromebook Spin 511 (R757T), and Chromebook Spin 512 (R857T) are all available with a choice of Intel N150 or Intel N250 processors, which are 6-watt, quad-core chips. The new laptops support up to 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, and Acer is offering entry-level configurations with clamshell laptop designs and HD displays as well as higher-priced configurations with a convertible tablet-style design, stylus support, and up to a 1920 x 1200 pixel display.

year is 2025 and instead of technology being available for everyone it is instead fast becoming only for the ones lucky enough to afford it

no gpu, 8gb ram, phone operating system, and 128gb storage for $500 get the fuck out with this

128 GB storage in particular sounds like a ripoff.

You can manage with 8 GB RAM if you're mostly using a web browser with some light applications.
