Chrome OS computers, called Chromebooks, continue to gain the favor and acceptance that Google would like, but not for that reason the company ceases to function in this operating system. Recently, we knew, for example, that you were preparing a feature to restore a Chromebook from an Android phone and that you would be partnering with Valve to take Steam on Chromebooks.
At the same time, various manufacturers continue to update and expand their catalog of computers with Chrome OS. The previous CES has abandoned the proposals for Samsung, ASUS and Lenovo, and now it's Acer who just announced the Acer Chromebook 712

Targeted in the education sector (as is often the case with these devices), the Chromebook 712 includes child safety certificates (ASTM F963-16 and UL / IEC 60950-1) and various features that are intended to increase their durability and durability. On the other hand, passed the MIL-STD-810G standard military tests, and on the other hand, it has an unbreakable keyboard to disassemble, machine-tied buttons and a sturdy 180 socket so that it doesn't break when lifting the computer off the screen.
The 12-inch IPS screen has a resolution of 1366 x 912 pixels, has a 3: 2 aspect ratio (which, according to Acer, improved the product because it screens to see the content) and is available in type (C871T) or non touch (C871 ). And it has Two USB-C 3.1 ports for data transfer and charging, and two USB-A full-size ports.
The setup is available with Pentium and Celeron chips, as well as with Intel's generation processor (up to Core i3). There are also two storage modes (32 and 64 GB), two RAM (4 and 8 GB) and a battery it promises to reach 12 hours of independence
