Welcome to a Laptop AC Adapter specialist
of the Asus Ac Adapter
It goes for $299, and it’s already available in stores – so no need to wait for it to be released. It sports a slim and stylish design, with an 11-inch IPS display that stands at a resolution of 1366×768 – and it makes the Chromebook feel like a premium laptop.
The killer feature that I want to start this mini review with is that HP has built into its laptop a 4G LTE modem that frees it from the tight grip, and limitations, of WiFi coverage. It’s shocking that not all laptops come bundled with the 4G LTE modem with adapter like Asus Eee PC 1015PD AC Adapter, Asus B43 AC Adapter, Acer ADP-65JH DB AC Adapter, Acer ADP-60NH AC Adapter, Asus Eee PC 1016 AC Adapter, Asus A6 AC Adapter, Asus U5 AC Adapter, Asus ADP 65JH CB AC Adapter, Asus ADP-36EH AC Adapter, Asus A8 AC Adapter, Asus U5F AC Adapter, Asus Eee PC 1215 AC Adapter, and its more shocking that we don’t see a trend starting. A shame really.
Moving on, the Chromebook is built from a magnesium alloy frame clad enveloped in glossy white plastic. It doesn’t look tacky, or cheap, but when you put your hands on it you can feel the low quality builds – it’s not a deal breaker, but it’s something worth noting. You can also have it in blue, red, yellow and green, but to be honest, white is more good looking.
The keyboard is slightly smaller due to the laptop being small in size, but the keys aren’t cramped together, and you can easily type all day without stressing yourself. Because it uses Chrome OS, you’ll see Chrome specific keys function keys on the top of the keyboard – a dedicated search key where caps lock used to be, and of course no Windows key. The multitouch trackpad doesn’t excel in any way, and if you used a trackpad before, there’s nothing new to it – this doesn’t mean it’s faulty, or falls down in this department, it’s quite a nifty piece that keeps the laptop feeling premium.
It makes use of a great, and unique feature that involves the power charger – it uses a microUSB connector like the majority of smartphones and tablets. Besides the power charger port, it is also equipped with 2 USB 2.0 ports, a 2-in-1 microphone and headphone jack and that’s about it. No, unfortunately it doesn’t have a HDMI port, but the microUSB connector supports SlimPort and you can use an adapter to output HDMI.
Chromebooks usually don’t have much local storage – this one has only about 16GB – but it comes paired with 100GB of free space on Google Drive.
Performance wise it’s fitted with a 1.7GHz dual-core ARM Samsung Exynos 5250 processor, 2 GB of RAM.
