Dell Announces Its Chromebook 11 Notebook
The 11-inch laptop will have a 1366x768 (1080p) display, a 720p HD webcam, and 4W internal stereo speakers, and ports include an SD card reader, HDMI, and two USB 3.0. The battery purports to last for around 10 hours, and 802.11a/b/g/n WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0 are on board as well.
The Dell Chromebook 11 weighs 2.9 pounds and is less than an inch thick. It’s expected to sell for less than $300, which will of course vary depending on the configuration. “Under $300” is of course usually PR speak for “$299.99”, but the 2GB RAM version will knock down the price a bit.
As part of its chromebook release, Dell is pushing the device as an educational tool to pair with its educational ecosystem as well as Dell Wyse PocketCloud. The Chromebook 11 will be available in January.
