The Chromebook family grows again with Acer's new C7

There appears to be no end in sight to the Chromebook phenomenon, which has seen PC maker after PC maker jump onto Google's Chrome OS-powered bandwagon.

Samsung, Acer, Lenovo, and HP have all joined the fray, and this week Acer expanded its own offerings with yet another entry.

Following up on the $199 Acer C7 that was introduced in November, the company on Tuesday unveiled another device in the same C7 line that targets education users with a beefier model priced at $280.

"Chromebooks are an ideal option for schools and districts that want to quickly implement a technology program that will significantly enhance student learning," said Gregg Prendergast, vice president of U.S. commercial sales for Acer America. "The Acer C7 Chromebook is even more affordable when schools consider the reduced total cost of ownership thanks to its manageability and security features."
