It's time for Saigannack's annual "Unboxing Ceremony"! This time, we'll be unboxing the Acer Chromebook 11, a Chromebook from Acer that many of you may have been wanting to get your hands on!
The Chromebook is a new type of computer designed for speed and ease of use, and its operating system, Chrome OS, includes useful Google apps, security features, and easy centralized management, among other features not found on traditional PCs. Chrome OS, the Chromebook's operating system, includes useful Google apps, security features, and easy centralized management.
A look at the box
Saiga NAKThe Chromebook we received was a simple cardboard box with a logo printed on it, rather than a cosmetic box. This is the kind of package that is common for low-priced products. Personally, I prefer this kind of package because it allows me to dispose of the product in a simple manner.
What is included in the package?
Saiga NAKThe bundled items are the minimum necessary, such as a setup guide and AC adapter. The impression of the main unit is also plain white, giving the impression of elegance despite the low price.
US keyboard
Saiga NAKThe one purchased this time is a US keyboard version of a parallel import. The Enter key and the Shit key have a slightly special shape, and are arranged evenly on the top and bottom. The right end of the keyboard looks a little cramped, but when I tried typing on it, I felt no particular discomfort, and the keyboard gave me a stable typing feel.
In Japan, the world-standard US keyboard, which is in overwhelming demand, is not readily available, and there are many cases where only Japanese keyboards are available.
Free Google Drive storage
Saiga NAKWhen you purchase a Chromeboook, you will get 100GB of Google Drive storage. It also has an HDMI port for display on a projector or another screen.
Parallel imports have a grounded power supply.
Saiga NAKIn this case, the power supply was a grounded one, as it was purchased as a parallel import. If you are looking for a product that supports US keyboard, you will need to purchase a conversion adapter or a grounded tap separately at a consumer electronics store or the like.
Startup is super fast
Saiga NAKWhen you finally press the power button to start the device, the Chrome mark appears and you are immediately taken to the setup screen. It takes less than a second to boot up. It really takes a moment. Of course, after finishing the setup, you can use it right away just by logging in.
Setup is also almost all about logging in with a Google account!
Saiga NAKThe initial setup is also as simple as language, input type, and network connection. Once setup is complete, you can use it right away. By the way, the LCD is anti-glare and does not cause eye fatigue, so browsing for a long time is not painful.
Miscellaneous impressions
The Chromebook can be started up and used immediately when needed, so it can be used anywhere as a workspace in an instant. I was also surprised at how light it was to carry around. The actual weight is about 1.1 kg, so even if you carry it in your backpack or shoulder bag all the time, it will not be a burden at all. It seems to be a good partner. Incidentally, Acer also just announced the Aspire One Cloudbook, a netbook with Windows 10 on August 4!
