Cloudbooks are the Windows 10 equivalent of a Chromebook

Acer isn’t wasting any time with rolling out its low-priced Windows 10 notebooks. On Tuesday, the Taiwan-based computer maker announced the new Aspire One Cloudbook series,and it’s aimed squarely at the Chromebook crowd. Acer is starting with 11- and 14-inch models dubbed the Cloudbook 11 and Cloudbook 14, with prices starting at $169 and $199 respectively. The 11 rolls out in the U.S. this month with the 14 to follow in September. A specific launch date was not announced. With prices as low as they are, it should come as no surprise that you get what you pay for with these clamshells—luxury road warrior toys these are not. Both laptops come with Intel Celeron processors, 2GB of RAM, and 1366-by-768 resolution. The 11 comes with either 16GB or 32GB storage, and the 14-inch comes in 32GB or 64GB configurations. When it comes to ports and connectivity, the Cloudbooks aren’t too shabby. There’s nothing as fancy as USB Type-C, but you do get HDMI, USB 3.0, USB 2.0, 802.11ac, and an SD expansion slot. To help boost your Cortana experience, the laptops come with dual digital microphones with “enhanced digital signal processing (DSP)” to better cancel background noise.
