catching up on ces news

quote:

Apparently, the rugged Chromebook Acer built for schools back in 2015 just weren't durable enough. Today at CES the company just announced a new, more durable notebook. Now, schools can equip students with a Chromebook 11 N7 C731 that can bear up to 132 pounds of force, resist case and hinge damage while bouncing around in student backpacks and survive falls from as high as 48-inches -- more than twice the drop height of the old model.

Acer says it designed the new Chromebook 11 for compliance with US Military Standard MIL-STD 810G -- specifically the spec's requirements for enduring high and low temperatures, humidity, mechanical shocks, drops, vibration and the effects of rain, dust and sand. The notebook isn't waterproof, but its spill-resistant keyboard's gutter system claims to be able to drain up to 11 ounces of water away from the machine's vital components. Those keys are mildly student-proof too, and are designed to be difficult for more destructive students to remove.

Durability aside, the Chromebook 11 N7 seems to be a promising education machine. With 12 hours of promised battery life, the notebook has more than enough juice to get through a school day. The machine's 1,366 x 768 display comes in both touch and non-touch varieties, too. There's also plenty of connectivity options: two USB 3.0 ports, an HDMI socket and an SD card reader. The N7 will be available later this month starting at $230 with 4GB of RAM.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

You know, if they pass that Mega City One counter protest law I can finally let Illinois Nazis know how I feel about them

Everything I heard coming out of CES sounds like they really have run out of new ideas and everything is either a straight-forward improvement or a ridiculous gimmick.

It is a required component to self-delude herself into forgetting that Donald Trump ran away with the white woman vote.

Great article, thanks.

Sanders' rebuking "no we are not a compassionate country" at Price was the highlight of the hearings for me.
