Chrome OS has been a success in some parts and a failure in some parts, but Google is not relenting its efforts, atleast not yet. Earlier this year at the annual Consumer Electronic Show, Acer and HP introduced new Chromebook laptops but since then we’ve heard nothing. Today, Google is breaking the silence with the launch of its first Chromebook tablet, in partnership with Acer.
The Acer Chromebook Tab 10 is aimed at educational sector just like most Chromebook laptops out there, but this does not have a keyboard or a trackpad nor is it convertible—it is just a tablet. It has a 9.7-inch IPS multitouch screen that boasts of a QXGA (2048×1536) resolution, which users can directly write on, sketch or draw on using the accompanied Wacom EMR stylus with multi-level of pressure sensitivity. Students and teachers will particularly find this useful in their daily chore. The stylus has its own compartment for secure storage and does not requires charging.
