Dell is joining the fast-growing internet-centered Chromebook race with a model of its own, Dell Chromebook 11 that will primarily target educational institutes.
Dell, one of the largest PC makers around the world, is keeping up with the trend by adding a new gadget to its enormous range of PCs. Leading PC makers including Acer, Asus and HP, have joined the fast-growing Chromebook market and have waged a "price-war" to attract more buyers. Dell will become the latest participant in the Chromebook ring with its Chromebook 11 (surprisingly takes the same name as HP's Chromebook)
Dell may be entering the competition late but the PC maker has no intention to rule the market, at least not yet. According to Dell, the initial supply of Chromebook 11 will be dedicated to educational institutes.
"The Chromebook 11 was built specifically to meet the needs of schools and districts around the country looking to deploy affordable and comprehensive one-to-one computing initiatives," Dell said, according to CNET.
Chromebooks have found a growing interest among people. Since our lives revolve around the internet, buying the thin and light Chromebooks is a sensible move. These laptops are built around Google's Chrome OS and Chrome-related applications that perform most tasks online. Acer has time-and-again broken the low-cost barrier with its affordable Chromebooks, starting as low as $300 for all-touch Chromebook and $199 for a normal one.These laptops run Intel's latest Haswell micro-architecture. HP offers the Chromebook 11, for $279.
Dell's future Chromebook models will be targeted at business buyers and other consumers.
