ASUS is planning to launch a new Chromebook equipped with a 11.6 inch display
in the form of the ASUS Chromebook C223. Offering users a resolution of 1366 x
768 pixels and powered by an Intel Celeron N3350 dual-core “Apollo Lake”
processor supported by 4GB of RAM, and 32GB of storage.
The information has been revealed by the WinFuture
end reveals that the new system will be equipped with 2 x USB Type-C ports, one
x USB Type A port, microSD slot and a headphone and microphone connection. The
ASUS Chromebook C223 will be constructed completely of plastic to keep costs to
a minimum although the weight is expected to be in the region of 2.7lbs. The
new ASUS Chromebook C223 is expected to be a replacement, follow-up to the
Chromebook Flip C213 launch last year, but does not include the 360 degree
hinge offered by last year’s system.
Unfortunately, no information on pricing or
worldwide availability has been released or leaked as yet, but as soon as
information comes to light from ASUS or sources close to the action, we will
keep you updated as always. Although WinFuture reports that the Asus Chromebook
C223 could be priced at about € 320 or roughly US$ 370 although this seems quite
high for an all plastic design.
