Today, Intel and Google had their own Chrome event today, where they announced all kinds of goodies. Like Bay Trail processors for their upcoming Chromebooks from all kinds of OEMs. ASUS new C200 Chromebook is powered by Bay Trail and features an 11.6-inch 1366x768 display, along with 2GB of RAM. It also has 16GB of SSD storage. For those interested, the exact processor being used is the Intel Celeron N2830. It also has Bluetooth 4.0, a USB 3.0 port, a USB 2.0 port, HDMI jack, audio jack, and SDXC card slot. Additionally it should last about 11 hours or longer on a single charge, which is an improvement on the Haswell chips we saw last year in a number of Chromebooks.
