Acer is adding two new Chromebooks to its C720 lineup this month — both of which are powered by fourth-generation Intel Core i3 processors. Prices will start at $350 for 2GB of RAM, while $380 will get you double that.

However, unlike the latter, the Tab 7 is already on sale in China with a price tag of around $99 — that’s a whopping $50 cheaper than the A1 is expected to cost when it finally hits the shelf.
