What customers say about "Connectivity"
Acer Chromebook R13 (NX.GL4EK.003) 13.3" HD Touchscreen Display
  • I think Acer did a great job, ports are plentiful, battery life is epic, and it charges very fast.
  • Ports available include USB-C and a USB 3.0 Type-A port. Good combination of latest technology with backward-compatibility.
  • Headphone jack is good and loud, and connection is easy and reliable.
  • I like the rich amount of ports and the build quality is very good!
  • If you have a weak signal, the machine grinds very slowly and there is little you can do about it.
ASUS C302CA-GU010 Full HD Touchscreen Chromebook
  • There is a USB - C port on each side for charging, or for peripherals which is very useful.
  • There is a micro sd card slot if you need to add some storage for media or photos and documents.
  • The USB type C charger is great, with both sides having an input.
  • I didn't think I'd miss the USB until I needed something off my external drive.
  • You have to use a USB adapter because the USB 3.1 Type-C ports are a different shape and size than the usual USB ports.
