You’re looking for a chromebook with pen input? During an education tradeshow Acer introduced theAcer Chromebook Spin 11which basically is the Chrome OS version of theTravelMate Spin B1that runs Windows 10. Like its sibling the Chromebook Spin 11 is a small notebook featuring a 360 degree rotating touchscreen that can be used with a stylus for inking. Convertibles like these with Chrome OS are very interesting since you’ll be able to run Android apps from the Google Play Store on them.

According to Acers press release the Chromebook Spin 11 R751T is perfect for students, it’s aimed at the education market. That’s why it features a robust housing with the MIL-STD 810G standard. You can use it like a normal notebook but can transform it into a tablet by rotating the screen. Once rotated you’ll be able to use a 5 megapixel camera that’s placed above the keyboard – so the camera works like the ones of normal tablets.

The stylus is said to be quite cheap and easy replaceable. It’s a pen with Wacoms EMR (Electro-Magnetic Resonance) technology which means you won’t have to charge nor pair it. On the back of the stylus is an eraser. Pen input including handwriting recognition is supported in Chrome OS now.
