Acer Chromebook Tab 10
$329.99
The Good
All-day battery life • Durable design
The Bad
Processor is slow for most tasks • Chrome OS is clunky without a physical keyboard

As spotted by the online software development community XDA Developers, it appears the software team behind Chrome OS has been working on “Campfire,” a feature that would enable dual-booting with Windows 10. Google has not spoken about this in any official way, but on a open Chrome OS forum run by Google, sometimes future tools are worked on in the public eye.
Campfire wouldn’t just support higher-end Chrome OS devices like the Pixelbook but also Chromebooks from Acer, HP, and Lenovo. While these code snippets don’t outline all the specifications, it would be a safe bet that only Intel-based Chromebooks (like the Pixelbook) could handle the dual-booting. Read more…
