Acer has announced three new Chromebooks for users looking for a safe, easy-to-use, and affordable computer for productivity, entertainment, and communication. These new Chromebooks are available in three sizes and form factors, and come with everything users require, as well as superior audio and video technology for entertainment and video conferencing.
“This new trio of Acer Chromebooks offers the best of several worlds; they deliver solid performance capabilities, have great extra features, and give users the latest technology while staying within budget,” said James Lin, General Manager, Notebooks, IT Products Business, Acer Inc.
He added, “Today’s users need a reliable, easy-to-use means to stay productive, connected and entertained when they’re at home—these three new Acer Chromebooks fit that bill.”
The new Acer Chromebook Spin 513 (CP513-2H) is the ideal Chromebook to carry on-the-go for school, passion projects, business, and more, thanks to its stylish design and robust aluminium chassis. It is powered by the latest MediaTek Kompanio 1380 CPU, which has eight cores for better multitasking and allows users to stay busy all day with outstanding performance and up to 10 hours of battery life. A VertiView 13.5-inch display with a 3:2 aspect ratio increases vertical screen space by 18%, allowing users to see more content without having to scroll. In addition, the stunning display’s 2256×1504 resolution panel and 7.7mm (0.3 in) tiny side bezels serve to emphasise these graphics.
The convertible nature of the new Acer Chromebook Spin 513 makes it a perfect choice for folks who travel with their device. It includes military-grade MIL-STD 810H durability and can morph between four different usage modes, including tent mode for making the most of space-constrained situations like trains or planes, and tablet mode for use on-the-go. When you’re on the go, Wi-Fi 6 keeps you connected to networks and hot spots. The Chromebook also includes a backlit keyboard for use in low-light environments, as well as a USB Type-C connection for connecting to peripherals, transmitting data, and charging mobile devices.
Whether on a conference call for work or school, or while enjoying online entertainment, DTS® Audio and a pair of upward-facing speakers produce high-quality, distortion-free sound. The set is completed by a pair of upward-facing microphones, offering consumers everything they need for crystal-clear calls.
With the Acer Chromebook 315(CB315-4H/T), Acer continues on its position as the market leader in large-screen Chromebooks, giving an inexpensive solution to those seeking a device for seamless and effortless multitasking. This portable device keeps users connected, interested, and entertained while they’re at home or even outside. The anti-glare FHD IPS 15.6-inch display on the Acer Chromebook 315 can be used on the balcony or in the garden, as well as in the home and office. Plus, an optional touch-screen display makes navigation a breeze, and the wide keyboard includes a dedicated numeric keypad, which comes in handy when working on household finances or schooling.
The Acer Chromebook 315 includes technology for clear and reliable video conferences, which complements the extra real estate on the display. A wide field-of-view HDR webcam with flare-reducing technology and a pair of embedded microphones will allow hybrid employees and students to be seen and heard. While the latest Intel® processors and Wi-Fi 6 give consistent performance and connectivity, DTS Audio delivers rich sound with deeper bass, suitable for video conversations as well as enjoying games or streamed content. Users will like the two USB Gen 2 Type-C connections, one on each side, and the ability to conveniently transfer videos and photographs owing to a MicroSD card reader, in addition to the 10 hours of battery life.
The OceanGlassTM touchpad on the Acer Chromebook 315 is built completely of ocean-bound plastic trash that has been recycled into a glass-like texture, giving it a sleek and sensitive tactile input while also helping to the reduction of plastics adrift in the ocean.
The Acer Chromebook 314 (CB314-3H/T) is designed for students and families with school-aged children and is powered by the latest Intel® processors for solid everyday performance and MIL-STD 810H durability. Users can expect up to 10-hours of battery life, which is more than enough to get pupils through the school day, and Intel®Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) provides connectivity speeds that are up to three times quicker than Wi-Fi 5.
The 14-inch FHD IPS touchscreen display of the Acer Chromebook has an anti-glare coating, allowing it to be utilised in brighter lighting settings, and the Chromebook’s short 8.1mm (0.32 in) side bezels help to maintain the attention on the graphics while also contributing to the Chromebook’s compact dimensions. Users can browse Chrome OS using either the optional multi-touch display or the OceanGlassTM touchpad, which provides a sleek touch experience while also helping to reduce ocean-bound plastic waste.
With two built-in microphones and a flare-reducing webcam with temporal noise reduction (TNR) technology for better video quality in low-light circumstances, the Acer Chromebook 314 gives an outstanding remote-learning experience. DTS Audio produces sound that is rich, high-quality, and distortion-free. A pair of USB Type-C connectors round out the package, allowing users to connect to a wide range of devices with ease.
Fast boot times, ease of use, security, and longer battery life are all features of the new Acer Chromebooks, which run on Chrome OS. Users will have access to all of the apps they need for productivity, school, creativity, and more because they support web-based apps and apps on Google Play.
