Acer unveiled three new Chromebooks designed for consumers needing a secure, easy-to-use, and affordable device for productivity, entertainment, and communication. These new Chromebooks come in three sizes and form factors and are furnished with everything consumers need, plus exceptional 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.
“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.”
Acer Chromebook Spin 513
With a sleek design and a durable aluminum chassis, the new Acer Chromebook Spin 513 is the ideal Chromebook to take on the go for school, passion projects, work, and more.
Powered by the new super-fast MediaTek Kompanio 1380 processor with eight cores for enhanced multitasking, it lets users stay productive all day with exceptional performance and up to 10 hours of battery life.
A productivity-boosting VertiView 13.5-inch display with a 3:2 aspect ratio gives users 18% more vertical screen space so they can see more content before needing to scroll. Furthermore, the display’s 2256×1504 resolution panel and 7.7 mm (0.3 in) narrow side bezels serve to highlight these visuals.
It can transform between four different usage modes, such as tent mode for making the most of space-constrained spaces like trains or airplanes and tablet mode for use on the go, and features military-grade MIL-STD 810H durability.
The Spin 513’s convertible design makes it a great choice for people who take their device with them when they travel. When out and about, Wi-Fi 6 helps maintain reliable connections to networks and hot spots. In addition, the Chromebook has a backlit keyboard for low-light areas and a USB Type-C port for connecting to peripherals, transferring data, and charging mobile devices.
DTS® Audio and a pair of upward-facing speakers deliver high-quality and distortion-free sound, whether it’s on a conference call for work or school, or while enjoying online entertainment. A pair of upward-facing microphones complete the package.
Acer Chromebook 315
Acer builds on its position as the industry leader in large-screen Chromebooks with the Chromebook 315, bringing an affordable option to users seeking multitasking.
Its huge FHD IPS 15.6-inch display is anti-glare, so it can be enjoyed on the balcony or garden as well as throughout the home and office. Plus, an optional touch-screen display allows for easy navigation, while the large keyboard has room for a dedicated numeric keypad.
Complementing the display’s extra real estate, the Acer Chromebook 315 includes technology for clear and reliable video conferences. It has a wide field-of-view HDR webcam with flare-reducing technology and a pair of integrated microphones. DTS Audio delivers rich sound with deeper bass, ideal for video calls as well as enjoying games or streamed content.
On top of 10 hours of battery life, it also has two USB Gen 2 Type-C ports, one on each side, and the ability to easily transfer videos and photos thanks to a MicroSD card reader.
The Acer Chromebook 315 features a unique eco-friendly OceanGlass touchpad which is made entirely out of the ocean-bound plastic waste that has been recycled into a glass-like texture.
Acer Chromebook 314
Designed for students, the Chromebook 314 is powered by the latest Intel processors for solid everyday performance and features MIL-STD 810H durability, 10 hours of battery life, and connectivity speeds up to 3x faster than Wi-Fi 5 with Intel Wi-Fi 6.
The 14-inch FHD IPS touchscreen display features an anti-glare coating so it can be used even in brighter lighting conditions. Users can navigate Chrome OS via the optional multi-touch display, or by using the OceanGlass touchpad that delivers a sleek touch experience and contributes to the reduction of ocean-bound plastic waste.
