Acer has unveiled the first Chromebook with a 15.6-inch display, delivering the ideal balance between a large screen size, Chrome performance and portable design.

It is the company’s first Chromebook that uses fifth generation Intel Core i3 and Intel Celeron processors based on the Intel Broadwell micro-architecture.

The new Acer Chromebook 15 was on display at Pepcom’s Digital Experience! Event which recently concluded at the The Mirage in Las Vegas.

John Miedema, director product market, Acer Europe, said: “The Acer Chromebook 15 is a true powerhouse – it provides fast mobile performance and a large display to help customers accomplish more every day.

“Acer has been a leader in the Chromebook market, from providing the latest in technology and trailblazing battery life to designing new form factors. We’re driving the category forward again with the world’s first 15.6-inch display Chromebook, the Acer Chromebook 15.”

The crisp and vibrant display of the new device comes in two options – full HD display with wide viewing angles that ensures sharp and legible text as well as vivid, clear videos and photos and reveals more, which the second option is an HD 1366x768 resolution display that is ideal for budget-minded customers.

The two display options are Acer ComfyView displays, so they all have anti-glare properties to minimise the amount of reflecting light for less eye strain.

The new Chromebook will keep customers in touch with up to three times faster wireless connectivity via fast MIMO 2x2Wifi 802.11ac.

Meanwhile, customers will be able to connect other peripherals to it via Bluetooth 4.0, the USB 3.0 port, USB 2.0 port and HDMI port. The SD card reader enables a way to access and transfer files, said the statement.

Acer is also expanding its highly-acclaimed Chromebook 13 line with new touchscreen models, it added. - TradeArabia News Service
