Acer unveiled two new premium Chromebooks at the company’s next@acer press event held in New York. The new Acer Chromebook 715 and Acer Chromebook 714 feature military-grade durable aluminium chassis, fingerprint readers, and Citrix Ready Certification™.
James Lin, General Manager, Notebooks, IT Product Business, Acer Inc. said: "The addition of a premium durable chassis and integrated fingerprint reader onto the latest Acer Chromebooks enhances the security and reliability of these devices. Employees of all types -- whether in a corporate office, small business, or an educational setting -- need reliable, powerful PCs that help protect their data, perform well, and look great. These new Acer Chromebooks fit that bill."
The new Acer Chromebooks can be powered by a range of processors, including the 8th Gen Intel Core i5 and Core i3 processors as well as Intel® Celeron® and Intel®Pentium® Gold options. The models deliver battery life of up to 12 hours.
“The reinforced design delivers military-grade protection (U.S. MIL-STD 810G compliant[1]) so it can handle drops from up to 48 inches (122 cm) and can withstand up to 132 pounds (60 kg) of downward force,” Acer said.
“The anodized aluminium chassis stands up to daily wear and tear, resists dents and bending, and wards off dings, chips and corrosion to maintain the high-end look and feel.”
The company claims Acer Chromebook 715 is the first Chromebook on the market to include numeric keypad. Chromebook 715 has a 15.6-inch display with1920x1080 resolution. Chromebook 714 features 14-inch narrow-bezel display, and comes in touch-screen and standard non-touch options.
Both the Chromebooks will be available with 8GB or 16GB of DDR4 SDRAM and either 32GB, 64GB or 128GB of eMMC storage. The Acer Chromebooks will be available in July 2019, starting at USD 499.
