Acer has launched the Chromebook 715 and the Chromebook 714 duo powered by the 8th Gen Intel processors.
Acer has today launched a pair of new Chromebooks targeted at enterprise users, flaunting a sturdy metallic build, small form factor, Citrix certification, and fingerprint sensors among other features. The two new Chrome OS-powered computing machines launched by Acer at the company’s Next@Acer event are the Acer Chromebook 714 and the Acer Chromebook 715. Both the Acer Chromebook 715 and Chromebook 714 can be configured with up to an 8th Gen Intel Core i5 processor and come equipped with USB Type-C v3.1 ports for charging and faster data transfer. There is a Type-C port on either side, giving users the choice of which side they want to charge the Chromebook from.
The Acer Chromebook 714 and Chromebook 715 feature a shock-proof anodised aluminium chassis that comes with MIL-STD 810G durability certification. Both the new devices are claimed to be highly durable and impact-resistant, capable of withstanding drops from a height of up to 48 inches and vertical force of up to 60kg. The touchpad, on the other hand, is protected by a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass and is claimed to be scratch and moisture resistant.
