Acer seals its leadership position in the Chromebook market by revealing details at IFA today of the availability of its new Chromebook 514. Aimed at tech lovers, young professionals and college students, Acer’s continued focus on the growing market for Chromebooks, gaming and ultra-portable PCs is proving to be a successful business strategy.
Stylish Yet Tough And Designed To Be Seen
Continuing a strong track record in bringing to market first-class design, award-winning chromebooks, Acer’s new Chromebook 514 encapsulates strength, durability and stylish good looks in a strong, lightweight metal chassis that means it is less likely to be bent, warped or dented. The narrow bezel allows for a 14” screen in a smaller footprint with a 6mm narrow bezel and wide viewing angle of the Full HD IPS screen allowing users to enjoy the full majesty of films, videos and TV shows. An optional touch screen makes it easy to navigate and control videos on the 1920x1080 resolution display with 2,073,600 pixels display.
Polished Performance and Easy Productivity
Fast boot times, ease of use, tough security and a 12 hour battery life are some of the advantages of Chrome OS. The fast boot time, simplified interface, integrated malware and efficient use of power means users can enjoy hassle-free computing and stay productive all day, without the need for the power adapter. With Chrome OS, users can still use their favorite software as traditional office productivity programs like Microsoft Office and Skype have Chrome versions.
Tougher, Smoother Touch
Tapping, swiping, scrolling and zooming are smoother than ever. The Corning Gorilla touchpad provides a slicker feel than a regular plastic touchpad with the ability to withstand scratches and pits so it will continue to look as slick as the day it was bought.
Greater Camera Clarity And Keyboard Comfort
The HDR webcam provides crystal clear clarity and sharpness so camera subjects are always shown in brilliant detail whilst the ‘day or night’ backlit keyboard not only looks good, it also allow users to type comfortably in dimly lit environments.
Port Practicality
One connector is used for ultra-quick data transfer, video streaming, and battery charging. The reversible USB 3.1 Type-C ports are easy to attach to and with a transfer rate up to 5Gb/sec, are 10 times faster than USB 2.0.
