Acer today
introduced two new premium Chromebooks designed for business use – the Acer
Chromebook Spin 13 and the Acer Chromebook 13. Both models feature a stylish
and durable all-aluminum design and a full HD+ 13.5-inch display in a 3:2
aspect ratio. The new Acer Chromebooks are powered by 8th Gen Intel®
Core™ processors providing exceptional performance and battery life
for productivity on the go.
The convertible
Chromebook Spin 13 (CP713-1WN) has 360-degree hinges for use as a tablet,
notebook, display, or in tent-mode. It comes with a Wacom® stylus
(for pen input) that can be conveniently stored in the device slot. The Acer
Chromebook 13 (CB713-1W) opts for the traditional notebook design for
keyboard-heavy tasks.
“The new premium
profiles of the Acer Chromebooks are a reflection of the superior performance
they provide, as well as of the vast capabilities of Chrome OS,” said James
Lin, General Manager, Commercial & Detachable Notebooks, IT Products
Business at Acer. “As a leader in Chromebooks, Acer has helped accelerate their
adoption in business, education, and at home. As Chrome OS has evolved to
include more features, we’ve responded with designs and form factors that offer
meaningful benefits to our customers.”
Productivity-Boosting
Full HD+ 13.5-inch Display
The new Acer
Chromebook Spin 13 and Acer Chromebook 13 feature a 13.5-inch Full HD+ display
with 2256x1504 resolution for 3.3 million pixels of brilliant clarity and
vibrancy while running apps and viewing content. The IPS display lets users
easily present projects and share content thanks to its wide 178-degree viewing
angles.
The display’s 3:2
aspect ratio adds 18 percent more vertical space compared to an equally wide
16:9 display, so customers scroll less when viewing websites, documents, and
spreadsheets. Plus, when the Chromebook Spin 13 is in tablet mode, the taller
display feels more like an actual magazine, enhancing the reading experience.
Stylish and
Sturdy Premium Aluminum Design
The Chromebook 13’s
new design features a beautiful all-aluminum chassis that is visually appealing
for professionals, students, or anyone who appreciates sleek, modern design.
The attractive diamond-cut effects on the edges and surrounding the touchpad
complement the sandblasted matte aluminum chassis, making it pleasing to touch
and easier to grip.
The Chromebook
Spin 13 and Chromebook 13 are both built with a sturdy but stylish aluminum
chassis to improve durability while reducing flex. The Corning®
Gorilla® Glass touchpad provides smooth navigation when browsing the
web and using apps, while dual microphones effectively pinpoint sound for clear
audio during video chats and online calls.
Convertible
Chromebook Spin 13 with Four Usage Modes and Wacom Pen Input
The Chromebook
Spin 13’s convertible design with 360-degree hinges allows it to be opened a
full 360-degrees so the touchscreen display can be used in tablet mode, useful
for reading online content, gaming, or chatting. The convertible design brings
the keyboard forward quickly for input. In addition, customers can stand it up
in display mode to get closer to the screen, or use it in tent-mode in tight
spaces.
The included Wacom
EMR stylus lets customers sketch, take notes, capture ideas, and
interact with programs and apps with precision. The refined elastomer tip
provides unsurpassed accuracy and a natural writing experience. In addition, it
can be stored in the Chromebook Spin 13’s storage slot to prevent it from
getting misplaced.
Staying Connected
The new Acer
Chromebooks have USB 3.1 Type-C ports on each side for charging the Chromebook
from the most convenient angle. Plus, the ports can be used for quick data
transfers when connecting to an external display or for charging other devices.
Both new Chromebooks also have a legacy USB 3.0 port and a MicroSD card reader.
The Chromebook
Spin 13 and Chromebook 13 feature dual slot-antennae to provide fast and
reliable 2x2 MIMO 802.11ac Wi-Fi, while Bluetooth 4.2 delivers a convenient
connection to peripherals.
All-Day Battery Life and Enhanced Performance
The new Acer
Chromebook Spin 13 can be used for a full day of work or school, streaming or
gaming, with its industry-leading battery life of up to 10 hours.
The Acer
Chromebook Spin 13 is powered by an 8th Gen Intel Core i5-8250U
processor or Core i3-8130U processor. It offers up to 16GB LPDDR3 memory and up
to 128GB of on–board eMMC storage.
The Acer
Chromebook 13 processor options include an 8th Generation Intel Core
i3-8130U, Intel® Pentium® 4415U or Intel®
Celeron® 3865U. It comes with up to 16GB LPDDR3 memory and either
32GB or 64GB of on–board eMMC storage.
Android App
Support; Chrome OS Speed, Simplicity and Security
Both the new Acer
Chromebook Spin 13 and Chromebook 13 fully support Android apps via Google
Play, so customers can have access to Chrome apps and more than two million
Android apps for productivity, connectivity, and fun.
The new Acer
Chromebooks are not only easy to use, but also easy to share with multiple
users. Customers simply log into their Google account to access Gmail, Google
Docs, apps, extensions, bookmarks, and more. Chromebooks run on Google’s Chrome
OS platform, which automatically updates and uses multiple levels of security
to guard against ever-changing online threats.
