Acer today introduced the Acer

a 15.6-inch display. The large touchscreen display pairs with the convertible 360-degree
design to
deliver a powerful and portable Chromebook with first-rate entertainment and
productivity capabilities.
In addition, Acer is launching a new
Chromebook 15 (CB315-1H/1HT) line that pairs a large 15-inch display and long 14-hour
battery life at a budget-friendly price.
“Acer has led the Chromebook market
with a wide range of form factors, sizes and designs to meet the needs of our
customers, and we’re expanding our line with new exciting 15-inch models today,”
said James Lin, General Manager, Commercial & Detachable Notebooks, IT
Products Business at Acer. “Acer’s new Chromebooks with large 15-inch Full HD
displays are ideal for collaborating on projects for work and school, enjoying
streaming media and running the latest apps. Plus, the Acer Chromebook Spin 15
is the company’s first to combine a large 15.6-inch display with a convertible
design, so customers can use the device in different modes.”
Both the new Acer Chromebook Spin 15
(CP315-1H) and Chromebook 15 (CB315-1H/1HT) fully support Android apps via Google
Play, joining the performance, security and simplicity of Chrome with the more
than two million Android apps that consumers know and love.
Chromebook Spin 15 Provides Big Entertainment
The new Acer Chromebook Spin 15’s large
1080p display is ideal for people who want an affordable computer that can also
be used for entertainment in homes, apartments or dorm rooms. The 1920x1080
resolution delivers sharp visuals while IPS technology provides wide viewing
angles for sharing streaming video. Plus, the display supports 10-finger touch for
responsive website browsing and running the latest apps. The large FHD IPS display is complemented by two full-sized
upward-facing speakers that deliver enhanced volume and audio range for an
excellent HD entertainment experience. The large display boosts productivity with the additional
screen real estate for apps and tabs. This also makes
room for a comfortable full-sized keyboard and a large Corning®
Gorilla® Glass touchpad that provides smooth navigation through
sites and apps.
Flexible Design That Looks Great
The Acer Chromebook Spin 15’s 360-degree
hinges allow the touchscreen display to be rotated a full 360°until it becomes completely open and ready for use as
a large tablet for reading online content, enjoying video and staying in touch
on social media. This convertible design means that the keyboard can be quickly
manoeuvred back for use in traditional notebook mode. In addition, customers can stand it up in display mode to
get closer to the screen, or use it in tent-mode for constrained spaces like
airplane cabins.
The Chromebook Spin 15 has a silver
cross-hairline pattern on the top cover that looks great in any setting. This
unique silky texture provides a premium look that’s professional enough for the
office and stylish enough for the home. The Chromebook Spin 15 can easily be
moved around the home or office since it weighs only 2.1kg (4.63 pounds).
Performance and All-Day Battery Life
The new Acer Chromebook Spin 15 can be used for a full day of
work or school, plus streaming and fun since it delivers industry-leading
battery life of up to 13 hours2. The fanless
design allows it to run quietly, making it great for shared spaces such as a
family room, library or coffee shop.
It provides solid everyday
performance, since it’s powered by the quad-core Intel® Pentium®
N4200 processor, Intel® Celeron® N3450 processor, or the
dual-core Intel® Celeron® N3350 processor. It comes with
4GB or 8GB LPDDR4 memory and either 32GB or 64GB of on–board eMMC storage.
Staying Connected
Fast and reliable 2x2 MIMO
802.11ac Wi-Fi keeps customers connected, while Bluetooth 4.2 provides a
convenient connection to peripherals. The Acer 720p HD webcam has high dynamic range (HDR)
and a wide field of view for accommodating groups in video conferences and
Google Hangouts.
The
new Acer Chromebook Spin 15 has two USB 3.1 Type-C Gen 1 ports for quick
transfer of data, connecting to an HD display as well as charging the device or
other products. In addition, the Acer Chromebook Spin 15 includes two USB 3.0

viewing multiple tabs and apps. The Chromebook 15 is powered by the quad-core Intel Pentium N4200
