The 16:10, 14-inch Chromebook boasts vivid displays and high-quality video conferencing with its WUXGA display, 100% sRGB coverage, a built-in QHD 2K webcam, and DTS® Audio.

Hybrid workers and students can fully maximize the 2-in-1 Chromebook for daily use with its flexible 360-degree convertible mode, quick-charging USI stylus, and compliance to military-grade durability standards.

Productivity-Boosting Technology and Immersive Visuals

The new Chromebooks are powered by the latest 13th Gen Intel® Core™ i7 processors, which deliver up to a 10% improvement in performance over the previous generation. They also adhere to Intel® Evo™ platform standards, providing responsive performance and up to 10 hours of battery life. For particularly long days, the battery can be quick-charged for just 30 minutes to provide up to four hours of use. Moreover, for businesses that require additional manageability and security controls, the Acer Chromebook Enterprise Spin 714 supports Intel vPro® technology.

The 14-inch touchscreen Chromebook with a WUXGA (1920×1200) display showcases visuals in a vibrant and true-to-life 100% sRGB color range. The vivid 16:10 display is surrounded by thin bezels and comes equipped with Antimicrobial Corning® Gorilla® Glass to protect it from scratches while resisting stains and odor-causing bacteria. The optional USI stylus provides 4,096 different levels of pressure and tilt sensitivity, allowing for a natural feel and precise strokes when sketching or note-taking on the display in any of the four modes enabled by the 2-in-1 Chromebook’s 360-degree hinges.

QHD MIPI 2K Webcam and Usability Features Enhance Conferences and Classes

As the first Acer Chromebooks to feature a QHD 2K webcam, these new models provide a premium video conferencing solution for work and school. In addition to providing high-resolution images, the 2K webcam comes with temporal noise reduction technology to maintain high-quality visuals even in low-light conditions, as well as a physical shutter to protect privacy. The visuals are complemented by dual microphones and dual upward-facing speakers with DTS® Audio and a built-in smart amplifier, which provides higher-quality, distortion-free sound, and deeper bass.

The Chromebooks stay connected via Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2, as well as to additional devices via a range of ports including HDMI and two Thunderbolt™ 4 ports. Unlocking the devices is made quicker while data also remains secure via the optional fingerprint reader. Plus, the backlit keyboard and Corning® Gorilla® Glass touchpad deliver a premium feel, making them a joy to use.
