Ahead of CES 2015, Acer
announced a handful of new products on Saturday, including two
Chromebooks, a laptop with a 3D camera, improved processors, new
monitors and more. The latest Acer devices will debut this week in Las
Vegas.
The Chromebook 15 has a larger-sized 15.6-inch HD display. As with
all Chromebooks, it's made to be cheap: Prices start at $249.99, with a
16GB SSD drive and 2GB of RAM. A release date has not yet been
specified. <br><br>The Chromebook 15 has a fifth-generation Intel processor, as well as
15 hours of battery life, according to Acer. The laptop also has the
largest touchpad available on any Chromebook device. In addition, Acer is updating its current Chromebook 13
to include touchscreens. The new finger-friendly Chromebook 13 will be
available later this month, and is set to retail for $329.99.
Outside of Chromebooks, Acer announced its improved Aspire V 17 Nitro notebook,
which will soon come with a 3D camera. According to Acer, users can
interact with the computer (e.g. use web pages, navigate apps) without
touching its keyboard. The Aspire V 17 Nitro can also generate 3D models
for 3D printing. Exact pricing hasn't been revealed, but it will be
available this month.
Acer is also including fifth-generation Intel Core processors (for
all-around better performance on its computers) in a few of its models,
as well as introducing new gaming monitors and a wireless projector.
