The combination of additional real estate on the vibrant 13.3-inch display, industry-leading battery life of up to 13 hours, and a thin and light fanless design makes the Acer Chromebook 13 the ideal choice for customers who want additional screen real estate along with a portable and productivity-boosting design. The Acer Chromebook 13 is available in two options – one with a full HD display with 1920x1080 resolution and another model with a 1366x768 display.

The Acer Chromebook 13 delivers the ultimate in mobility with a Tegra K1 with a 192-core GPU, enabling customers to get more done throughout their work day and after hours, no matter where they are. Customers will experience a first-rate multi-tasking experience when keeping multiple tabs open, playing a video and doing more all at once.

The Acer Chromebook 13 uses a NVIDIA Tegra K1 4-Plus-1 quad-core ARM Cortex A15 CPU plus a third-generation battery-saver core to provide up to 13 hours of battery life. Tegra K1 uses an NVIDIA Kepler architecture-based GPU with 192 programmable General-Purpose Computing on Graphics Processing Units (GPGPU) cores to process rich and detailed graphics.

The Acer Chromebook 13’s large 13.3-inch display comes in two models to give customers the options that fit their needs. The version with a full HD 1920x1080 display shows video in lifelike 1080p resolution and provides up to 11 hours of battery life. In addition, models will be available with a bright and crisp 1366x768 resolution display that provides even longer battery life of up to 13 hours.

Both displays feature Acer ComfyView anti-glare panels that minimize light reflection that can cause eye fatigue. In addition, the Acer Chromebook 13’s display provides rich colors and excellent contrast, while the large size helps accommodate the spacious keyboard that is both comfortable and maximizes productivity.

Security is a key benefit of the Chrome operating system, as it’s automatically updated to guard against ever-changing online threats. This is especially useful for families and schools who want to protect children.
