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.
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.
