Acer has unveiled its first touchscreen-equipped Chromebook. The 11.6-inch Acer C720P features a HD display with 1266 x 768 resolution and multi-touch capability that allows uers to “swipe, tap, and pinch to zoom” in content.
The gadget is similar to the Acer C720, except that the newer model has a touch screen. It runs on Intel Celeron 2955U processor and a 32GB SSD. Acer claims its boot time is impressive at less than seven seconds and can even recover from sleep mode just as fast.
It also sports a 2GB DDR3 memory, the latest WiFi technology, and up to 7.5 hours of battery life. Other specs include ports for USB 3.0, USB 2.0, and HDMI, an HD webcam, and dual stereo speakers.
The Acer C720P will be available in early December on Amazon, Best Buy, and Acer’s online store for $299.99. This includes up to 100GB of free Google Drive storage for the first two years and 12 gratis Gogo Inflight passes.
