Acer’s Chromebook 15 which is not only the largest option in its series, but also one of the most powerful, is getting another speed bump. A new model of the notebook has been officially launched and it comes with a fifth generation Core i5 processor from the Broadwell lineup.

Well, that’s something for you to decide and the new Acer Chromebook 15 model places itself as a great pick since it’s the cheapest option with a Core i5 5200U dual core processor. Your next best choice would be the Chromebook Pixel 2 that’ll cost you a whopping $999.
The Acer notebook, on the other hand, is priced at just $499.99, half of what you’d have to pay for Google’s own laptop. The other benefit is that you get a large 15.6-inch display with upgraded visuals of 1920 x 1080 pixels. The notebook is designed to be durable as it can withstands up to 60kg of force and also 45cm drops without having you worry about damages.
