Overview
Built around Google’s fast, lightweight, and secure ChromeOS, Acer’s latest gaming-focused Chromebook redefines what a Chromebook can be. From the moment you sign in with a Gmail account, everything is designed to feel simple and responsive— essential Google apps are built in, powerful search is always available, and updates run quietly in the background to keep performance smooth and secure.
True to the Chromebook experience, startup times are nearly instant, and the system stays efficient throughout the day. With up to 10 hours of battery life (depending on usage), this Acer Chromebook is designed to keep up with long study sessions, full workdays, extended travel, and hours of streaming or cloud gaming.
Security is another key strength. ChromeOS layers multiple built-in protections to help prevent malware and system slowdowns, ensuring the laptop remains reliable over time with minimal user intervention.
Performance is anchored by a 14th-generation Intel Core processor, paired with DDR4 memory and a fast 512GB SSD, delivering snappy responsiveness for multitasking, productivity, and cloud-based gaming. Whether you’re switching between documents, media, or browser-based tools, the experience remains fluid and efficient.
Visuals are a standout feature. Acer equips this Chromebook with a 16-inch QHD (2560 × 1600) display featuring a 120Hz refresh rate, producing crisp detail and smooth motion. The wide color coverage and high resolution enhance everything from gameplay and streaming to creative work and everyday browsing.
Connectivity is equally well thought out. With Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, and a 2.5G RJ-45 Ethernet port, the laptop delivers stable, low-latency connections—especially important for cloud gaming and high-bandwidth streaming. A comprehensive selection of ports, including USB-C, USB-A, HDMI 2.1, and a 3.5mm audio jack, ensures compatibility with modern peripherals and external displays.
Designed with cloud gaming at its core, this Acer Chromebook is fully optimized for NVIDIA GeForce NOW, enabling high-frame-rate gaming without downloads, installs, or local hardware strain. Combined with its high-refresh display, fast networking, and backlit keyboard, it delivers a seamless gaming experience powered entirely by the cloud.
Beyond gaming, Acer rounds out the package with thoughtful everyday features. A 1080p webcam with AI-assisted enhancements, noise reduction, and background blur ensures clear video calls, while quick-access privacy controls add convenience and peace of mind. Support for AI-powered Google and Adobe apps further expands its usefulness for productivity and creative tasks.
Overall, Acer’s gaming-focused Chromebook Plus blends simplicity, security, and modern performance into a single, versatile device— well suited for students, professionals, and gamers who want a hassle-free, cloud-first laptop that can handle both work and play.
