Acer Launches Thinner, Lighter, More Powerful Chromebook

Acer has announced the launch of C720 Chromebook, a new 11.6-inch ultraportable based on Intel's new Haswell chip

The specs include a 1.4GHz Intel Celeron processor, an 11.6-inch, 1366x768 pixel display, 4GB of low-power RAM, a 16GB SSD and 8.5 hours of battery life

Acer managed to stuff all that into a case that's 30 percent slimmer than the company's previous Chromebook, measuring only 0.75 inches thick, with the weight being 2.76 pounds

Exact shipping date hasn't been revealed, but the C720 is already listed for pre-order at Amazon and should also be coming to Best Buy for $250
