Acer's First Aluminum Case Chromebook

Chromebooks are not full-fledged computers, but they do a heck of lot, and cost a lot less money. And they're becoming increasingly popular for back to school. The Tech Times says that Google Chromebook now owns over 50% of educational tech market share In the US. Acer is huge in that marketplace and their newest model is their Chromebook 14. It has a 14” HD screen, large enough to enjoy and share videos and using multiple tabs for various projects. Yet it's still portable enough to fit in a backpack or book bag. It features Acer's first all-aluminum Chromebook case that adds protection, while remaining lightweight. Acer says their new model (CB3-431-C5FM) is the industry’s first Chromebook with up to 14 hours of battery life on an HD display and up to 12 hours of battery life on a full HD display.
