Acer Introduces the New Chromebook Plus Enterprise 714 Line

Acer America has recently unveiled its latest offerings, the Chromebook Plus Enterprise 714 and 514 models, aimed at businesses looking for robust cloud-based solutions. These new Chromebooks are not just ordinary laptops; they bring in the future of work with advanced technology that promotes productivity, security, and seamless management.

Premium Features for Modern Enterprises

The Chromebook Plus Enterprise 714, also known by its model number CBE794-1/T, is a noteworthy device that stands out for its premium and durable design. It features a lightweight aluminum chassis that adheres to MIL-STD 810H standards, ensuring it can withstand tough work environments. Weighing less than 3 lbs, this laptop is equipped with Intel® Core™ Ultra processors that deliver exceptional performance, which is paramount for multitasking environments.

What sets this model apart is not just the processing power but also its significant battery life, offering up to 20.5 hours on a single charge. Users can expect consistent high-performance whether they're drafting reports, video conferencing, or accessing complex cloud applications. The beautiful 14-inch WUXGA display provides sharp visuals and optional multi-touch capabilities, making it ideal for creating presentations and engaging during meetings.

Another standout feature is the Gigabit Ethernet port, ensuring stable internet connectivity, and the inclusion of dual Thunderbolt ports simplifies connections with a variety of devices. Coupled with a fingerprint reader for secure access, businesses can ensure a higher level of security when it comes to sensitive data.

Seamless Integration and Employee Productivity

Acer's new Chromebook series supports Cameyo—a platform designed to deliver business-critical applications securely. This provides organizations the flexibility to run Windows, Linux, and SaaS applications directly on Chromebook devices, helping teams to stay connected and productive no matter where they are located. So whether employees are hybrid working or fully remote, they have robust tools at their disposal to carry out their roles effectively.

In a world where remote work is becoming increasingly normalized, the models focus heavily on features supporting virtual meetings. Both the 714 and the 514 models include a QHD webcam with Acer's Temporal Noise Reduction (TNR), enhancing video clarity and reducing noise disturbances during video calls. Additionally, a triple-microphone setup aids in effective communication while dual upward-firing speakers ensure that the audio quality is top-notch whether in a meeting or enjoying entertainment.

Commitment to Sustainability

In alignment with Acer’s Earthion initiative, both devices incorporate eco-friendly design principles. They feature OceanGlass™ touchpads made from recycled ocean-bound plastic, helping to reduce environmental impact. Including EPEAT registration, these Chromebooks are designed to meet Energy Star certification, reflecting Acer's commitment to sustainability while still delivering high performance.

The Chromebook Plus Enterprise 714 will be available in North America in Q4 of this year, starting at $1,499.99 for business customers. Meanwhile, the Chromebook Plus Enterprise 514, which also boasts impressive specs such as Intel Core processors and a battery life of up to 17 hours, is already shipping in North America, with a starting price of $1,099.99.
