Two 'Acer C720P Chromebook' stories December 2013 - January 2014

Acer adds Moonstone White C720P Chromebook to its touchscreen lineup

In addition to its new low cost tablets and Android-powered All-in-one computers, Acer announced a new color option to its Chromebook lineup ahead of CES next week.

The Acer C720P that debuted last November will soon be available in Moonstone White and debut next week at CES. The Acer C720P retails at $299 and features 32GB of storage, 2GB of RAM, and an HD touch screen at 1366×768 resolution. Like the existing models, the C720P features USB 2/3 ports as well as HDMI for display-output and runs Chrome OS.

Acer’s new $299 touchscreen Chromebook hits store shelves this week, available on Amazon now

Last month, Acer announced a new Chromebook for the holiday season in the touchscreen-capable C720P, but without any real availability information. Today, however, Google announced that the C720P will begin to hit store shelves in the U.S. and other countries this week. The laptop is also available on Amazon now, whereas it was previously listed as being up for pre-order. Amazon still notes that the Chromebook will not ship until mid-December and that “availability will be limited”. Customers who pre-ordered the laptop on Amazon are now being charged, though, which means that their orders should begin to ship anytime now.

As part of this immersive, tactile world, Acer has announced the new Acer C720P Chromebook with a multi-touch screen, adding the second touch-enabled Chromebook to the lineup. Acer’s Chromebooks are consistent best-sellers on Amazon, and this new device will help more users experience the best of the tactile web for just $299.
