According to the announcement, the lineup is made up of the Acer Chromebook Spin 311, 314, 511, and 512, all of which come with a reinforced chassis, shock-absorbing bumpers, and a special drainage system to protect against spills. The devices’ touchpads are even made out of environmentally-friendly OceanGlass, a material made out of plastic waste taken from the ocean. The Spin 311 has an 11.6-inch convertible touchscreen display protected by Corning Gorilla Glass infused with ionic silver to resist odors and stains. Powering the 311 is a MediaTek MT8183 CPU and an up to 15-hour battery life. This device will be available in North America starting March at $399.99. The 314 has a 14-inch Full HD touchscreen display protected by an anti-glare coating and flare-reducing webcam, allowing the Chromebook to be used in bright lighting without much headache. Other features include DTS Audio for high-quality sound, 10 hours of battery life, and the latest N-series Intel processors. The 314 will be available in North America in the second half of 2022 at $427.99. The Chromebook 511 is similar to the 314 as it also shares the same anti-glare coating and Intel processors but is more affordable due to fewer overall features and the smaller size. It makes up for this with an up to 12-hour battery life and a $349.99 price tag. The 511 will be available starting February. The 512 boasts three separate processors: two Intel Celeron CPUs and one Pentium Silver, allowing this Chromebook to deliver fast performance, and a taller 12-inch display with 3:2 ratio for more productivity. It’s ideal for remote learning with anti-glare features, two built-in microphones, and a 12-hour battery life. It’ll be available in North America starting January at $349.99.
