Acer’s new 13-inch Chromebook is also a convertible tablet

nonetheless just a few days out from the legitimate kickoff of this year’s IFA conference in Berlin, however Acer’s kicking things off with a glut of product bulletins. the corporate’s information generally revolves round its gaming offerings, but it surely also managed to sneak a new Chromebook into the proceedings.

The Chromebook R 13 incorporates a 13-inch touchscreen display that clocks in at 1920×1080. probably the most impressive characteristic on the thing, however, is a 360-stage hinge that turns the Chrome OS netbook right into a convertible tablet – or doubles as a kickstand for observing movies and so forth.

The Chromebook has a MediaTek quad-core processor and a battery that promises up to 12 hours of existence on a cost, which I will have used on this red eye into Berlin (but I digress). There’s 4GB of RAM on board and three storage configurations: sixteen, 32 or 64GB.

It hits the usa in October, starting at $ 399.
