Acer Chromebook 13 is now official

Next to Samsung, Acer was one of the first two companies to announce a laptop loaded with Google's Chrome OS back in May 2011. The first Acer Chromebook began shipping in mid-June 2011, and now the Taiwanese company is the market leader of this segment. They launched their first Chromebook powered by a 4th generation Intel Core i3 processor a few weeks ago, while the Acer Chromebook 13 now becomes their first 13-inch portable running Chrome OS.

These are the four Acer Chromebook 13 configurations that should start shipping next month:

All the configurations use a quad-core NVIDIA Tegra K1 SoC and weigh around 3.3 pounds. These 0.7-inch thick Chrome OS-powered notebooks offer a battery life between 11 hours and 13 hours and can be already pre-ordered from Amazon or BestBuy.
