Acer brought out its largest Chromebook to date, the Chromebook 15, at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas that runs through January 6 to 9 this year. 

Chromebooks are all the rage especially in schools and large businesses in the United States because although they are cheaper and less flashier than high-end laptops or notebooks, but they still get the job done.

"Acer has been a leader in the Chromebook market, from providing the latest in technology and trailblazing battery life to designing new form factors. We're driving the category forward again with the world's first 15.6-inch display Chromebook, the Acer Chromebook 15," said Jerry Kao, president of Acer Notebook Business Group.

The Acer Chromebook 15 is the company's first Chromebook that uses 5th Generation Intel Core i3 and next generation Intel Celeron processors based on Intel 5th Generation Core micro-architecture.

"The Acer Chromebook 15 provides full immersive computing thanks to the stunning 15.6-inch display, which is 27 per cent larger than 13.3-inch Chromebooks on the market. This large size increases productivity by giving customers more real estate to view multiple tabs and apps," Acer said in a statement.

The Chromebook 15 offers two options for screen resolution, a 1920x1080p, which allows more content to be seen on screen and reduce scrolling, and 1366x768p. It's not yet confirmed if the latter will be less expensive. However, both have Acer's ComfyView display with anti-glare properties.

It weighs 2.2kg (4.85lbs) and is 24.13mm thick (0.95 inches).

"The Acer Chromebook 15 is a true powerhouse – it provides fast mobile performance and a large display to help customers accomplish more every day," Kao said. 

As for the storage, consumers can choose between versions with 16GB internal memory paired with 2GB of RAM, and 32GB with 4GB of RAM. The Chromebook 15 also opted for a solid state drive (SSD), which has an overall powerful performance, than the normal hard disk drive (HDD).

The price difference between the variants are not yet announced. Prices start at $250 in the United States, but exact specifications, prices, and availability will vary by region.
