it's a Chromebook but bigger I'm Dan Ackerman here at CES 2015 with the Acer Chromebook 15 this is as far as we could tell the first Chromebook with a 15-inch display we've previously seen plenty of systems that use Google's Chrome OS and 11 inch screens and 13 inch screens even a 14 inch or two but never before and something as big as this now what is Chrome well that's a simplified operating system from Google that's basically just the Chrome web browser and it's meant for use with online tools and cloud-based tools not a lot of things you can do locally on the computer when it's offline but if what you do is mostly online stuff like email and social media then a Chromebook can certainly make a lot of sense and cost a lot less than regular laptops this guy resides having a larger screen you can get it with a full HD screen in 1920 by 1080 although there's also a less-expensive 1366 by 768 display available and more interestingly it's the first Chromebook that we've seen that uses Intel's new Broadwell generation of processors this uses a a Broadwell Celeron processor but I suspect that more upscale like core i3 CPUs will be coming at some point in the future but for right now you get the new Broadwell Celeron and the 1366 by 768 display later in January in the US for only 249 dollars I'm Dan Ackerman and that is the Acer Chromebook 15
