Both of Acer’s new Intel Core i3 Chromebooks are in stock and ready for shipping from retail giant Amazon in the US.
Acer’s iterative update to the successful C720 line was formally introduced earlier this month at which point pre-orders went live at a number of online merchants.
As of this week, the notebook is available to buy in the US.
The model was subject to a barrage of leaks, rumours and accidental store listings, giving buyers plenty of heads-up as to its arrival.
So what’s so special about it?
Acer C720-3871 Specifications
The use of the latest 4th generation Intel Core i3 processor means the notebook should post impressive speeds compared to its Celeron kin but also continue to limit the draw on battery to a minimum.
Despite the power efficiency the Acer C720-3x series models are not fanless.
