Chrome Show: Two new Acer Chromebooks for Education

The Chrome Show 2014

Acer was the first company to launch a Chromebook with fifth-generation Intel chip and there’s no signs of the company slowing down. It released two more Chrome OS laptops on Wednesday aimed squarely at the classroom: The C740 and larger C920 Chromebooks, which start at $259.99 and $299.99 respectively.

We cover all the details of these new devices, plus give updates on some of the latest Google Chrome OS and Chrome for Apple iOS features in this week’s podcast. And after our last show where we suggested you might want to wait on a new Chromebook, we received a listener question on that topic that we answer in today’s episode.
