This is a mobile chip which is equipped to deal with high quality, console gaming level graphics. It is the same chip that helps in saving energy and enables the new Acer Chromebook 13 deliver a continuous 13 hour performance on a single charge.
The latest Nvidia Tegra-K1-powered Chromebook 13 from Acer can turn out to be the first console level Chrome laptop.
This new 13 inch Chromebook is packed with new quadcore from Nvidia which is known as Tegra K1 CPU.

In the earlier Chrome laptops from Acer various key areas, like, power, display and industrial design were compromised in order to keep the final retail price and costs low. But this time Acer makes no compromises. That is why for the first time the brand has launched the first Chrome laptop with an Nvidia Tegra K1 processor.
However, the features that are packed in these devices are yet to be tested.
It has been almost 5 years since these Chromebooks were introduced and these were known for their above average battery performances. This happens owing to the fact that the operating system is an almost powerful Chrome OS browser.
The new Chromebooks are light in weight and have powerful graphics that had been built following their already high commercial sales.
With the school season first approaching both Acer and Nvidia are expected to have their sights on the educational sphere. But Acer is not the sole manufacturer which has developed a Chromebook. Samsung, Toshiba and HP too have tried to improve the look and feel of their Chrome laptops.
The new one from Acer is not really an improvement with a greyish-white chasis and a black full size keyboard but it looks okay.
The new Acer Chromebook can be preordered in two different kinds of models:
- INR 18,000/- (approx) for 2GB of memory and a 16GB drive memory
- INR 23,000/- (approx) for 4GB of memory and a 32GB drive memory
Hopefully the new chip will prove to be more effective in power saving for the new device.
