Acer Chromebook R13 Announced At IFA
Today at IFA in Berlin, Germany, Acer announced a new Chromebook that looks pretty impressive. The new Chromebook R13 will be hitting stores in October and it sports not only a touchscreen but also has a folding design so you can use it as a slate. This is the combination that many Chromebook users have been waiting for from the platform and with a price tag of around $400, it is still reasonably affordable.
As the name suggests, the R13 has a 13″ LCD display that provides 1080p HD, has 4GB of RAM and will start out with 16GB of storage. Acer plans to have 32GB and 64GB models available at the time of the release. The R13 is powered by a MediaTek MT8173C quad-core processor, has a USB Type-C port, HDMI port and a 720p webcam.
