The optional USI stylus[2] provides 4,096 different levels of pressure and tilt sensitivity[5] allowing for a natural feel and precise strokes when sketching or note-taking on the display in any of the four modes enabled by the 2-in-1 Chromebook’s 360-degree hinges.

QHD MIPI 2K Webcam and Usability Features Enhance Conferences and Classes

As the first Acer Chromebooks to feature a QHD 2K webcam, these new models provide a premium video conferencing solution for work and school.

Unlocking the devices is made quicker while data also remains secure via the optional fingerprint reader[2].
