acer's global press event the next at acer event has just wrapped up and in lieu of a real event that we could go to and have hands-on equipment acer sent us a couple of the new chromebooks they announced four of them at this event they've sent us a couple of them and one of them is the world's first NUMBER_TOKEN-inch chromebook so this thing is going to be an absolute mammoth we're going to jump inside the box and just get our initial impressions of it today's video is brought to you by nordvpn they're the vpn of choice for millions of users because they're awesome at what they do and that's keeping your browsing safe and secure whether you're at home or out and about and if you'd like to learn more about them head over to URL_TOKEN forward slash nordvpn and there you can learn more and go ahead and get started alright so without any further ado let's just jump in the box here and this is a hefty box it's a hefty chromebook it is the acer chromebook NUMBER_TOKEN so there's a couple things we can glean from just that model number uh one is the fact that it's a NUMBER_TOKEN series chromebook which means it's in the more affordable price range this one is slated to start at NUMBER_TOKEN dollars in the us and i'll be launching in june and for that you're going to get four gigs of ram NUMBER_TOKEN gigs of internal storage and ips display but there are going to be lots of options on this thing to add things like touch functionality a backlit keyboard up to NUMBER_TOKEN gigs of storage up to eight gigs of ram and the base model of this thing starts with the celeron nNUMBER_TOKEN and if you haven't heard that model or don't know what that even means it's intel's latest small core processor so these jasper-like chromebooks we've been talking about a lot that are coming they're starting to get here and while this is a pre-production model and i can't run a bunch of benchmarks for you and answer a bunch of those performance questions just yet do know that they are right on the way and we're just going to take a look kind of at this thing and get some idea about what you're going to get for that NUMBER_TOKEN dollar price point as far as what else is in the box here basic paperwork stocker foam charger all the stuff that you would expect all here we're going to get that out of the way so that we can kind of focus in on this very massive chromebook and i think this is going to be for a lot of users a bunch of people don't want to carry around something this large and this heavy in their backpack with them and i get that but NUMBER_TOKEN inches kind of makes you feel like hey i don't really need an extended monitor i don't need to get my display larger to really get some work done on this and this can be the only piece of hardware i need on my desk maybe and then when i need to pick it up and take it with me or need to go somewhere else with it then i'm free to go do so now that being said this is still a laptop even though it's a huge one and people are going to want to take this around with them so
