The Chromebook has a chassis that’s 99 percent recyclable, and comes in packaging that’s 90 percent recycled paper. Acer’s press release even suggests that part of the Chromebook’s packaging can be’transformed into a multi-purpose triangular laptop stand’.
You can spec it out with a range of five-core Pentium gold 8505. The core i3-1215u, the core i5-1235u, and a core i7-1255u are all relatively low-power chips.
The 1080p screen is covered in Gorilla glass. It’s still a step up from the 227-nit panel found on its Windows counterpart the Windows model can only display 66 percent of the sRGB gamut.
The 514 computer comes with a’flare-reducing’ webcam. The computer also comes with an HDMI port, a headphone jack.
Acer says the trackpad’s surface is made up of 100 percent’ocean-bound plastics’. The keycaps are made of 50 percent post-consumer recycled plastic.
The base model 514 comes with the core i3, 8GB of RAM, and a 128GB SSD, starts at $ 499.99999.
The 514 is also running ChromeOS, which is considered to be less demanding than Windows. It could help the 514 stay out of the landfill for longer.
