Acer launches laptop that can load in seven seconds Acer's Chromebook will weigh just 1.3kg The Acer C720 has an 11.6-inch high definition screen, an Intel Celeron 2955U processor and eight and a half-hour battery life. HP Chromebook 11 has a similar-sized screen, an Samsung Exynos 5250 processor and a battery that will last six hours. John Miedema, Acer Europe's director product marketing, called the new model a "significant step forward" and said the light-weight design meant it was "portable enough for anywhere use." Acer's Chromebook will go on sale in November, while HP's version is already in UK stores. Both run on a Google operating system.
