| Acer built the Chromebook 515 to work anywhere anytime |
Acer unveiled a range of Chromebooks at its latest global press conference. Including the Acer Chromebook 515, the company's latest 15.6-inch device.
Like most laptop manufacturers, the company is trying to reach employees and students remotely with its many new releases.
The Acer Chromebook 515 is a new line of products for customers who work at home because it looks like a useful video conferencing tool.
The company has released quite a few 15.6-inch Chromebooks in recent years. But most of them are very poor in terms of specifications.
The Acer Chromebook 515 is equipped with Core i3-1115G4, Pentium Gold 7505, Core i5 or Core i7 processors with up to 16GB of RAM and up to 512GB of NVMe storage.
The company made the computer case out of aluminum, while the bottom is made of plastic. In general, the device makes a solid and relatively well-made impression.
The speaker, powered by a built-in smart speaker, produces louder, encapsulated sound than many Windows laptops.
The webcam also has a physical shutter that can be easily moved back and forth. It can keep the user visible in the dark. There are also two types of built-in microphones.
The company did not care about the size of the battery. But he claims you can use it for up to 10 hours. Although the 15.6-inch screen is not the brightest. However, this screen is just too big for multitasking and the rug is enough to avoid any glare.
The keyboard is backlit and numeric keypad. There is a fingerprint reader and a large glass touchpad under the keyboard.

Technically, the computer has two models, the Chromebook 515 Standard and the Chromebook 515 Enterprise. The only difference seems to be that the latter comes with Chrome Enterprise, which includes additional security and management tools for IT departments.
