Acer’s Chromebook 15 is the largest to date, and the first to accommodate a fifth-generation Intel Core M processor based on the Broadwell micro-architecture. We’re talking a Core i3-5005U. That doesn’t sound like a powerhouse, but it should be good enough to beat most of the Chromebook competition. Alternatively, the Acer Chromebook 15 can be had with an Intel Celeron 3205U chip (also based on Broadwell).

Choice is the word du jour in the display department too, with two Full HD options offered (one with wide viewing angles, so presumably an IPS panel), and one sporting a more mundane 1,366 x 768 resolution to reduce the price. The usable screen real estate measures 15.6 inches in all three cases, and all three have an anti-glare coat.
