The third Chromebook announced by the company is Acer Chromebook 314. It features a 14" FHD display and the OceanGlass touchpad. The device also has a model with a touch-enabled display. There are multiple models available with Intel Celeron dual-core, Intel Celeron quad-core and Pentium Silver processor. The RAM and storage options are similar to the previous devices.

Chromebooks are hybrid devices with the nature and usability of both tablets and laptops. They can be used for doing daily tasks and working with Google Play Store. Essentially, Chromebooks are devices that run on the Google Chrome OS, which is a light operating system that does not require hefty and expensive hardware. It is a key difference between a traditional budget laptop that runs on Windows 10 and a Chromebook.
