Acer has updated its Chromebook 15 (C910) notebook by equipping it with Intel 5th generation Core i5-5200U Broadwell CPU.

Previously available with slower Core i3 and Celeron CPUs, the new Acer Chromebook 15 should pack a bit more performance punch. It also come with a redesigned chassis which should take a bit more abuse thanks to sturdier corners and better materials.

In case you missed it, Acer's Chrome 15 (C910) Chromebook is based around a 15.6-inch LED-backlit anti-glare screen with 1920x1080 resolution powered by the aforementioned Core i5-5200U Broadwell Mobile dual-core CPU with Hyper-Threading support, 3MB of L3 cache, Intel HD 5500 graphics and working at 2.2GHz with 2.7GHz maximum Turbo. The CPU is backed by 4GB of RAM and 32GB of internal SSD storage.

The rest of the specifications and features include 802.11ac dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, SD card slot, webcam and microphone, USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports as well as HDMI output. The precise dimensions of the Chromebook 15 C910 are set at 393x256x24.2mm and it weighs 2.2kg.

According to Acer, the new Core i5 equipped Acer Chromebook 15 C910 will be available in April with a suggested retail price set at US $499.99.
