Acer has made a bevy of pre-CES 2018 announcements today including their latest 11″ Chromebook line. Acer says these new Chromebooks are perfect for everyday use with their super portable design and up to 10-hours of battery life. The model numbers for these new devices are CB311-8HT and CB311-8H and they both offer up an 11.6″ display. The design also comes without fans, which should keep things nice and quiet. Both models come with two USB 3.1 Type-C ports which can be used for a variety of things.

The new Chromebook 11 device includes two USB 3.1 Type-C Gen 1 ports, which can be used to charge the device as well as other products, transfer data quickly and connect to an HD display. Plus, customers can use the MicroSD card reader to access and transfer content. The Chromebook 11 also includes two USB 3.0 ports and Bluetooth 4.2. Customers can stay connected to their network with fast and reliable 2×2 MIMO 802.11ac Wi-Fi wireless connectivity.

The Acer Chromebook 11 provides access to the Google ecosystem including Google Drive, Gmail, and a variety of useful Chrome apps and extensions. These new Acer Chromebooks will fully support Google Play at launch, so customers will have access to millions of Android apps on Google Play to let them have more fun, be entertained, stay connected and remain productive.

“The new Chromebook 11 continues Acer’s tradition of delivering strong performance with all the benefits of Chrome OS at an excellent value,” said James Lin, General Manager, Commercial & Detachable Notebooks, IT Products Business, Acer Inc. “Chromebooks are widely known as a fast, easy and secure way to work and play both online and offline.
