CX15 and CX15 Enterprise

Running ChromeOS, the new Acer Chromebox CXI5 delivers fast boot times, ease of use, and robust security features. This Chromebox offers maximum flexibility in placement options due to its compact design. It can fit within space-constrained bullpen environments like call centers and coworking spaces and can be placed just about anywhere with its VESA mount kit. Outfitted with up to a 12th Gen Intel Core i7 processor, it provides fast performance for everyday tasks, delivering up to 20% improvement over prior processor generations. The Intel vPro platform, built to support business performance and efficiency, comes with additional hardware-based security for the multi-layered level of protection needed in today’s hybrid working environment, as well as proven stability that IT professionals can rely on.

Outfitted with the Chrome Enterprise Upgrade, the Acer Chromebox Enterprise CXI5 is designed to cater to companies’ IT demands and support the needs of the modern workforce. It unlocks a combination of fast deployment and simple management tools, built-in proactive security features, and access to a wide range of vital productivity apps. The smart device also comes with 24/7 IT admin support, enables IT to enforce hundreds of policies through the Google Admin console, and conducts regular automatic security updates in the background to minimize interruptions and employee downtime. As an eco-friendly investment, the Acer Chromebox Enterprise CXI5 offers low power consumption modes and efficient charging capabilities.

The Acer Chromebox CXI5 and Acer Chromebox Enterprise CXI5 connect to a wide array of peripherals with four USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports and two USB 4 Gen 3 Type-C ports, providing the newest and fastest USB technology that can transfer data at speeds of up to 40 Gpbs. The full-function USB-Type C port, in tandem with dual HDMI 2.1 ports, also supports up to four external displays. In addition, Intel® Wi-Fi 6E (Gig+) and RJ45 2.5G Gigabit Ethernet (2.5GbE) deliver stable internet and network connectivity.

Add-In-One 24

Acer’s new Add-In-One 24 features a modular design consisting of an Acer Chromebox CXI5 or a Chromebox Enterprise CXI5 that fits in the dock on the back of the 24-inch FHD 1080p monitor. This design enables the Acer Chromeboxes to be easily swapped for another to facilitate repairs and upgrades with minimal downtime for the user. Ideal for office workers and meetings, its 115-degree wide-angle 5 MP webcam, dual microphones, and dual 4-watt speakers facilitate high-quality video conferences. Multiple AI noise reduction modes suppress background noise to deliver clear audio, even in the busiest places. For added security, the webcam has a built-in camera shutter to help prevent unintentional image capture from hackers.

The display leverages a premium IPS panel with narrow bezels to deliver accurate images at wide angles, which is helpful when collaborating with others in front of the computer or juggling multiple applications simultaneously. Its thin bezels maximize the viewable area to reduce scrolling, while the monitor can be titled between -5 to 25 degrees to suit the optimal and preferred viewing position.

Optional touch functionality contributes to smooth and effortless navigation, while the display also has an anti-glare coating to eliminate reflections so that it can be used even in bright environments. To prevent tampering from unauthorized personnel, specialized screws help firmly secure the Acer Chromebox CXI5 and the Acer Chromebox Enterprise CXI5 at the back of the docking monitor.
