Acer C270 Chromebook Has the Power of a Real Laptop

Acer wants you to know that its Chromebook can beat up your Chromebook. The company just launched its C270 Chromebook, which packs a fourth-generation ("Haswell") Intel Core i3 processor — the same kind of chip you'd find in a "real" laptop.

Until now, almost all Chromebooks used mobile processors such as those from Samsung or Intel's Atom line (the big exception being the Google's Chromebook Pixel, which has a third-generation Intel Core i5)

The Acer is the first in a new line of "high performance" Intel-powered Chromebooks, first announced back in May.
