Even as the economy slowly opens with some industries requiring their employees to go to the office, a majority of the workforce is still on work-from-home mode because of the pandemic.

Because of this, the importance of using the right devices is more emphasized than ever. Productivity these days hinges on many factors, including one's Internet connection and the laptops and desktops used.

Made for Humanity, Acer's new Chromebooks are performance-minded yet run silently with a fan-less design that is ideal for shared workspaces.

The Acer Chromebook Spin 514 (CP514-2H) and Acer Chromebook Spin Enterprise 514, powered by up to 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i7 processors, offer maximum performance for productive multi-tasking and video conferencing.

The Chromebook’s 14-inch FHD IPS 14-inch display has narrow borders on all four sides for an 84% screen-to-body ratio. For video conferencing, an FHD MIPI webcam utilizes a blue glass filter and noise-reduction technology to provide clearer images and reduced light flares. The Chromebook's dual upward facing speakers flank the keyboard and combine with dual microphones to deliver a clear video conferencing experience, DTS® Audio provides high-quality surround sound, and a built-in smart amplifier enhances the Chromebook’s speakers for louder and clearer audio.

The Chromebooks are powered by up to 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i7 processors and Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics, plus up to 512 GB PCIe NVMe storage and up to 16 GB of RAM, delivering responsive performance . This means they can be woken up from sleep in less than a second.

A huge 15.6-inch FHD IPS[] display, available with optional multi-touch capability, provides extra room for multi-tasking. This is complemented by DTS Audio for high-quality surround sound and built-in smart amplifiers for louder, clearer audio.

The two Chromebooks have military-grade (U.S. MIL-STD 810H) durability, with an aluminum top cover and reinforced design.

Advanced conferencing technology helps to keep employees connected whether working from the office or home and this is enhanced by dual microphones for clear audio. A webcam shutter protects the user's privacy when the video conference is done.
