Acer Unveils Premium Chromebook Plus Enterprise 714 Lineup
Acer is doubling down on ChromeOS for the enterprise market with the launch of its new Chromebook Plus Enterprise 714 series. Packed with Intel Core Ultra processors, military-grade durability, and Google AI capabilities, this thin-and-light premium lineup targets organizations looking to scale Google-powered productivity and secure cloud workflows. Alongside it, the refreshed Chromebook Plus Enterprise 514 is now officially available across North America.
Both devices combine business-focused ChromeOS features, deep Google AI and Gemini integration, and robust security—all built to MIL-STD 810H standards. Most notably, they come preloaded with the full Chrome Enterprise Upgrade suite, giving IT teams granular control, seamless device provisioning, and managed security without extra licensing hoops.
Designed for the Modern Enterprise: AI at the Core
ChromeOS continues to prioritize AI-driven productivity, and Acer’s latest hardware is engineered to leverage that strength. Employees gain access to Gemini-powered tools for writing, meetings, and search, plus a Quick Insert key that lets them instantly add prompts, tools, and assets on the fly.
Cameyo support is another key feature, enabling businesses to securely run legacy Windows apps, Linux tools, internal software, and SaaS platforms alongside cloud-native workflows. No cumbersome VDI setups or VPN sprawl required—just seamless cross-platform functionality.
Chromebook Plus Enterprise 714: Premium Power Meets Portability
The flagship model pairs an Intel Core Ultra 5 processor with up to 20.5 hours of battery life, all packed into an aluminum chassis weighing under 3 pounds. It doesn’t skimp on connectivity either, boasting Gigabit Ethernet, dual Thunderbolt ports, and HDMI, plus a fingerprint reader and MIL-STD construction. This makes it ideal for hybrid workers, frontline teams, and power users alike.
