Acer Chromebook CPE594-2N-K32M 14" WUXGA IPS 120Hz Touch, Kompanio Ultra 910, 12GB/256GB

This is the Arm-based Chromebook in the range, running a MediaTek Kompanio Ultra 910 octa-core processor rather than Intel silicon. The practical consequence is battery life: a 70 Wh cell paired with an Arm chip is a very different proposition from the 53 Wh Intel machines alongside it, and it is why this model exists.

The display is a 14-inch WUXGA IPS touchscreen running at 120 Hz — the only high-refresh panel in this Chromebook range, and noticeably smoother for scrolling and handwriting. Memory is 12 GB of LPDDR5X and storage is 256 GB of UFS, both soldered.

Wireless is Wi-Fi 7 2×2 with Bluetooth 5.0. There is a full-size SD card reader and a 5 MP camera, and the chassis is tested to MIL-STD 810H. It charges over a 100 W USB Type-C adapter. No stylus is supplied. Runs ChromeOS, with a three-year on-site warranty.
