The 10-point  touch display allows customers to interact naturally with the device, using  gestures such as swipe, tap and pinch to zoom. This enhances the experience  with apps, websites, Google Docs, games and more to make Chrome even more  intuitive and personal. In addition, the 1366x768 resolution keeps websites, images and  video crisp and clear.

The highly acclaimed Acer C720 Chromebook  line has received numerous awards and accolades this fall for its performance,  battery life, and value. The line includes models for consumers as well as  business and education customers.

Like the rest of the new C720  line, the new Acer C720P-2600 touchscreen model is powered by an Intel Celeron 2955U processor based on the  Intel Haswell micro-architecture, so it delivers fast performance and excellent  multi-tasking such as running multiple tabs and apps.
