The computer is 30 per cent thinner than the previous model,
weighing just 1.3kg, and comes fitted with an anti-glare display.
It can also resume from sleep mode instantly thanks to a 16 GB
Solid State Drive, reducing the time people waste waiting for computers to
boot.
Acer's device debuts just days after HP unveiled there own new
Chromebook which claims to be "one of the lightest laptops on the
market".
Both computers are aimed at the budget end of the market
carrying pricetags of less than $300 (£188), with Acer saying theis laptop is
aimed at "families and students".
The Acer C720 has an 11.6-inch high definition screen, an Intel
Celeron 2955U processor and eight and a half-hour battery life.
HP Chromebook 11 has a similar-sized screen, an Samsung Exynos
5250 processor and a battery that will last six hours.
John Miedema, Acer Europe's director product marketing, called
the new model a "significant step forward" and said the light-weight
design meant it was "portable enough for anywhere use".
Acer's Chromebook will go on sale in November, while HP'sversion is already in UK stores. Both run on a Google operating system.
