Balance portability, performance, and durability
The Chromebook Plus Enterprise 714 is powered by an Intel Core Ultra 5 processor, and the 514 offers configurations up to the Intel Core 7 series.
Both systems use Intel graphics, support up to 16GB of LPDDR5X memory, and include PCIe Gen4 solid-state storage.
Acer clearly hopes these machines can challenge traditional mobile workstations in performance, but ChromeOS remains a limiting factor for heavy users of the software.
Acer Chromebook Plus Enterprise 714 has a slim, lightweight aluminum chassis built to military-grade standards, measuring approximately 17 mm thick and weighing approximately 1.32 kg.
The device features a 14-inch WUXGA display with optional touch support and a rugged aluminum body that weighs less than 3 pounds, and also features MIL-STD 810H certification for impact resistance and a reinforced hinge designed for extended use.
The QHD webcam with “temporal noise reduction” and triple microphone array is meant to improve clarity during virtual meetings.
The Chromebook Plus Enterprise 514 variant maintains the same 14-inch form factor, features an anti-glare coating, and supports Full HD or QHD webcams.

It’s slightly thicker at around 19mm, but maintains the same focus on durability and portability.
Battery durability is a highlight, with Acer quoting up to 20.5 hours for the 714 and 17 hours for the 514.
Both use Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.3 for connectivity, and higher-end models include multiple USB ports, HDMI, and Ethernet.
Acer’s Earthion mission has inspired builds like the EPEAT Gold certified, Energy Star compliant, OceanGlass touchpad made from ocean-bonded plastic.
ChromeOS management enables centralized deployment, and Cameyo integration allows users to run Windows and Linux applications virtually.
A fingerprint reader and webcam shutter enhance privacy, and a ChromeOS environment provides 24-hour administrative control.
These are some of the most powerful Chromebooks made by Acer, but convincing IT teams to adopt them can be difficult as many businesses are still locked into a Windows-based ecosystem that supports a wide range of legacy software.
IT decision makers may view these as supplementary devices rather than full workstation replacements.
Acer’s new hardware offers impressive sophistication, but its success will depend on whether enterprises truly embrace ChromeOS beyond lightweight, web-centric roles.
