Acer was one of the first companies out the gate to announce a 1080p Chromebook with Intel’s fifth-generation chip early last month. Maybe that was a bit too quick: Availability of the Acer Chromebook 15 with latest processors that I had a chance to use isn’t expected until the first week of April, the company tells me. That means if you’ve been holding out for the 15.6-inch Chromebook with newest chip, you’re going to have to wait a little longer. As previously reported, the laptop will be available in multiple configurations with the base model starting at $249.99.
