Acer is expanding its lineup for cloud-first organizations, debuting the new, premium Acer Chromebook Plus Enterprise 714 and announcing immediate availability for the Acer Chromebook Plus Enterprise 514. A key feature for both new models is support for Cameyo, a virtual app delivery (VAD) platform. This is a massive deal for enterprise adoption, as it enables organizations to provide secure, streamed access to all their business-critical applications—including legacy Windows, Linux, and internal apps—directly on the Chromebook Plus devices. Let’s talk details.

The headliner of today’s announcement is the Acer Chromebook Plus Enterprise 714 (CBE794-1/T). This device is positioned as a premium, thin-and-light laptop for high-performance multitasking.
It’s powered by Intel Core Ultra processors and boasts an impressive battery life of up to 20.5 hours. The chassis is a sub-3-pound aluminum build that is also MIL-STD 810H certified for military-grade durability. For professionals who need maximum connectivity, the 714 includes a Gigabit Ethernet port, dual Thunderbolt 4 ports, and an HDMI port. It also features a fingerprint reader for secure, biometric logins.
The Acer Chromebook Plus Enterprise 714 will be available in North America in Q4, with commercial pricing starting at $1,499.99.
