In the Chromebook space, Dell has remained a constant but relatively subtle OEM. While their latest flagship is a welcome addition to the premium Chromebook market, they continue to launch a handful of devices as the market expands with a focus on the educations sector.

The wait is finally over. The top-tier version of the refreshed 14″ Acer Chromebook has arrived at a handful of online sellers and you can now get your hands on the Pentium-powered, 8GB aluminum beauty.
