Acer has unveiled a pair of new Chromebooks in New York today. Both devices have anodized aluminum frames and STD-810G. The style and feature set of the Chromebook 714 (above) and 715 are clearly aimed at businesses. The larger of the two even sports an honest-to-goodness number pad.

The Chromebook 714 and 715 are distinct products, but they do have some things in common beyond the aluminum construction. Both laptops include dual USB 3.1 Type-C ports and fingerprint readers, the latter being an important feature for businesses. They also have 8th gen Intel processors—Pentium, Celeron, and Core i3/i5 are all available at different price points.

The Chromebook 714 has a 14-inch 1080p display, and the 715 steps up to 15.6-inches at 1080p. Both computers come in touchscreen and non-touch versions. The larger display on the 715 provides enough space for a full number pad, a first for an Acer Chromebook.  The low-end 714 will sell for $499, and the 715 will start at $549. Those both have 32GB of storage, and thankfully, 8GB of RAM. Acer didn't specify which CPU comes in the base SKU (or even which specific CPU models it's using), but we assume it'll be the Pentium Gold. The devices go on sale in July.
