Published on 09/23/2026 at 01:01 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Acer Chromebook Plus 515 CBE595-2-50RS brings a 15.6-inch screen, a 10-core Intel Core 5 120U processor, and ChromeOS to a full-size Chromebook chassis. The exact US model is listed as CBE595-2-50RS with part number NX.KW3AA.002.
Core Hardware and Display
The laptop uses Intel's Core 5 120U at 1.40 GHz with 10 cores, 16GB of LPDDR5X memory, and a 256GB PCIe NVMe SSD, according to Acer's US specifications. The configuration has enough memory for browser-heavy work, web applications, and multiple open documents without relying on a smaller entry-level Chromebook setup.
Its matte IPS LCD measures 15.6 inches diagonally and runs at 1920 by 1080 resolution with a 60 Hz refresh rate. Acer lists 45% NTSC color coverage, so the panel favors workspace area and glare control over wide-gamut color work.
Ports, Wireless, and Security
Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.1 or later, one HDMI output, one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port, and two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C ports. The model also includes a 1920 by 1080 webcam, two speakers, a fingerprint reader, a camera shutter, and a discrete H1 Trusted Platform Module.
The non-touch configuration weighs 3.70 pounds and measures 14.2 inches wide, 9.4 inches deep, and 0.79 inches high. Acer lists a lithium-ion battery with a maximum run time of 10 hours and a 65-watt power supply, while the package includes the Chromebook, battery, AC adapter, and power cord.
Price and Category Context
CDW lists the CBE595-2-50RS at $811.99 with the same 15.6-inch display, Core 5 120U processor, 16GB memory, and 256GB storage. Acer's US page identifies Acer America Corporation at 3250 Olcott Street, Santa Clara, California 95054.
Who It Fits Best
The Acer Chromebook Plus 515 CBE595-2-50RS is a large-screen ChromeOS notebook for users who need substantial browser multitasking, a full port selection, and more memory than the $399.99 Core i3 launch configuration reviewed by Tom's Guide. The 16GB RAM and 256GB SSD are the meaningful differences, while the 3.70-pound weight and 15.6-inch format make it less suited to frequent travel.
