The Acer Chromebook C740-C4PE is an Acer produced model of the Chromebook laptops. It was released in 2015, with a price tag of $250. It is very similar to the Acer Chromebook C720, however it has a more powerful processor (a Celeron 3205U), slightly enhanced battery life, and the potential for more storages (up to 32GB on an SSD). The C740-C4PE also has 4 GB of ram, coupled with a HD display with a resolution of 1366x768.
The Acer Chromebook C740-C4PE is a very light laptop. This is due to the fact that it is not a very powerful machine, and not a lot of components and/or cooling is needed. Therefore, it comes in at a weight of only 2.87 pounds.
Identification
The Acer Chromebook C740-C4PE can be identified by the SNID and serial number on the label located on the bottom of the device. Acer SNID numbers are 11 or 12 digits and do not contain letters. Acer serial numbers are 22 alpha-numeric characters, and will always use zero and never the letter O. For additional help with identifying your Chromebook, visit the Acer Support page.
The device comes with a brushed metal look to it as well, and it is made out of a sturdy plastic. The C740-C4PE appears very similar to the C720 in terms of looks, however a good way to tell them apart is that only the C740-C4PE has a brushed metal finish to it.
