Acer launched its first gaming Chromebook Tuesday, with an RGB gaming keyboard, 120-Hz in-plane switching display and access to over 1,000 games. The 516G ($649) has a 12th-generation Intel processor and supports the highest performance tier of Nvidia’s GeForce Now game-streaming service, which is included in a three-month free trial, along with Amazon Luna. DTS audio plays through two upfiring and two downfiring speakers, the company said. Battery life is given as nine hours.
