Asustek Computer and Toshiba both have also decided to introduce Chromebooks with Intel's Haswell processors in 2014.

Acer will pioneer all brand vendors to launch its 11.6-inch Chromebook C720P, priced at US$299, in December 2013, the sources indicated.

Asustek will launch Chromebooks in 2014 with the first wave of models to come in 11.6- and 13.3-inch sizes, company CEO Jerry Shen revealed recently. Prices of Asustek's Chromebooks are likely to range US$199-329, indicated the sources.

Toshiba is expected to release its Chromebooks soon, noted the sources, adding that the Japan-based vendor is outsourcing production to Inventec.

Shipments of Chromebooks, including the Chromebook Pixel launched by Google, account for less than 5% of total global notebook shipments currently, the sources estimated.
