Acer Chromebook 14, Aluminum, 14-inch Full HD, Intel Celeron N3160, 4GB LPDDR3, 32GB, Chrome, CB3-431-C5FM

How times change... Chromebooks to me used to mean paying about $200 for a decent pad that supported 90%+ of my not work related computing activities. And we still have many such Chromebooks in our house and we are still very happy with them but, it turns out, Acer managed for an extra 50% more dollars to make what I would call a high end Chromebook. It is, in turns out, good enough for one of our college-bound kids to make it his main computer. So, let me explain why I believe that this Chromebook is worth its high price.

Love it..but wish audio was better

Great little chromebook, just be sure you have great vision as the screen size is small and text hard to read for me. This was a gift for my daughter, and she has no problems.

I mainly use the computer to browse the Internet. I found the functionality of used to be very enjoyable. I would preferred to have a larger hard drive however the solid-state drive is very efficient.

This computer is fast! I use it in school and it turns on instantly and it extremely lightweight. The price was great and doesnt come with annoying bloatware. The display is beautiful and classy. Few things: Make sure you have a newer printer with google cloud print because if you have a classic wifi printer it will ruin your day trying to figure out how to print. Also chromebook is not good for editing photos. I had hoped there would be apps for photo editing but there really isnt anything. I suggest having a desktop for everything chromebook cannot do. In my opinion this is the best laptop for basic work and entertainment.

Started with problems straight out of the box. Freezes with red lines across it, froze five times the first afternoon. Next day during a video froze and just kept looping one section as it froze, and then froze and made a horrible loud scratching noise. NOT HAPPY, I need this computer for school since my Mac needed work on the trackpad after owning it for 5 years. Completely aggravated, sending this crap back as soon as I hear from them.

Great quality, fast, works as designed. A lot nicer than most other Chromebook on the market.

Cant give it 5 stars yet as I have only had it a month but really liking it so far.

Everything about it is fine. But the keyboard stinks. The keys habe almost no travel so it is very easy for a key to not register.

Completely satisfied with this chromebook. The screen is bright and the resolution is quite satisfactory for 14 inch screen. Speakers, touchpad and keyboard are also fine.
