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

Lightweight and turns on very quickly.

bought as a gift for son, now grand daughter may get one.

Absolutely worth the hours of research (and debates). Coming from a person who has very high end equipment (for work), this device is very nice. The size (14) and weight (equal to my X1 Carbon) are perfect to carry around. Feels strong/sturdy. Looks (screen) fantastic. Battery life is impressive (had low expectations). Can handle the 10+ tabs of Chrome while working. Would absolutely recommend to friends and family...at a good price too. No CONS at this point...

Bought this on a boxing day sale and have been very happy with the Chromebook. This is the only 14 chromebook I was able to find anywhere near this price with 1920 x 1080 resolution. Most inexpensive 14 chromebooks have the same resolution as the 11 models (1366X768), and as a result you do not gain any screen real estate, everything is just bigger (too big). The aluminum chassis also has a really nice feel and looks much higher quality than the plastic ones I have had before. Overall it has a relatively thin profile (though maybe a bit on the heavy side). Battery life seems to be as advertised. I have been really happy with this model after 6 weeks of use.

Finally--a Chromebook with decent specs AND premium build quality AND excellent battery life AND a very reasonable price! There are Chromebooks with faster processors/better screens/more bells and whistles, but they are usually either compromised by cheap, plastic-y casings and dreadful keyboards OR cost as much if not more than rather nice Windows PCs. If you use your laptop mostly to surf the web and do word processing, and/or youre heavily embedded in the Google ecosystem (esp. Google Drive), then youll probably enjoy using this thing. I dont yet know if this machine is built to last (although it seems to be so), but at this price point, it doesnt have to run for years and years to be well worth the value.

SO FAR SO GOOD. MY first experience with the CLOUD based machines. Runs fast and gets on the Internet really easy and with fast downloads.

easy to access, set up took less than minutes.,stronger built than my other chromebooks.

Great laptop generally speaking. If you want it for watching videos or movies, or ofimatic issues, is more than enough, but you shouldnt expect the same performance as a 1000$ computer. The only problem I see is the compatibility of Chrome OS with certain type of applications, since you might not be able to use the majority of them.

I am writing this review on my new Chromebook right now! I love how this Chromebook looks and handles tabs! It is also super light to carry, and the keyboard is really comfortable to type on. I was researching so many different Chromebooks, and I am glad I purchased this one!

Finally arrived. I actually ordered from another vendor because it was $30 cheaper. Very nice little laptop. Ive never used the ChromeOS before, but Im actually very impressed. It manages to do a heck of a lot through the browser. Being a longtime windows user I found myself trying to do stuff I couldnt. Ill eventually learn that its simply an internet appliance, nothing more. The screen is very nice, smokes my HP laptop. The case is slick. It feels like it costs a lot more. I cant believe that they couldnt throw in an extra few $s to backlight the screen. Id pay $50 more for that. Its not a deal breaker, but it prevents this beautiful device from being perfect. UPS didnt deliver until after 9 p.m. so I unboxed this in the dark of my living room. Fired it up and find you cant see the screen. I was aware of this before I ordered, but didnt think it would be that big of a deal. Its not that big of an issue to return the device. If you can live without the backlight, this is the lappy for you. If you cannot (like me), the pluses will probably overwhelm this omission.
