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

This is sort of a combined rating of this Chromebook and Chromium OS, as Im not sure if the bugs are present across all models or just this one in particular. The items that I pin to the tray frequently disappear, and occasionally I get logged out of all of my accounts for no apparent reason. Hardware-wise, this has a great battery and feels sturdy thanks to the aluminum case. The front edge doesnt really align perfectly on mine, so theres a gap between the top and bottom shells which is disappointing. Theres also no SD card slot in this model, but I knew that when I bought it.

I use my Chromebook everyday for a variety of searches and researchers, without any problems. My Chromebook has preformed better than any of my computers.

Ive owned this chromebook for 1.5 years. As other reviewers have pointed out, the powercord doesnt stay in the decide due to the way the interface is made. So if you have it on any unsteady surface (like a bed) it may stop charging with a little movement. It is also very heavy due to the metal casing. Overall, I was fairly satisfied with this device until it fell off my bed (about 2 feet) on to the carpet. Due to poor powercord interface, it bent accepting part of the power supply (the part inside) and now can no longer be charged. I contacted Acer to schedule a repair of the power inlet. They said their minimum charge is $150. At that price, no reason to repair it. I have an Asus that lasted a little over 6 years, was lighter, and had a much better powercord interace. I wont be buying another Acer, mainly due to the excessive repair fee.

Perfect for the kids- mine use at school so effortless transition. I have been using it more than expected. Boots up & shuts down far quicker than PC, no maintenance.

Great Computer after my old macbook died on me. I spent plenty of hours reviewing this computer and it def was the right purchase for me. The gold is a perfect and the feel to it is high end. It looks very similar to a macbook air and is very thin. Speakers could be a lil louder but i have bluetooth speakers connected to it most of the time. For a web based computer that is able to save your work internally with the option to save it on google drive, there is plenty of room for documents. Great for school and work and very simple to use. People underestimate these computers and dont realize that this is sometimes all you really need. Will def be an acer chromebook fan from now on. For $300 there is nothing to complain about. Keyboard is nothing to complain about and neither is the backlight for this computer. If you are comparing this to another computer around the same price just stop and buy the acer chromebook 14 and you will not regret it at all. I actually wrote a review for this and I never really do so but this deserved one.

This is not a system you would buy for gaming, However, it is perfect for daily use in my business to send emails, check news, shop online etc.

So I wanted a new laptop to replace my 11-year-old laptop that is so outdated it cant even load modern websites, and since I pretty much only use(d) my laptop for the web, I figured a Chromebook would be ideal. It would also save me several hundred dollars relative to a Windows machine or Macbook.

This came without a charger!!!

This is my first chromebook, thus far it has exceeded my expectations. This is a perfect machine to use at work for simple web browsing and word processing tasks, and I really like that its not going to break the bank if it gets stolen or otherwise damaged. It feels well built, better than I expected given the price. The screen is good as well. Setup was a breeze.

Good, but came a little dented. Unit works well, with an occasional Wifi hiccup. Very quick machine.
