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

This is the first time Ive purchased a laptop for personal use. I finally settled on a Chromebook because I have a desktop system that handles the heavier computing applications (adobe suite, editing, pdf file creations).

I love this Chromebook. It has a very solid feel and is better quality than most Chromebooks Ive used (never tried a Pixel). Its certainly the nicest of the 10 or so Ive purchased for my company. And while nobody makes better laptops that Apple, the feel is very similar to a Macbook Air. My only disappointment is that it doesnt charge with or have a USB-C port, but thats my fault for not reading the description more closely. I just assumed it would since its a newer model. 5 stars for this one.

I am really frustrated with this product. I purchased it for a classmate who has no access to the internet at her home. I hoped that she could use this computer at school and then work offline on homework. I cant figure out how to make offline an option for Google.docs--it wont let us change the option to work offline. Trying to get access at our University has been difficult because for some reason the secure network option is impossible to log in to. When we login in to the non-secure wireless option (which we dont want to do because we dont want to risk having her password hi-jacked), the computer says its too slow to download Microsoft Office 365. Frustrating! So far, this has not been a good option for my friend and the school said they cant help her set it up for secure internet Feeling like I wasted my money and should have gone with a Windows product.

Beautiful design! Super sleek and light weight. Screen quality is perfect and matte so no annoying glare!

Easy to use, light and good battery. Our employees love it.

I love this chromebook! Its excellent. Does everything I need and after an hour of streaming Netflix it doesnt even get warm. Thats how efficient the processor is. Great build quality. I recommend this to everyone.

The Acer Chromebook 14 packs a lot of value into a small package. For some background: our household has a couple Macbook Pros and a decent gaming computer. Even with the higher end laptops, this could definitely replace the 13 Macbook Pro for us (which is primarily used for web browsing) at a fraction of the cost.

I dont have any technical comments to add, but I love this computer. It turns on and is ready to go in an instant, is fast and responsive, and holds its charge really well while using it. I use it mostly for internet searches, writing, and games. If I had to say something negative, Id say it losses its charge faster than youd expect while asleep, so youd want to power it down if youre not going to use it for a while to preserve the battery.

This gets one star because it turns on most of the time. This is by far the worst piece of hardware I have ever used. Dont buy this. Under any circumstances. Dont even buy it for someone you hate. Normally I have great success with Acer products, but this is a paperweight. FIrst, the space bar only has a central sensors, so if you type fast and hit the edge, it will not register. If I stop actively correcting this issue, mysentencesstartlooking likethis. Second, laggy AF. Thanks for the HDMI out, seeing as the machine cant handle outputting any sort of moving image onto a tv without it grinding to a stand still. Want to open more than ten tabs in chrome? Sorry, its just too much for this machine. Cant seem to right click with the touch pad, but oh, dont worry, it comes with a mouse - which in my case only worked for a week. Awesome. I purchased this as an xmas present for my husband and only now am I finding out it is trash. I see why he hasnt been using it. Surprised he hasnt asked for a divorce. Also, be aware this machine can not run anything outside a browser, I was aware of this, but some others might not be. Just dont buy this. It would be better to draw a picture of this machine on a piece of paper and then use your imagination to read emails and watch funny cat videos. WAY LESS FRUSTRATING.
