Acer Chromebook 14 Review

 Sturdy Aluminum Design
 Superb Display and viewing angles
  Great Audio Quality
  Long Battery Life

 Low quality keyboard
 No SD Card Reader

The screen is not just huge for a Chromebook, it’s also a full HD display with IPS technology (the other model came with 1366×768 for resolution) . Both features make it a  pleasure  to watch lectures or videos and get some work done with it. The viewing angles from the IPS are quite high too: you can up to 170 degrees and still clearly distinguish what you are looking at. Add on top of that its anti glare coating and a good brightness levels, you got yourself one of the best displays Chromebooks can offer even in 2017. As a bonus, even though the speakers are positioned underneath they have good audio quality.

However that’s all the good stuff ends. The performance on this Chromebook is average. Like most Chromebooks it has settled with an Intel Celeron Processor instead of the high tier core m3 and core i3 the expensive Chromebooks have. The RAM and storage capacity aren’t bad however: 4GBRAM and 32GB. Enough for a decent amount of multitasking with multiple browsing tabs and what you’ll pretty much find even on more expensive Chromebooks.

Another downside is the number of ports: This model however has no SD Card Reader(the one with a lower resolution does) so you’ll be stuck with 32GB if you were thinking of plugging an SD Card permanently for extra storage. Lastly, the keyboard quality isn’t the best according to consumers. They are quite harsh to register but at least they do report the trackpad working just fine.

This isn’t a chromebook I would recommend for writing and data input especially in large amounts. However if you are looking for a Chromebook with one of the best displays, an average performance for basic tasks, then this is still a good deal.
