Our verdict

A basic large screen Chromebook for browsing, schoolwork and streaming, with full HD resolution and current wireless. Memory and storage are small and fixed, so heavy multitasking and offline media libraries are out.

Overview

A kitchen counter or a student desk is the natural home for this Acer Chromebook, which runs ChromeOS on an Intel Celeron processor behind a large full HD screen. Google apps, Android apps from Google Play and cloud storage cover everyday schoolwork and browsing.

Buy it for a big, sharp screen on a simple ChromeOS machine that updates itself and starts fast. The small memory and eMMC storage mean it runs most smoothly with a few tabs open and files kept in the cloud.

Who it's for

Students and families who browse, stream and write in Google Docs get a large screen at a basic level of power. Users who run many apps at once or need Windows software should choose a more capable laptop.
