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.
Pros and cons
- Large full HD IPS screen
- Fast USB-C ports with display output

Performance notes
Speed rests on the dual core Celeron and a small onboard memory pool, which suit browsing, documents and video more than heavy multitasking. ChromeOS leans on Google Drive for storage, and the Wi-Fi card with MU-MIMO helps hold a steady connection.
