Acer Chromebook 15

This laptop's big aspirations are undermined by software bugs and weak hardware.

Acer Chromebook 15 (CB5-571-C09S)

Acer's Chromebook 15 is the largest Chromebook yet, but this 15-inch, Web-connected laptop doesn't offer much else to distinguish it from the pack.

Large, 15.6-inch display with full HD resolution. Full-size keyboard and touchpad. High-quality sound. Long battery life in testing.

Sparse port selection.

Conclusion The Acer Chromebook 15 (CB5-571-C09S) may be the largest model ever, but when you boil it down, that's really all it has to offer. Otherwise, it offers a standard Chromebook experience, just with a larger display and chassis. If you've been...

This Chromebook lets you see the big picture

Acer's Chromebook 15 has a sweet 15.6-inch full HD screen -- a first for the category -- but keeps a budget-friendly price tag.

The Acer Chromebook 15 is available with an excellent 15.6-inch 1080p IPS display at a budget-friendly price. Battery life is very good as is performance from the fifth-gen Intel Celeron processor.

Larger size and weight make it a little less travel-friendly than other Chromebooks. The white casing gets dirty easily and it's not the most attractive Chromebook we've laid eyes on.

If your one gripe about Chromebooks is the small screen sizes, the Acer Chromebook 15 is the solution and it's a very nice solution at that.

Acer Chromebook 15 (white, 32GB)

For however you might feel about Google's Chrome OS and Chromebooks, there's no denying that they are popular alternatives to Windows and Mac computers mainly because they're inexpensive, relatively secure and what can be done within the confines of...

Acer Chromebook 15 Review: Bigger Is Better

Acer aimed to change my mind about Chromebooks with their Acer Chromebook 15. Let's see if they did, this is the Acer Chromebook 15 review.

The Chromebook 15 design is nothing to write home about, it’s pretty standard plain Jane laptop design. The white model that I was provided has a textured body so it’s pretty easy to grip and gives it a little personality. So let’s just get this out of...

When size matters, Acer Chromebook 15 is big [Review]

I am not a fan of overly-large laptops, but if I were to buy one, Acer's 15.6-inch monster would be among my top choices. The Chromebook packs in lots of value, which first and foremost is 1080p resolution to match the large screen, a benefit that is...

Acer Chromebook 15 review

Chrome OS comes to the big screen

Absolutely radiant display ; Woven, textured finish ; All-day battery life

Sudden crashes ; Tinny but serviceable speakers

The Acer Chromebook 15 asks if you need a big machine to just run a Chrome browser. and I say 'oh, yes.'

Acer Chromebook 15 preview: Large and in charge

The Acer Chromebook 15 is the perfect example of how Chromebooks have progressed over recent years. No longer does the word 'Chromebook' dictate an ultra-budget

The Acer Chromebook 15 might be large, but it's certainly in charge. As an almost-portable desktop replacement proposition, the combination of its decent screen, stacks of ports, and premium design ensure it'll be a king of productivity.

Acer Chromebook 15 is big and Googley (hands-on) - Pocket-lint

Acer has continued its push into the world of Chromebook with yet another model, this time a rather large 15.6-inch offering for those that want to enjoy
