Acer Chromebook 15 review

Acer's updated Chromebook 15 is still an awesome do-it-all laptop.

Great battery life ; Zippy performance ; Large 15.6-inch HD screen ; Awesome speaker placement ; Solid overall value at $400

No dedicated video output ; Google Play for Chrome OS has issues ; Some distortion in audio

Acer Chromebook 315

Acer's AMD-powered Chromebook 315 is an affordable 15.6-inch touch-screen model with no glaring faults, but its plastic bulk and just-okay display make clear its budget roots.

Inexpensive. Two USB Type-C and two USB Type-A ports. Above-average audio. Big screen supports touch input.

Chassis is big and heavy. Lackluster performance. Mediocre panel quality.

Bottom Line: Acer's AMD-powered Chromebook 315 is an affordable 15.6-inch touch-screen model with no glaring faults, but its plastic bulk and just-okay display make clear its budget roots.

Acer Chromebook 15 (CB3-532-C47C)

The Acer Chromebook 15 isn't the prettiest chromebook out there, but a 15-inch screen and 15+ hours of battery life for a mere $200 is a tough deal to beat.

Class-leading battery life and 15-inch screen for an an excellent price. Dual-band 802.11ac wireless.

Dowdy design. Screen looks a bit grainy. Key travel is short.

Conclusion If you're looking for a bargain on a chromebook, and you value function over form, it's really hard to do better than the Chromebook 15. You might be giving up style, but in return you'll get a bigger screen and absurdly long battery...

Acer's Chromebook 15 is a $350 computer worth considering

Say the word "Chromebook," and the image that comes to mind for most people is a small, cheap, basic computer. That's exactly what most Chromebooks are. The best Chromebooks you can buy have 11- or...

Big screen ; Great trackpad ; Fast performance ; Long battery life

It’s big and clunky ; Plastic finish feels cheap ; Good luck printing

Acer Chromebook 15 Review

While most Chromebooks aim to be as small and light as possible, the Acer Chromebook 15 delivers a beefy 15.6-inch display with 1080p resolution and packs a CPU good enough to replace a budget Windows laptop as a family PC.

Attractive and durable build ; FHD display ; Excellent sound quality ; Long-lasting battery life ; Great performance for a Chromebook

Bulky for a Chromebook ; Color reproduction is a mixed bag ; With a well-built and attractive design, strong performance and a 1080p IPS display the Acer Chromebook 15 offers a whole lot of value for its $350 price tag.

Acer Chromebook 15 Review: huge screen, tiny price

When it comes to Chromebooks, few set themselves apart. The Pixel is astonishing, but seems easily dismissed by most due to the price tag. At $999, the Pixel is just too much to spend for Chrome OS, and far too much out-of-pocket to suffer its...

Acer Chromebook 15 Review: Bigger Is Better

Chromebooks are slowly creeping into the mainstream and starting to take on the PC market share and for good reason. They're cheap, fairly well built and they're cheap. For the most part Chromebooks have stayed in the under 13″ screen…

Screen size and screen resolution are tops! Intel Core i3 and HD 5500 graphics

A little flex where the screen and body meet. No backlit keyboard

If you're in the market for a Chromebook with a nice big beautiful screen and a good price tag, look no further than the Acer Chromebook 15, it changed my mind about Chromebooks.

Acer Chromebook 315 hands-on: AMD processors and Chrome OS | AndroidPIT

It was at CES 2019 that the Taiwanese manufacturer Acer unveiled its first Chromebook with an AMD processor. Equipped with a 15.6-inch screen and available at a low price, this new Chromebook is sure to seduce! Here are our hands-on impressions.

The Chromebook 315 has great promise. It's comfortable to use, has more than satisfactory performance (at first glance) and an elegant design - Acer's laptop really has everything you need. Its low price will also easily convince users who are not...
