Acer Chromebook 514

 

Aluminum-clad and ready for all day off the plug, the Acer Chromebook 514 is a reasonably priced standout on the premium Chromebook stage that's still right-priced for students and budget buyers.

Sharp-looking aluminum design for a budget machine. Excellent battery life. Touch display (as tested) looks great. Comfortable backlit keyboard. Big touchpad.

Processor could use a pick-me-up. Ho-hum speakers.

Bottom Line: Aluminum-clad and ready for all day off the plug, the Acer Chromebook 514 is a reasonably-priced standout on the premium Chromebook stage that's right-priced for students and budget buyers.

Acer Chromebook 514 review: a basic, budget Chromebook suited to students

 

The Acer Chromebook 514 is a good choice for students in particular

14inch HD screen ; Lightweight and portable ; Decent battery life

Disappointing performance ; No fingerprint sensor ; Poor quality webcam

If you're on a tight budget then the Acer Chromebook 514 is ridiculously cheap, but that's not all it has going for it. This laptop is lightweight with a big screen and a sleek silver design. You don't get many different features and it's not very...
