According to our laptop expert
Work up to 12 hours using 1 battery with the Acer Chromebook 14 CB3-431-C5K7 laptop. Open your aluminum Chromebook and get started right away, because the Chrome OS operating system will boot your laptop in seconds. All you need is your own Gmail account to use the Chromebook. Chrome OS also protects your Chromebook against viruses. With Google Drive, you can always access your files, as long as you have an internet connection. Chrome OS also installs updates automatically, so a Chromebook will always keep working properly and stay up to date.
Note: Windows applications don't run on a Chromebook. Do you want to use Microsoft Office? Purchase Office 365.

The Acer Chromebook 14 is arguably the best of its kind. Everything you need for a smooth ChromeOS experience, in a premium housing, a beautiful display and all for a reasonable price. The limitations of ChromeOS are really not that bad for me as a student, so I am very satisfied with this device.
Where most Chromebooks look cheap due to a plastic housing, this laptop feels very luxurious due to the metal housing. And that for a fantastic price.
The keyboard and trackpad work well. The travel of the keys is comparable to that of the Macbook Air. The trackpad is precise and works well, but it's a shame you can't zoom like you're used to on your smartphone.
All connections of importance on a mobile laptop are present. An SD card reader is missing, but I don't miss that. With two USB ports, an HDMI port and a headset connection, I won't be short of anything.
The IPS screen is very nice and has good viewing angles. The maximum brightness could have been a little higher. It is also nice that it is a matte display, so you see virtually no reflections.
The operating system is very smooth and simple. The office programs can also be used via the web applications. So I have no problems with productivity programs, because everything can be accessed through the browser. There is also a web application for programs such as Skype. Large PDF files also scroll smoothly. The great thing about ChromeOS is that waiting for startup, updates and virus scanners is no longer necessary. The big disadvantage of the operating system is the limited functionality without an internet connection, but because there is a Wi-Fi connection almost everywhere today, this is almost never a problem in reality.
If you're looking for a Chromebook that has everything a good laptop should offer, and you mainly surf the web, use the office, watch a movie and read some email, this is the best machine of its kind. The no-nonsense design is in line with the no-nonsense approach of ChromeOS. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a Chromebook without the cheap feel of a plastic case.

I bought this Chromebook as a second laptop on the go. It's thin, light and fast enough for the tasks you do on a Chromebook. The full HD screen looks good, especially the natural color reproduction. However, the brightness could have been better, even at full power it looks a bit dim. Contrary to what is stated in the specifications, there is no SD card slot available. This is not important to me since there are two USB 3.0 inputs and a 32 GB SSD while most chromebooks have a 16 GB SSD. I am very happy with the device and I find that I also use it indoors rather than my large Windows laptop.

I really like this laptop because I can do everything I want to do with it. And no, Lightroom does not run on it, although I have found a very nice app (polarr) for daily photo editing that you can also use offline. Soon this chromebook can also handle the android apps.
