Acer Chromebook 314, Intel Celeron N4000, 14" Full HD Display, 4GB LPDDR4, 64GB eMMC, Gigabit WiFi, Google Chrome, CB314-1H-C884

This is the longest-lasting laptop I've ever had and it's seen some stuff. My cat likes to jump/walk on it, so the screen shell is broken and it's been dropped once or twice, but it's still very much functional! I love the keyboard and the simplicity of Chrome OS - it helped me get through grad school and is a great computer for general use. The battery life is excellent and it charges quickly. The color is also gorgeous.

I've had this 314 a few weeks now and find everything about it a joy. I ordered through Amazon US instead of Amazon Canada and got a better price--much better--than getting it in Canada. I did have a US gift card. On the first day, there was a slight screen flickering, and was about to return it but filled out a complaint form and sent it to Chrome--the flickering stopped--and hasn't returned. Just stopped. Feels so good to be free of Microsoft but use it sparingly when others need a doc in Word. None of those irritating Windows 10 updates.The Full HD screen 1080 p is good but not as good as my Dell laptop. But overall it's as good and lighter and nicer to type with as my backlit Dell. I thought I would miss that feature but have not. I'm not into gaming but demand good visuals and audio for music and TV watching. This 14" screen gives me as much clarity and enjoyment as any 56" smart TV. The battery is a beast. Will it last?

Anyone looking at Chromebooks these days, and trying to choose one, is in for quite the ride. So many to choose from, and at so many price points and feature sets.This is my first adventure into a Chromebook, and I did so because it looks like the OS is pretty mature now days, and manufacturers are putting together designs with great feature sets at very aggressive prices.Anyway, this is the initial Chromebook I chose to start my adventure with, precisely because it offered the correct blend of features and pricing. I was tempted to go straight into a Pixel-Go.. but heard repeated reports of weak chassis and breaking hinges. So I thought.. hey.. go with a lower end unit initially because that will give you true view of the adaptability and power of Chrome OS.This unit fired up right out of the box, with no issues, and did all it's configuration and automatic updates within 10 minutes of power on. Very simple, very smooth.One thing that led me to this model and brand of Chromebook was Acers has put a great set of I/O connections in the design. You get two USB-C, two USB A 3.1s, the typical audio jack, and frankly that is about all I ever expect to need on a Chromebook.It was important for me to find a Chromebook design that was truly fanless (ie: self cooled), and the N4000 processor makes this easy and efficient. I plant to use this machine in a variety of locations where dust, lint, etc is troublesome for most laptops with fansKeyboard response is smooth and comfortable.Unit is light weight, and for a 14 inch display, very respectable physical dimensions. Chassis feels strong and rugged.Display is fabulous, being a full 1080P display, with plenty of brightness and contrast.The unit comes with ~ 15gb of the 64 used for the OS and other files right out of the box.It is fast, and responsive, and of course it runs the Chrome browser extremely well so that little Celeron N4000 series processor is working nicely. Given that in the laptop space these days.. the processor is likely the most expensive component... going with the N4000 instead of a i3 variant processor helps notably reduce cost/price.Battery life is superb. I ran a test last night.. leaving it on with the display active and Chrome open on an active web page and after 8.5 hours, it still reported 6 more hours of battery left. Of course with more activity, more current and less battery life, but this test overnight gives me a great initial baseline.There are still things about Chrome OS that can and will be improved, but this is true regardless of which machine you may choose.Time will tell how many years it will last, but at this price point it really is a disposable recyclable unit when the time comes. But right out of the box, I am extremely pleased with my purchase.

I got this for college for cheap and love it. I have had some slight issue since I can not download or run certain programs, (word,steam,etc.) HOWEVER, I have been rough on this computer for years and only had to bring it to a tech once (it got sat on and screen would not work, paid 20$ to fix it). Other than that it is perfect. For a frequent apple user it is easy to get comfortable with and is a reliable computer. Will buy again.

I just received my Acer Chromebook a few days ago and, currently I’m still navigating my way through. My current computer is a very old, outdated laptop. Since, I haven’t had much experience with the Chromebook so far it’s fabulous! The set up was easy, log in with my gmail account and I was good to go. The battery life is impressive, I have not charged my Chromebook since the initial charge three days ago. ( I do power off my device when not in use). It’s a great computer for the price, less than $300. I recommend the Acer Chromebook for anyone using it for on line banking, shopping, and email. But, there’s so much more I will be exploring!

I purchased this because I am tired of laptops that run Windows crashing two to three years after purchase. I read a review on this Chromebook where the user said it's a perfect computer if you don't have much to do with it. And that description fits me perfectly. It is a great computer for watching Netflix, checking email, doing basic online and word processing stuff. Also, it is lighting quick on startup. It's almost hard to believe I put up with Windows for so long. This computer is very user friendly, I wish I would have purchased one sooner. Great laptop overall, I can't see a reason why I'd ever go back to Windows.

Received the item and it does NOT have a slot for a Micro SD card. Computer works fine, but all of the pictures and specs are misleading as it not included on this model.
