Acer Chromebook 514 Review | Trusted Reviews

 

Light, nice-looking and good value for money

Good value for money ; Slim and light ; Metal chassis

Display quality is not great ; Performance can grind to a halt if overloaded ; Some apps like Spotify won't work

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.

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.
