Acer Chromebook Plus 516 GE (2024) review: a great, if not mind-blowing, refresh

 

The Acer Chromebook Plus 516 GE (2024) still games as well as ever

Excellent display ; Great performance ; Solid keyboard and touchpad ; A host of useful AI tools ; Pretty lightweight

Terrible sound quality ; Pricey for a Chromebook ; Limited availability

The Acer Chromebook Plus 516 GE is a refresh of the first gaming Chromebook, a title I thought to be functionally useless until I tried out the laptop for myself. The new version is a fine upgrade as the specs have all been improved (and doubled in...

Acer Chromebook Plus 516 GE review: for the gamers | Digital Trends

 

The Acer Chromebook Plus 516 GE leverages a surprisingly good display and good enough performance to make a budget gaming laptop that can work for some people.

Very good 16-inch display ; Surprisingly good audio ; RGB keyboard lighting ; Fast enough performance ; Very affordable

Plastic build quality ; Keyboard isn't the best

“The Acer Chromebook Plus 516 GE has a display and audio that makes Nvidia GeForce Now very affordable.”

Acer Chromebook Plus 516 GE Review: A Game-Streaming Laptop

 

This iterative refresh has an excellent 16-inch screen, good performance (for a Chromebook), and great battery life.

Crisp, spacious screen. Excellent for cloud gaming. Impressive performance. Good battery life.

Speakers aren’t great. Steam Beta gaming is hit or miss.

Acer Chromebook 516 GE review: A cloud gaming powerhouse

 

Attractive and rigid design ; Excellent CPU performance ; Plenty of wired and wireless connectivity ; High resolution 1600p display

Mediocre keyboard and touchpad ; Disappointing speakers, microphone ; Display falls behind in contrast, color vibrancy

Fast, handsome, and affordably priced, the Chromebook 516 GE is a great do-it-all laptop that’s also ideal for cloud gaming.

Acer Chromebook Plus 516 GE review: A bit weird, but still great

 

Handsome, durable design ; Large, crisp 16-inch display with 120Hz refresh rate ; Long battery life ; Plenty of connectivity

New Intel Core 5 120U isn’t an upgrade ; Display lacks contrast in dark scenes ; Webcam and microphone disappoint

The Acer Chromebook Plus 516 GE is a good option if you want a big-screen Chromebook.

Acer Chromebook Plus 516 GE (2024) review: Work and play done right

 

Local PC gaming on a Chromebook works much better than you'd think with Acer's new Chromebook Plus 516 GE

Anti-glare screen great for any environment ; Steam access works a treat ; Included ethernet port is welcome

Not especially portable ; Feels slightly hollow ; 16:10 screen ratio doesn't fit most games
