Acer Chromebook Plus 514 Review

The Acer Chromebook Plus 514 is a solid all-round Chromebook with nippy performance, good looks and a marvellous port selection.

Stylish, modern looks ; Solid port selection ; Nippy performance

Less endurance than competitors ; Middling display

The Acer Chromebook Plus 514 is a solid all-round Chromebook with nippy performance, good looks and a marvellous port selection. Its display isn’t the best we’ve tested, yet this Chromebook remains a solid choice at a reasonable price.

Acer Chromebook Plus 514 review: going beyond the Chromebook basics

Acer's Chromebook Plus performs well in most areas, without really excelling

Compact and durable design ; Good performance for most tasks ; Plenty of on-board ports

Battery life could be better ; High-end games can drop frames ; No biometric login options

A solid, decent performer, with the Chromebook Plus label attached that ensures a certain level of quality. While it can't match the premium-level Chromebooks out there, the Acer Chromebook Plus 514 offers great value for money for office work and...

Acer Chromebook Plus CB514-3H

(Rating Hidden)

The Acer CB514-3H Chromebook Plus is neither top of the range nor bargain basement. It instead mixes a middling affordable price with eye-catching specs such as its AMD Ryzen 5 processor, 256GB solid-state drive and a Full HD display. So is this...

Acer Chromebook Plus 514 Review

Ultra-affordable ; Excellent battery life ; Chromebook Plus features enhanced with AI ; Sturdy design with plenty of ports ; Capable touch display

Small storage capacity in most models ; Underwhelming performance ; Keyboard isn't backlit

As budget Chromebooks go, the Acer Chromebook Plus 514 is an appealing "Now with AI" contender, but its lagging performance and minimal feature set offset the low price.

No keyboard backlight ; Lots of flex on the keyboard, touchpad ; Slower 5Gbps USB-C ports

Expert review by : Ian Evenden (creativebloq.com)

We've tested it and the Acer Chromebook Plus 514 has more power (for a Chromebook)

It's a more powerful Chromebook for everyday computing.

Compact Chromebook ; Excellent keyboard ; Decent endurance

ChromeOS limitations ; Screen ‘only’ 1080p ; Small speakers

Chromebooks have a reputation as low-power devices tied to online services, and to an extent that’s still true, in that you’ll get the best from one if you sign into Google’s cloud offerings and use web apps. However, the new range of Chromebook Plus...
