Acer Chromebook 14, Intel Atom x5-E8000 Quad-Core Processor, 14" HD, 4GB LPDDR3, 32GB eMMC, Protective Sleeve, CB3-431-12K1

The Acer Chromebook 14" really surprised me on how fast and efficient it was and how nice and slim the whole Chromebook really is. It has a very powerful processor and enough memory to do all that I need it to do. I write books and it is nice to take somewhere and type all day and not worry about the battery, for it has a 14 hour life on it. It is very versatile in having more than one app running at a time and able to search at the same time. I really like this Acer Chromebook, and I think you will too.

I was happy to receive my Acer Chromebook (14, Intel Atom x5-E8000 Quad-Core Processor, 14 HD, 4GB LPDDR3, 32GB eMMC, which came with a bonus Protective Sleeve, CB3-431-12K1). This being my first Chromebook, I wasn't sure what to expect. I ended up being pleasantly surprised as it looks and feels just like any other laptop. I love how easy it was to open up the box, install updates and I was using it in minutes. I have been having a great time with it and love how quiet it is. It's the quietest computer I've ever owned.

I was very excited to try this out. I like the packaging and the pouch it comes with to carry it. The start up with simple and easy. The prompts were easy to follow and I was able to set up a new email and login for the computer. The pop up screen was easy to find and I could easily listen to music, look at pictures, go on the internet or other things on this one screen. The accessibility is great for a person who is not extremely computer savvy. The screen is great, very clear. The keyboard was easy to use, it didn't take any pressure to type. The speaker sounds clear and it is actually pretty loud. I hooked my iOS phone to it and was able to back up my photos to it. Now I have my pictures right in there to easily access. Overall it's a great computer for everyday use, keeping documents, music, photos, and apps. It's also very fast.

This computer is very competitively priced, and it seems to work fine so far. The sleek, silver, style, looks very classy and high end. This is super low maintenance, and everything is run through a google account. The set up is simple, you either type in your email information, or you have to sign up for a new Gmail account, there is no exception to this requirement. If you want to use programs, you can open the launcher and add apps through the Google Play Store. It operates on Chrome and connects everything from your emails, to Google Docs, to video conferences, and excel-like sheets. The storage on this unit is not exceptionally large, but that is because Google stores most of your material linked to your email in their cloud. We use this computer for my children's coding apps, which are mostly already formatted to run on Chrome. After a few uses, I have noticed that it does take a short while to turn on and turn off. You do these actions by pressing and holding the power button, there is no close power button on the screen like PC's. If you choose to sleep your computer, you simply close it shut and it automatically goes to sleep. I do believe that these computers are made to simply open and shut while keeping you connected as it opens. If you shut it off, you will need to re-sign into your account upon powering up the computer. Because it is a Chromebook, it has no cd rom drive. I know this is supposed to be the way of the world, but I like having my cd rom for any additional programs that I might like, where I do not have to put in my credit card information in order to purchase an app that doesn't work quite as well as having the program. But, I guess I could just download whatever program I need.

I'm not that big on chrome books. I always felt like why not just get a regular laptop but I really like this chrome book. The aluminum finish is beautiful and easy to clean. It's small and lightweight so it's easy to carry and travel with and it came with its own carrying sleeve. I was surprised at how fast it came on when I pressed the power key and how responsive it is. The screen is 14” so it's a good size. The display is crisp and clear and it can be synced with my Samsung galaxy note 9 as well as google home so I can do almost everything thing from it like send text messages and turn my lights on and off. Set up was easy and quick and once I put in my google info everything synced over. I have to get use to the track pad because I'm still not sure how to make it scroll. The battery life is good. You can have several windows open without this chrome book slowing down. The sound is good and it doesn't make that running fan noise like some laptops. It's a great product.

I am a huge fan of Chromebooks so I am very pleased with this Acer Chromebook 14, Intel Atom x5-E8000 Quad-Core Processor, 14 HD, 4GB LPDDR3, 32GB eMMC. With up to 14 hrs of battery life I am able to use this laptop for hours without stressing that it will run low. I like that Chromebooks come with built in virus protection so I don't have to purchase it and there's automatic updates and backups for protection and peace of mind. I love the 32GB hard drive capacity so I can store many of my photos and videos from my tablet. I use this laptop often and since this is my second Chromebook I can add Google Play Store apps to this one that I can't on my other due to low storage space because of my videos. There's a built-in webcam that I haven't used but nice that it's there. The screen is a full HD IPS display so I have great views of my pictures and videos. I highly recommend this Chromebook from Acer as they have good quality products.

I needed to find chromebooks with good reviews that weren't steep on the wallet. I ran across this Acer and purchased 2. I am very pleased with this purchase. The kids get to complete their school while I currently work from home during this new norm. This is a win-win! It operates fast, no lag time, came packaged well and secured, the case fits perfectly. It didn't have many unnecessary preloaded apps installed. The keyboard and housing isn't flimsy. The display is also pleasant on the eyes, of course that can be adjusted to your liking if it's too bright, etc. I was able to install Family Link on my youngest's chromebook. This keeps an extra layer of comfort knowing what she's doing as I purchased this for schoolwork, not playtime. The only gripe I have is the time it took to ship. My order took close to 2 wks to arrive. Other than that, I just might purchase one for myself.

This thing has great battery life and is super fast. I find it operates more like an Apple product than the typical laptop that I'm used to, so there's been a bit of a learning curve for me. It truly has all that I need for home use. I'm a Google/Android person, so setup of this was crazy easy....just sign in and it does the rest for you! Google docs is great in the event I need to see a spreadsheet or document, so I haven't missed not having the standard office suite on a laptop. I will definitely be recommending this to family and friends who need something for home use!

Love this computer and was at a great price. the style is very slim and lightweight making it easy to carry around and battery life is amazing! I will say if you have never had a chromebook it was pretty complicated trying to figure out where everything is and i had to take the time to play with it. I am pleased with how Walmart delivered on time and kept me updated up until they delivered my computer to my door.

I am a little biased about computer brands - Acer has become my favorite because of reputation and their ComfyView display (anti-glare). While I find my 15.6" model to be easier on my vision (I lost one eye to cancer), it is a bit bulky and a little more cumbersome to move around. That is why I chose to take this Acer Chromebook 14 for a test drive. I refer to this as midsize because at 14" it is certainly bigger than the usual 11.6" models but not quite as big as the Acer Chromebook 15 that I am accustomed to. As with any computer there are some pros and cons. Based on my experience with Acer Chromebooks (I've had 4 in 3 different display sizes), here's my list: Pros: Smaller size, but not too small. The 14" has the feel and weight of a small Chromebook making it more portable and easy in the hand. It has two USB ports and a HDMI port. The LCD ComfyView screen is easy on the eyes with no glare from natural lighting or lamps nearby. The sound quality is really good - the speakers are on the underside of the device. Cons: The 1.04 GHz processor feels a little sluggish compared to my 1.50 GHz processor on the Chromebook 15. I feel a little lag when opening webpages or playing games such as Candy Crush. The games are doable - but it just doesn't feel as smooth. The display is another issue for me - the colors aren't as crisp and the screen can wash out depending on how far you open the lid. I don't experience this with my Chromebook 15 because it has IPS. The power port is on the right side of the laptop, as is the headphone jack. Placement is always subjective - it depends on your workspace as to where it is more convenient to have ports. I am right handed and not at all accustomed to having these ports on the right. It should be noted, this is not touchscreen nor does it have a backlit keyboard. The keys are a nice size and easy to type with. Overall, I would recommend this as it is a brand you can trust and great if you plan on using it on the go. I'm totally in love with the chrome look and feel - there's nothing like a shiny metal Chromebook to make you feel just a bit more classy while you work or surf.
