Acer Chromebook 315, Intel Celeron N4000, 15.6" Full HD IPS Touch Display, 4GB LPDDR4, 32GB eMMC, Gigabit WiFi, Google Chrome, CB315-3HT-C296

I got this computer by accident - I wasn't expecting such a wide machine, but the overall experience has been great. I bought this in 2021, and it's worked well since purchase. I update it regularly and have used it for most of my life's computing (I even got a job using this thing - so Office 365 is no longer a must have).I will say it doesn't handle Zoom calls all that well, but I've started grad school last year and it ran the virtual desktop I needed to access STATA beautifully. A second monitor hook up is definitely possible and I have an ANKER dock which I use with my work computer and this computer without an issue (that includes a headset, keyboard/mouse combo, and external monitor). Overall - for ~$330, you really can't go wrong.

I purchased this as a replacement for a Acer Chromebook 15 I used for 3 years. The old Acer Chromebook powers off now whenever you insert a micro sd card. Then it needs to stay off for like 6 hours before you can use it again without it turning off after 15 seconds. I was hesitant about purchasing another Acer however after looking at many other manufacturers offerings those displays were small and blurry by comparison. I did get three years use out of the old one without all of the update hassle and the old one had really great battery life.The new Acer 315 has a better keyboard ( with the DELETE key that was missing on the Acer 15) with a nice tactile feel. The IPS display is great with a really wide viewing angle. The only thing I really miss using the the new Acer is I no longer have a back illuminated keyboard. That it turns out was a bigger deal than I thought. Videos play without problem. My Ethernet adapter is supported natively by the Acer and the Acer is one of the few models available with a display port out over USB C. Great for Nasa imagery that my Smart TV (that is no longer updated) refuses to display. So the Acer Chromebook is sort of pricey but has better portability, battery life, and a display that none of my Windows Laptops can compete with. It does make for a great internet PC.

Big clear screen, it works, and was cheap. I'm happy with it.

This is my second Acer Chromebook. Was very happy with my first Chromebook but wanted to upgrade to a larger screen. The 15.6" screen is perfect. Super easy setup. When you log into your Google account it automatically transfers most of the settings from a previous Chromebook to the new one. The battery life is an impressive 9-10 hours. My wife and I have a Google Chromecast dongle on our TV so it is very easy to cast videos from Youtube and Amazon Prime Video.My only complaint is that it is heavier than my previous Chromebook. We travel quite a bit so I will probably take my older Chromebook simply for its smaller size and weight. I guess that is the price you pay for a larger screen and battery. Overall an excellent laptop.

We had a rough start, but I chalk it up to Fed Ex mix up more than anything. The product is perfect, the color is brilliant, very light on my lap I have a 15 inch screen and the set up was less than 3 minutes as I just merged my computers so it was one and done. So easy and chromebook I wouldn't have it any other way, safety is always their number on concern and why i choose it. Thank you again.

I didn't even know I had a touch screen. I am stunned. This lap top is great except the battery has a lower capacity. I just got it & turned it on. All from my old lap top was magically here. I love it so far.

After 1 year of vey light use, broken and will not power on. Go with something better.

I'm very happy with this Chromebook. It has a nice HD display, it browses and streams smoothly, and it has two USC-C ports. One allows charging, the other allows HDMI (4K) output to the TV. Having both means I can charge and stream to the TV at the same time, which is essential to me.
