In this video, we’ll take a more in-depth look at the all-new Acer Chromebook 14. With an all-aluminum build, unique 14-inch design, and $299 price tag, could this become the budget Chromebook to beat? Let’s take a look!

      Video should be running fine now. Sorry about that!

    I have an Acer Chromebook 14 that I purchased new several months ago, and I have to say I somewhat disagree with the slant of your review. I have owned and used many chromebooks since Google first released the CR-48 – and I have to say the Acer Chromebook 14 is probably the very best $299 computer I have ever purchased. When I first started using this chromebook I was somewhat disappointed with the video resolution, as text appeared much too small for me to use on a daily basis. I thereafter switched to the Beta Channel – and within a couple of updates the display resolution on my Acer Chromebook 14 improved 1,000%!! Afterwards text appeared larger, clearer and more defined…almost like I was using a $700+ computing device. Serious. I get somewhere between 8400 and 8600 octane scores – plus I’m able to get 45mb download speeds on my 45mb AT&T router. My experience with this chromebook has been A++, and I do think it is worth every penny of the $299 I spent. I highly recommend it as a mid-range chromebook.

      Interestingly enough, I have the gold model in the office right now and am re-reviewing it. I was way too hard on it. Also, Chrome OS has been tweaked a ton since that review and Braswell processors do way better now.

      Keep an eye out for a new review soon!
