Premium metal design
Long battery life
Solid keyboard and trackpad
Great performance for $300
Large full HD screen
Well built
Stylish and compact
Exceptionally fast when equipped with Intel Core i5 processor
Vibrant Gorilla Glass cover allows for corporate styling
Sturdy aluminum chassis
Solid multitasking performance
Strong audio
The inexpensive Acer Chromebook 14's aluminum body is much nicer than the plastic competition. The matte-finish
14-inch full HD IPS display is a great size for work and play
But still keeps this laptop's footprint small enough for commuting
Core i5 processor and 8GB of memory deliver solid performance
It has no SD or microSD card slot for expanding its 32GB of storage. The keyboard isn't backlit and shallow. Power users will want to step up to the Work version of this Chromebook or look elsewhere

32GB of local storage

Less software than Windows-based competitors offer
Celeron CPU relegates performance to Chromebook second-class
Stiff keyboard
No SD card slot
A backlit keyboard would really be nice
Though its omission is understandable
No touchscreen
Lacks SD slot
Mediocre audio
Lack of connectivity options
Slow SD card reader
Dark display
Delicate case surface
Not making full use of performance
Soldered-in memory storage
Larger size somewhat less portable than other models
