The editors liked
The K1's performance on WebGL applications is really promising. The idea of having a laptop computer that's relatively cheap
Can handle all your daily web-browsing and emailing well enough
But that won't seize up if you try to go to a webpage that has s
Simple and attractive design
Comfy keyboard
Glare-resistant full HD screen

080 resolution. New Nvidia Tegra K1 promises WebGL and Unity 5 3D capability. Good-looking design.
Stylish design
Two USB 3.0 ports and 802.11ac Wi-Fi
Pretty good keyboard
The Acer Chromebook has a slim design
A high-res 13-inch screen
And a fast Nvidia K1 processor for a graphics and battery boost over other Chromebooks
Thin
Solid design with minimalist lines makes this a great looking Chromebook. The highresolution screen
Fanless design
And long battery life are all best in class
Solid build
Great keyboard
One of the few Chromebooks with a 1080p screen
Runs quietly
Stays cool
Comfortable keyboard and trackpad
Competitive price
Silent operation
Barely heats up
Very good battery runtimes
Matte screen
The editors didn't like
That matte screen. 1080p is great and all but the shoddy matte finish really kills it for me. The Samsung Chromebook 2's glossy 1080p is just so much better in almost every scenario. Yeah
The Chromebook 13 is pretty impervious to glare
But at the cost o
Lid smudges easily
Small app selection
White plastic chassis shows every scuff and smudge. Laggy media streaming. Few Chrome games take advantage of new capabilities
Slightly pale and dim display
Less than blazing performance
Like other Chromebooks
Offline functionality is extremely limited. The large screen lacks touch input
And the ARM processor presents some compatibility issues
Even with online Chrome apps
The great looks and long battery life don't make up for poor performance. The occasionally incompatible app makes this a slightly crippled machine even by Chrome OS standards
Slow performance
Low quality display
Crackly speakers
Performance not as strong as promised
Limited viewing angles
Build quality feels cheap next to some rival devices
Abstract: Acer has come out swinging with the Chromebook 13, an Nvidia Tegra K1-powered beast that is easily one of the most powerful Chromebooks out there — and yet it still only costs $299.While Chromebooks began as cheaper, underpowered laptops, they've begun to...

Abstract: I've spent the last three weeks taking six business-oriented Chromebooks through their paces. I started out as a skeptical Windows-rules-them-all kind of guy: I've been using Windows since the early days, and I've rarely strayed from the ghosts of my Wind...

Abstract: It is hard to come by a laptop at a low price that does not sacrifice quality hardware. There are trade-offs to be made. Even laptops running Windows are not alone in this. When Google launched Chrome OS in 2011, the hardware was pretty bad. It was not un...

Slightly pale and dim display, Less than blazing performance
Nvidia's Tegra K1 processor promises great visuals, mostly in titles that don't exist yet. While you wait, the Acer Chromebook 13 that contains it is a handsome if not stellar alternative to smaller-screened models. Read More…...
Acer has done what I didn't think was possible — make a Chromebook with an ARM processor in it that I would actually want to use on a regular basis. That's quite a feat considering the heavy workload I expect to put my Chromebook through, and the Acer Chr...
Silent operation, Barely heats up, Very good battery runtimes, Matte screen
Viewing angle dependent screen
Acer's Chromebook 13 CB5-311-T0B2 makes an overall good impression. The CPU's performance is more than sufficient for the expected applications of a Chromebook, and ranges on the level of Intel's Bay Trail Celerons. The graphics core has a considerably hi...

The Acer Chromebook 13 is on the cutting edge, with an Nvidia Tegra K1 processor, advanced gaming support, and a 13-inch full HD display. But even with all these advancements, it doesn't seem much better than most of the competition....
