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

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

As the first Chrome OS device with an NVIDIA Tegra chip, the Acer Chromebook 13 isn't as powerful as promised. Still, it manages to redeem itself with long battery life, a sharp screen, a comfortable keyboard and, most importantly, a fair price....

Probably not. The Acer Chromebook 13 shows the K1 has promise as a Chromebook brain, but the Chromebook 13s screen is really disappointing, and K1 could very well show up in a machine with a better one. In the meantime, the potential of K1 is not a big e...

Abstract: Chromebooks. Depending on your opinion that word either refers to an underpowered, narrowly focused netbook replacement or a saving grace for the many people who choose not to spend over $750 on a suitably portable notebook. However, the Chromebook segmen...
