One of the few Chromebooks with a 1080p screen, Long battery life, Runs quietly, stays cool, Comfortable keyboard and trackpad, Competitive price
Performance not as strong as promised, Limited viewing angles, Build quality feels cheap next to some rival devices, Heavy compared to some competing models
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....

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
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

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
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
One of the nicer-looking and better-performing Chrome OS systems, the 13-inch Acer Chromebook adds some zip by ditching Intel for an Nvidia processor, but also hits a few issues with popular Chrome apps....

Abstract: The latter is only TN-based, meaning vertical viewing angles aren't the best, but the extra resolution sure does make a difference. Sound is also excellent, by far providing the best speakers of the bunch. Like the Toshiba Chromebook 2 it feels significan...

Large 13-inch display with 1,920-by-1,080 resolution, New Nvidia Tegra K1 promises WebGL and Unity 5 3D capability, Good-looking design
White plastic chassis shows every scuff and smudge, Laggy media streaming, Few Chrome games take advantage of new capabilities
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...
