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....
Thin and light design, Sharp 1080p screen, Promising performance
Some keyboard flex, Only one color option
For Nvidia to enter the Chromebook race was initially surprising, but made more sense when I considered where its flagship SoC already is. And after getting some brief time with the Acer Chromebook 13, this seems like the next logical step for the catego...

Abstract: '); //-->Chromebook EvolutionLast fall I made the jump to a Chromebook from Google. At the time, the cheap Windows laptops were about $399 and when comparing to a $219 machine, there was really no comparison. I picked up a Samsung built unit that feature...
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...
Acer knows how to make good, solid, reliable Chromebooks, and this model is no exception. Performance was always decent, the screen size is a welcome addition, and the long battery life makes it a great option for travelling. It's just a shame that the di...
Is the Acer Chromebook 13 the best Chromebook on the market? That's a tough one. I can't claim to have tried them all, but I'll admit I was impressed. So is the 1920 x 1080 version the model to get? For my eyes, the extra pixels make the menu and tab text...

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
Probably not. The Acer Chromebook 13 shows the K1 has promise as a Chromebook brain, but the Chromebook 13's 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...

Thin and light design, Sharp 1080p screen, Promising performance
Some keyboard flex, Only one color option
During a private demo session with Nvidia, I was shown just what the Tegra K1 can do. Sure, I felt a bit of flex from the keyboard under the pressure of my fingers, but what were you expecting for a sub-$400 laptop? The trackpad was also a delight to use ...
