Review: Perfect combination of price and quality! - A month or so ago, the screen on my Toshiba Chrome 2 was broken (no fault of the computer, just someone slamming it shut in anger), necessitating its replacement. This Acer is the third computer that I bought in replacement, so I feel I'm in a pretty good position to judge where it stands relative to what else it out there right now. I'm a Chrome OS early adopter, having bought one of the early Chromebox's that were given out at the Google I/O off of eBay, and having bought my Toshiba Chromebook a couple of years ago. I'm somewhat sold on Chrome, the feature I like best about them is that the continuous updating and cleaning up of the OS. My Chromebox is about four years old and it works better now than when I bought it, and that's with zero attention paid to updating/upgrading/virus protection/etc. ever. It "just works" and it doesn't stop just working. So my first choice was the SUS C300SA-DS02 Chromebook 13.3" HD, which sells for about $225 on desertcart. It wasn't a horrible computer, but it looks and feels very cheap and underpowered. So I sent it back and instead ordered an ASUS ZenBook UX305UA 13.3-inch. It was of course much nicer, and I was looking forward to putting Windows Office on it so that I could get some more work functionality out of it. But I was amazed to learn that ASUS Windows laptops, apparently all of them, lock the function keys in such a way that you have to simultaneously press the function key in order to perform their non-function functions (i.e. if you press "F12" by itself you get the developer's code window rather than volume up), and it cannot be changed. It's hardwired into the computer, not even opening the BIOS can change it. That was a plain non-starter for me, I'm constantly fiddling with volume and brightness controls on my laptops, so having that as a two-hand operation . . . no way. So . . . reconsidering also the extremely marginal functionality of native Windows Office as opposed to Google Docs/Office Online, I decided to go back to another Chromebook, but this time the Acer Chromebook 14. Boy am I glad I did! This computer looks and feels like a $1000 laptop. It's a beautiful, solid all-metal device, with a nice, wide great looking screen. The trackpad works well, and the internals seem to be very quick, I haven't noticed any stuttering on anything as of yet. My only quibble might be with the keyboard, which is a bit shallow for my tastes, but it's decent enough. At $300 even, you'd be crazy to settle for one of the $200+ Chromebook when a vastly better machine can be had for just a little bit more. If you're looking for a computer in the range of this size and price and functionality, I would recommend this one.
Review: Way better than expected - I received this device on Friday, as promised. I fully charged during first use and despite the fact I've been running it on and off to write, to watch videos, to surf the internet, and to check my email, it's Sunday evening and I have over 71% battery life remaining. So confident in the product, I brought it out with me without bringing the power cord. I love this Chromebook. The screen is wonderful and though I believed the brightness might be an issue, I was able to write outside without any trouble. It was a bright, sunny day here today. I opened a doc and wrote for about twenty minutes and I didn't even have to bump up the brightness, which is set at about 55-60%. Since I was outside and away from a wireless signal, I turned off the wi-fi at this time. I've been leaving the wireless on and haven't plugged in the Chromebook since it reach a full charge on Friday. I never had a MacBook Air and I'm not in IT (though I had majored in Information Systems for a few semesters before changing over to Organizational Management.) That being said, I've seen a few reviews on here from people who have had MacBooks. I understand this is a Chromebook and only costs $299 but I feel this is a tremendous value. I can't see how it actually compares to the MacBook but since it costs considerably less, I don't have any expectations that this is a superior device. I have had no complaints, I've seen no imperfections in my device, no creaking or flexing anywhere, it has a solid aluminum construction, it runs silent as it is fanless (which means I can type in bed while my wife sleeps), and I find it has an excellent keyboard. Would I have liked a back-lit keyboard? Yes. Do I regret my decision? Not a chance and I don't think that omission warrants a star deduction, not even a half star. I knew what I was getting when I ordered it and I'm pleased to say, it's even better than expected. It runs quickly without experiencing lag (I've had up to 8 tabs open, with Netflix playing in one of the tabs and Google+ open in another.) I don't typically have that many tabs open at one time so if it can handle that, I'm confident it will work great for my use. I'm ready to start removing the stickers from the unit and will throw away the box it came in when I get back home, as I don't plan on returning it. I plan on using this Chromebook daily and give my enthusiastic recommendation! Oh, by the way, I thought I'd miss the SD card slot but really I hardly ever used it and since it has two USB 3.0 ports, if I need to transfer data to my Chromebook, I can always use a flash (thumb) drive, an external hard drive, or share data through Google Drive from another computer. Guess not having that slot doesn't impact me as much as I thought. If you need this slot, or prefer a backlit keyboard, I would suggest you buy something else. For everyone else, I honestly think you'll love it as much as I do.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ First Impressions
*by S***N on December 22, 2017*

Updated 3/24/2018 (four months later): Great laptop despite many product and service limitations of Google itself. I am currently chatting with an Acer rep for a warranty repair, as I have had issues with a flickering or outright black screen. This is 99% my fault, as I played hour-long meditation videos non-stop a LOT. I will update this review again with info on how my experience with Acer customer service was. Be sure to get another outside warranty just to be on the safe side. FIRST REVIEW: First day, first two/three hours with product: The hardware is very sleek and elegant for the price! The all-metal build feels sturdy, isn't prone to fingerprints (as far as I can tell. I watched one of my fingerprints actually disappear on the body before my eyes.), the keys have nice travel, the screen is great, and I can find no defects yet! I bought mine brand new so I would hope nothing is wrong with the hardware (or software)! Since it's metal, it's prone to grow very cold if you leave it be in a cold house/during the winter time. But it's metal, so it's to be expected and it's a lot better alternative to an overheating device! There's no fan so you won't have to worry about that anyway. As for Chrome OS, I had a Chromebook once before (from another manufacturer whose name also starts with an 'A') sometime in 2016 and the experience was less than pleasant, mostly due to the hardware rather than Chrome OS. But actually NOW I have noticed some things in the OS I don't like compared to the 2016 version I'd had! After an update or two your Acer CB14 WILL update to allow the Android-based apps Google Play Store to be installed on it....But it's faulty and has a long way to go before even the stock Google apps are optimized for Chromebooks! The Play Store app itself has more than a few design and functionality flaws that make it difficult for any consumers who is familiar with the Android Store to ignore or get used to. It's hard for me to explain and I do not want to make along first review, but they are there and hopefully will be updated in future update packs. I recently spoke with an online buddy who has the Acer CB15 who also noticed the lack of optimization Chrome OS's Play Store has... A lot of the stock shortcuts (for Chrome [Browser], GMail, Docs, YouTube, etc.) are still just hyperlink shortcuts (they take you to a website instead of opening an app) rather than the actual apps, and this is really disappointing, but once you update your CB you can just install the Android app versions, "unpin" the stock hyperlink shortcuts and go from there. I'll try to be a bit more lenient with this device in my future updates, because access to the Play Store on Chrome OS is still very new, but believe me when I say I am grateful I'm not one of the people shelling out over $300 (and up to about $1700) for a Chromebook because it is truly not worth it. They have a ways to go before those price tags are warranted in any way.
