Acer Chromebook Plus 514 Review

 

As budget Chromebooks go, the Acer Chromebook Plus 514 is an appealing "Now with AI" contender, but its lagging performance and minimal feature set offset the low price.

Acer Chromebook Plus 514 review: It doesn’t skimp on storage

 

Attractive design for the price ; Enjoyable keyboard ; Lots of connectivity, including USB-C ; 8GB of RAM and spacious 512GB hard drive

Mediocre processor performance ; Display is often too dim ; Weak speakers, webcam ; Small touchpad
