For all its strengths, I’m afraid the answer has to be no. The Aspire One Cloudbook 14 may be cheap, it may have great battery life and a pleasing overall design, but its inadequate processor makes the laptop a chore to use.

100% Acer Aspire One Cloudbook 14 review - a cheap but productive laptop

Still, you need to make some allowances when you're only spending £150, and the Acer Aspire One Cloudbook 14 certainly puts forward a compelling case when you compare it side by side with Dell's Inspiron 11. The Cloudbook 14 also has the edge over the Toshiba Satellite C40-C, as it manages to match the C40-C's build quality and battery life while also costing £50 less - and that's before you add in the extra value provided by a year's free subscription to Office 365 Personal and the 1TB OneDrive storage.

The Acer Aspire One Cloudbook 14 is a relatively average budget laptop. Its one extraordinary feature is its almost 14 hours of battery life. The Cloudbook 14 successfully leverages cloud and online services for day-to-day use, though its modest feature set and overall performance are commensurate with its low price tag. The Dell Inspiron 17 5000 Series Non-Touch has a larger screen, better performance, and is ultimately a lot more PC for a list price that's $200 higher. As such, it remains our Editors' Choice for budget desktop-replacement laptops.

Acer Aspire One Cloudbook 14 Review

Only budget buyers who must run a couple of Windows programs that don’t need a lot of storage or horsepower should consider the Acer Aspire One Cloudbook 14. It comes with too many compromises to recommend it. The performance will frustrate anyone who wants to multi-task. The keyboard and trackpad make office use difficult.

Likewise, the Aspire One Cloudbook 14’s twin speakers are downward-firing and located under the front corners of the chassis. They get louder than we expected, but they deliver subpar clarity and minimal bass. Given their location on the bottom of the chassis, the Cloudbook 14 relies on a solid surface off of which to project sound; placing it on a soft surface like a bed or your lap greatly reduces the impact of the audio output.

Review: Acer Aspire One Cloudbook Windows 10 laptop
Source: Slashgear Archive.org version
The Acer Aspire One Cloudbook 14 is a nifty notebook, but one that will only appeal to consumers who understand what they're getting. If you're looking for something in the Chromebook price range but with the extra functionality that comes with Windows, the Aspire One Cloudbook will be right up your alley. If you're looking for a more substantial laptop, you'll find likely find this Acer model too slow and trimmed down.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

Acer: In 1976, the company was founded in Taiwan under the name Multitech and was renamed Acer or Acer Group in 1987. The product range includes, for example, laptops, tablets, smartphones, desktops, monitors, TVs and computer peripherals. Since 2007, the group has merged with Gateway Inc. and Packard Bell, which also market their own laptop product lines.

Acer computers are designed for a variety of purposes, including ultrabooks for mobile use, gaming laptops for gamers, affordable options for everyday tasks, and 2-in-1 convertible laptops for versatility. Acer's product portfolio also includes tablets that offer portable computing and multimedia capabilities.

72.5%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
