Archive.org versionAll told, the Acer Chromebook 14 delivers a superb mix of portability, usability, and high-end appeal at a terrific price. Yes, the CPU is less powerful than what others offer, but for social-media shenanigans, light work in Google Docs, and Web-based play, with this Chromebook we’re supremely happy with the long battery life and cost savings we get in exchange.

Archive.org versionThe standard pricing of $299 is already a steal, but it can be found discounted and refurbished left and right. For that amount of money, I simply can’t recommend this Chromebook enough. From a holistic experience standpoint, Acer has nailed it: possibly creating 2016’s best overall Chromebook experience.

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.
