A Chromebook can do a lot of the things that a Microsoft Windows Laptop can do however they normally cost less money. This is a ‘Touch’ version so assuming what you want is available in a Chrome App then this offering may suit your needs.

If the Chromebook 514 were priced lower, the expectations would follow. But, that’s unfortunately not the case. You can get a far more powerful and capable Chromebook for the same price. It’s hard to recommend the 514 over the Chromebook Flip.

Acer Chromebook 514 Review: Stat Sheet Stuffer Disappoints
Source: Chrome Unboxed Archive.org version
This was a tough review. I really, really wanted to like this device. I was pre-disposed to cheering on this Chromebook. But after using it for a bit, I am so underwhelmed across the board that it has become a pretty tough sell for me to recommend this device to anyone at these prices. $499 can get you a great Chrome OS experience right now. There are simply too many great devices on offer in this price range to even remotely consider purchasing the Acer 514.
