A standout Chrome OS laptop
Source: Expert Reviews
Archive.org version
Acer’s latest stab at the Chromebook game is a bit of a mixed bag. Its metal-clad chassis is excellent, the keyboard is great, and for a sub £200 device, you’re getting superb build quality. The display, however, is a big let-down, as is the lack of SD card slot and limited internal storage allocation.

Acer Chromebook 14 for Work review
Source: Techradar Archive.org version
Finally, the 14 for Work not only has to compete with other Chromebooks, but all portable enterprise devices as well– and there are plenty of equally priced Windows laptops on the market with 1,080p screens and Core i5 processors (and loads of internal storage). In this sea of already-trusted options, a newcomer like the Acer Chromebook 14 for Work may struggle to find a home.

The Acer Chromebook 14 has a 14-inch 1080p HD IPS screen, premium-feeling aluminum construction, a quad-core processor, better-than-average system memory and storage, good connectivity, and a sweet $300 price tag to top it off. Its only drawbacks are a lack of SD card expansion and a slightly stiff keyboard. We think this chromebook is close to the ideal for the category, and a viable alternative to a "traditional" Windows or Mac laptop with a $500 or higher price tag.

Acer’s Chromebook 14 is about look and feel. The aluminum shell and high-resolution display do a lot to separate it from its lower-cost cousins and give you a better experience. You’re already paying a little more just for those two perks. It’d cost you even more to get better performance and features, but for mainstream users, the Chromebook 14 represents a fairly sweet spot.

The Acer Chromebook 14 could be an unequivocal winner. It has the looks. It has rock solid build quality. It has a satisfactory screen, keyboard, and touchpad. But, intermittent video playback issues, even on the lightweight Chrome OS, holds this Chromebook back. And, that's really too bad, because Acer was so close to downright nailing it.

Availability in the UK hasn’t yet been announced, but based on the US price of $249, the Chromebook 14 will cost somewhere in the region of £220 in the UK for the base, non-Full-HD model. Its chances? Pretty good, I’d say. Build quality is solid and if the Full HD screen makes it to the UK, the Chromebook 14 will be one of the best budget Chromebooks out there.

However, users can’t install popular third-party software from Microsoft, Adobe, Apple and others. If you can’t run it in the Chrome browser on a Mac or Windows computer, then it won’t run on a Chromebook. That’s about to change. If you’re reading this after Fall 2016, then you probably can now install Android apps on a Chromebook. This will open ChromeOS to a whole new world of excellent productivity, gaming and entertainment apps. Until that happens, ChromeOS has a narrow appeal to people who can live inside their browser 100% of the time.

Acer Chromebook 14 CP5-471-312N
The Acer Chromebook 14 for Work is a Chromebook for those who mean business. This is apparent as it comes with a solid battery life of 12-hours thereby assuring power users of longer productivity without the need for charging. Acer has certainly put in much effort in securing the robustness of this Chromebook. Acer claims that its chassis "can handle up to 60 kg of downward force and drops from heights of 45 cm". It is also MIL-STD-810G certified, which means it can withstand extreme temperatures, humidity, vibration, rain, sand, and dust. Similar certification is found in commercial business laptops such as Dell’s Latitude series and Toshiba's Toughbook series. In addition, the form factor is appealing with a size of 33.02 x 22.51 x 2.29 cm (13 x 8.9 x 0.9 inch) and a weight of 1.45 kg (3.20 lb). It is crafted beautifully with Vibrant Corning Gorilla Glass encased top covers which in some way makes it look like a Lenovo Thinkpad. With a minimum order, customers may customize their top covers to include their organization’s corporate identity or other stylized graphics. The Acer Chromebook 14 for Work is powered by the latest 6th Gen Intel Core i3 processors, thereby making it one of the fastest Chromebooks in the market. Graphics are rendered by Intel HD Graphics 400 with 8 GB LPDDR3 memory. It also comes with 32 GB flash memory, which isn't much. However, its strong integration with Google's cloud system, 'Google Drive', justifies this number. It is fitted with a 14-inch Full HD display with IPS technology. Equipped with Acer’s Comfyview, its screen minimizes background glare and reflectivity for more comfortable viewing. The 14” display on a 13” chassis is achieved with a narrow bezel design, something that is also seen on Dell's XPS 13 and XPS 15 series. However it is not a touch-screen display. Output to high-resolution displays is made possible via Full USB 3.1 Type-C. With its 88 degree wide angle HD webcam supporting High Dynamic Range (HDR), clearer and more natural images are captured with improved color. The dual-array digital microphone facilitates seamless Google Hangouts. Networking includes both WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity. The wireless MIMO 2x2 802.11ac allows faster data transfer rates of up to three times. The connectivity includes a USB Type-C port, two USB 3.0 ports, an HDMI port and a headphone/microphone jack. There is also an SD card reader for expanding the Chromebook 14's memory. The Acer Chromebook 14 for Work comes with a full-sized, backlit keyboard, which is spill-resistant, as well as a spacious touchpad. Price-wise, it is steeper than average Chromebooks in the market, yet this is justifiable considering its high performance specs. In all, professionals will truly profit from working on Google Chrome’s ecosystem. It is a good choice for people who mean serious business and have very good and stable internet connections at all times as the OS itself depends very much on its connection.

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.

Acer Chromebook 14 review: Cheap at twice the price
Source: It Pro Archive.org version
We have some serious issues with the screen, and it's never going to win any prizes for its speed, but we're willing to overlook these based on its exceptionally low price. For just under £200 all-in, you've got a serviceable (if not stunning) everyday machine, which makes it excellent value. If you need to refresh your laptop on a budget, you could do an awful lot worse.

Acer Chromebook 14 review: Premium styling, long battery life and a big screen make this a tempting Chromebook
Source: Tech Advisor Archive.org version
There's a lot to like about the Acer, including it's smart design, larger screen size, and impressively long battery life. These are offset by a few less than desirable components. The display is adequate at best, the keyboard is also average, and performance feels hampered by the low memory allocation. It's a solid machine, but the compromises may be too much for some.

As such, Acer’s Chromebook 14 leaves me with mixed feelings. Its metal-clad chassis is excellent, the keyboard comfortable, and you’re getting superb build quality. It feels like a grown-up computer in the way that other Chromebooks – such as its chief rival, the HP Chromebook 14 – simply don’t.

Acer Chromebook 14 review
Source: Talk Android Archive.org version
Acer mostly succeeded with the Chromebook 14. It’s slim, light, and affordable. What’s not to love? Even the design makes you question if there’s some type of catch. The aluminum allow body is stunning and luxurious. You’re getting a surprising deal at $299 as that price generally gets you to a plastic body with a recycled design. But, for as much as we can applaud Acer’s Chromebook 14 for its design, we have to point out the display’s shortcomings. If the screen you look at for hours at a time is very important to you, you’ll need to continue shopping. However, it’s not an awful display. You just expect something better for the price.

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.

On balance, this isn’t a bad Chromebook for the money. It’s usable and, while not exactly speedy, is fast enough for simple, everyday tasks. Yet we keep coming back to that underwhelming screen and the feeling that this would have been a much better option with a bit more oomph. If budgets are tight, you might consider it, but there’s not enough here for this Chromebook to stand out.

Acer’s Chromebook 314 is one of the best budget laptops out there thanks to its attractive price, good build quality and port selection, and exemplary battery life. The biggest weak point here is undoubtedly the screen, with the low resolution and flat colours falling way short of laptops with Full HD IPS displays. And while performance is decent for the price, it does mean you’re restricted to basic tasks. But with all that being said, you’re unlikely to find a better laptop for the price. If you want a machine with a Full HD IPS panel, the functionality of Windows and more powerful hardware, you’ll be required to pay a significant premium over the 314’s price.

The Acer Chromebook 314 is a return to the principles that made Chromebooks so appealing to many people when they first arrived. You won’t find expensive displays, quad-core processors or touchscreens here, but what you have is a cheap device with excellent battery life that can help kids do their homework, families organise their lives, and pretty much all the basics that most people want most of the time. It’s also lightweight and acts like a proper laptop rather than some weird hybrid. Old-school, with modern aesthetics and performance.

Pentium N4200: An Apollo Lake family, quad-core, ultra-low-power processor (SoC) that saw the light of day in 2016. Its four CPU cores run at 1.1 GHz to 2.5 GHz; these are not Hyper-Threading-enabled meaning there are no additional threads. This chip has a fairly competent integrated graphics solution, the Intel HD Graphics 505, and eats very little (~6 W). The Pentium N4200 is based on the Goldmont CPU microarchitecture that came to replace Silvermont (2013), bringing with it several welcome improvements. The CPU is Secure Boot-compatible; technically, it will have no issue running 64-bit Windows 11. The average N4200 in our database competes with the Core i5-3339Y, a low-power SoC launched in 2013, in multi-thread performance.
Intel Gemini Lake:
Celeron N4000: Low power dual-core SoC from the Gemini Lake series for designed for afforable laptops. Runs at 1.1 GHz to 2.6 GHz and integrates a DirectX 12 capable graphics adapter.

14.00:
14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact.
In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers.
