The Chromebook market is still in its infancy, but the ecosystem has already proved itself to offer incredible value for money – just look at the £199 Toshiba Chromebook 2 for proof of that. We’ll need to wait to get our hands on a review model before we can say whether Acer’s offering trumps the Toshiba notebook, however.

Acer Chromebook 15 CB3-531: Big and budget (hands-on)
Source: Pocket Lint Archive.org version
Well, we say refinement, but first impressions don't leave us too enthralled. That's the thing about Chromebooks: they're cheap and plasticky, which is the compromise to pay for a £230 laptop (oddly the CB3-531 is $200 in the US, so far cheaper).

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
