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).
