80% Acer Chromebook 317 review: Is the world’s first 17.3-inch Chromebook worth it?
Source: Laptop Mag
There are other Chrome OS devices you can buy that are within the same price range as the Acer Chromebook 317. For example, the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2 (currently $449 at Amazon) is also a record-setter — it’s the world’s first Chrome OS laptop with a QLED display. As such, it’s brighter and more colorful than its Acer counterpart. However, it’s stingy with ports, its battery life is shorter and it looks puny compared to the Chromebook 317’s giant footprint. If you’ve been sick and tired of dealing with Chromebooks that do not accommodate large hands, the Chromebook 317 is what you’ve been waiting for. The display is massive, the keyboard is roomy and the touchpad is expansive. You don’t have to worry about feeling cramped nor restricted ever again. Plus, the Chromebook 317 offers decent battery life with a runtime of 9 hours and 30 minutes. Overall, the Chromebook 317 is geared toward a niche consumer base. It won’t earn a spot on our best Chromebooks page, but we’ll let it sit at the best laptops under $1,000 table.

100% Acer Chromebook 317 Review – A Really Big Deal In More Ways Than One
Source: Android Headlines
Whether or not the touch version of the Acer Chromebook 317 is going to be worth the money isn’t even really a question. Or at least that’s the case if you don’t need a top-tier gaming machine this Chromebook has more than enough power. Especially since Chrome OS itself is so lightweight. And, best of all, with a display that boasts a FullHD resolution at a size that’s unprecedented for its category. For all of that, this Chrome OS laptop from Acer is worth its asking price and then some. At under $500, the Acer Chromebook 317 (CB317-1HT-P5PF) sets a high bar for any future large-size Chromebooks. It’s a bargain that shouldn’t be overlooked.
