Reviews for the Acer Chromebook 514 CB514-1WT-57YM

80% Acer Chromebook 514 review: Undercover powerhouse
Source: Android Central English
The internal upgrades for the Acer Chromebook 514 this generation are small, but they are significant. Once combined with the June 2029 Auto Update Expiration date, this is a Chromebook that should last you for the rest of the decade if you decide to grab it this fall. Thunderbolt 4 means that hopefully you shouldn't have as much docking station difficulty as normal USB-C Chromebooks, and the 11th Generation processors are ready to power whatever workload you throw at it.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

Acer: In 1976, the company was founded in Taiwan under the name Multitech and was renamed Acer or Acer Group in 1987. The product range includes, for example, laptops, tablets, smartphones, desktops, monitors, TVs and computer peripherals. Since 2007, the group has merged with Gateway Inc. and Packard Bell, which also market their own laptop product lines.

Acer computers are designed for a variety of purposes, including ultrabooks for mobile use, gaming laptops for gamers, affordable options for everyday tasks, and 2-in-1 convertible laptops for versatility. Acer's product portfolio also includes tablets that offer portable computing and multimedia capabilities.


80%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
