Reviews for the Acer Chromebook Plus 515 CBE595, Core 3 100U
Source: Laptop Mag
The Acer Chromebook Plus Enterprise 515 is a pretty expensive Chromebook. While it is more reasonably priced than most business laptops, it is expensive for a Chrome device featuring a budget Intel processor. While you do get a solid amount of battery life and performance out of the Enterprise thanks to that Intel Core 3 100U processor, the Enterprise isn’t breaking any performance or battery life benchmarks. And that makes it hard to justify the $700+ price tag, no matter how useful the webcam and ports can be. While increased IT deployment and security features are helpful for large businesses, you can download Chrome Enterprise to any laptop or Chromebook. So if your office offers a bring-your-own-device policy and you want a Chromebook, you’re probably better off going for the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus instead because you get a far nicer display, longer battery life, better performance, and a better overall Chrome device.

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.

70%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
