Reviews for the Acer Chromebook Plus 516 GE CBG516-2H, Core 3 100U

80% Acer Chromebook Plus 516 (2025) Review
Source: Trusted Reviews English
The Acer Chromebook Plus 516 (2025) is a solid Chromebook for those wanting a big-screen option with modest power, solid battery life, and a good port selection. It also provides some clever software. Just watch out for a heavier frame and its more generic looks. Paying more obviously gets you more, with higher-priced models upping the resolution on the screen with a more inspiring and lighter frame, such as with the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus. With this in mind, the Acer Chromebook Plus 516 (2025) still ticks the right boxes if you’re after a competent, affordable Chromebook with the benefit of more screen real estate.
