Reviews for the Acer Chromebook Spin 311 CP311-3H-K2RJ
The Spin 311 offers an IPS touchscreen display, silent operation, and long battery runtimes. Acer relies on an ARM processor for the Chromebook convertible. The total package is available for about 260 Euros (~$260) at the time of testing.

The Acer Chromebook Spin 311 is another sub-$300 silver Chromebook in a market swimming with them. That makes it hard to justify, especially compared to something like the Lenovo Duet, which does what the Spin 311 does better in many areas, and is even cheaper. The saving grace is the Spin 311’s keyboard, which is truly excellent. It’s not as good as the best laptop keyboards, but the fact that an 11.6-inch Chromebook is even in the discussion should speak volumes. The battery life is solid, too, and although performance isn’t great, it’s enough to handle light, day-to-day tasks.

As a budget-minded Chromebook, the newest version of the Spin 311 may be light on ports, but the MediaTek processor gives it truly all-day battery life while still having just enough power for schoolwork, light work, and casual computing. Since it lacks a microSD slot, I highly recommend buying the 64GB model.

The Acer Chromebook Spin 311 is a fine little machine. It's not a top performer, but it's not setting out to be. It delivers on its promise of solid everyday performance and killer battery life. If you need something simple to use around the house or give the kids, the Spin 311 makes a lot of sense.

At the end of the day, we are a little disappointed with this notebook. Yep, you have everything you need from this tablet-replacement, but when compared to its predecessor – the Chromebook Spin 311 (CP311-2H), we got a lot lower performance – both in the CPU and the GPU department. Of course, if you mainly use Docs and Spreadsheets, this shouldn’t really bother you. But if you value speed and low latency, then you might want to divert from this unit.
