Reviews for the Acer TravelMate B114-21-42BG

Acer TravelMate B1 (B114-21) review – is Windows 10 S up to the task?
Source: Laptop Media
Additionally, this device lasts quite a lot on battery power – we got 11 hours and 48 minutes of Web browsing and 8 hours and a half of video playback. Although there is a good amount of ports here, as well as very good upgradability, given the price point, we can’t recommend this laptop over the ChromeBook 314 (C933). It is the display and the poor CPU performance that let the TravelMate B1 (B114-21) down (as well as the Windows 10 S and its limitations).
