Thin and light design
Sharp 1080p screen
Promising performance
The K1's performance on WebGL applications is really promising. The idea of having a laptop computer that's relatively cheap

The Acer Chromebook has a slim design
A high-res 13-inch screen
And a fast Nvidia K1 processor for a graphics and battery boost over other Chromebooks
The editors didn't like
Some keyboard flex
Only one color option
That matte screen. 1080p is great and all but the shoddy matte finish really kills it for me. The Samsung Chromebook 2's glossy 1080p is just so much better in almost every scenario. Yeah
The Chromebook 13 is pretty impervious to glare
But at the cost o
Like other Chromebooks
Offline functionality is extremely limited. The large screen lacks touch input
And the ARM processor presents some compatibility issues
Acer knows how to make good, solid, reliable Chromebooks, and this model is no exception. Performance was always decent, the screen size is a welcome addition, and the long battery life makes it a great option for travelling. It's just a shame that the di...
Is the Acer Chromebook 13 the best Chromebook on the market? That's a tough one. I can't claim to have tried them all, but I'll admit I was impressed. So is the 1920 x 1080 version the model to get? For my eyes, the extra pixels make the menu and tab text...

One of the nicer-looking and better-performing Chrome OS systems, the 13-inch Acer Chromebook adds some zip by ditching Intel for an Nvidia processor, but also hits a few issues with popular Chrome apps....

Probably not. The Acer Chromebook 13 shows the K1 has promise as a Chromebook brain, but the Chromebook 13's screen is really disappointing, and K1 could very well show up in a machine with a better one. In the meantime, the potential of K1 is not a big e...

Thin and light design, Sharp 1080p screen, Promising performance
Some keyboard flex, Only one color option
During a private demo session with Nvidia, I was shown just what the Tegra K1 can do. Sure, I felt a bit of flex from the keyboard under the pressure of my fingers, but what were you expecting for a sub-$400 laptop? The trackpad was also a delight to use ...
Abstract: Acer has come out swinging with the Chromebook 13, an Nvidia Tegra K1-powered beast that is easily one of the most powerful Chromebooks out there — and yet it still only costs $299.While Chromebooks began as cheaper, underpowered laptops, they've begun to...

Thin, solid design with minimalist lines makes this a great looking Chromebook. The highresolution screen, fanless design, and long battery life are all best in class
The great looks and long battery life don't make up for poor performance. The occasionally incompatible app makes this a slightly crippled machine even by Chrome OS standards
