The editors liked
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
Can handle all your daily web-browsing and emailing well enough
But that won't seize up if you try to go to a webpage that has s
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

Large 13-inch display with 1,920-by-1,080 resolution, New Nvidia Tegra K1 promises WebGL and Unity 5 3D capability, Good-looking design
White plastic chassis shows every scuff and smudge, Laggy media streaming, Few Chrome games take advantage of new capabilities
The Acer Chromebook 13 is on the cutting edge, with an Nvidia Tegra K1 processor, advanced gaming support, and a 13-inch full HD display. But even with all these advancements, it doesn't seem much better than most of the competition...

Like other Chromebooks, offline functionality is extremely limited. The large screen lacks touch input, and the ARM processor presents some compatibility issues, even with online Chrome apps
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....
Thin and light design, Sharp 1080p screen, Promising performance
Some keyboard flex, Only one color option
