Despite coming in white plastic, the Chromebook 13 somehow ends up looking sleek and minimalist rather than just cheap. This is also one of the more solid Chromebooks I've tested; the frame is stiff with almost no flex to it, and its slim and light design...
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...

I've spent the last three weeks taking six business-oriented Chromebooks through their paces. I started out as a skeptical Windows-rules-them-all kind of guy: I've been using Windows since the early days, and I've rarely strayed from the ghosts of my Wind...

It is hard to come by a laptop at a low price that does not sacrifice quality hardware. There are trade-offs to be made. Even laptops running Windows are not alone in this. When Google launched Chrome OS in 2011, the hardware was pretty bad. It was not un...

The Acer Chromebook 13 is not only the first 13.3-inch model from the maker of the popular 11.6-inch C720 Chromebook and its touch-screen C720P and Core i3 C720-3404 variants. It's the first laptop built around Nvidia's Tegra K1 processor, a combination A...

Acer's Chromebook 13 CB5-311-T0B2 makes an overall good impression. The CPU's performance is more than sufficient for the expected applications of a Chromebook, and ranges on the level of Intel's Bay Trail Celerons. The graphics core has a considerably hi...

But this machine isn't just about the processor. The Acer Chromebook 13 also offers a sleek design, good trackpad and a few different models with wallet-friendly prices that present a pretty solid value as well. Read along into my full review as I break d...
Acer has done what I didn't think was possible — make a Chromebook with an ARM processor in it that I would actually want to use on a regular basis. That's quite a feat considering the heavy workload I expect to put my Chromebook through, and the Acer Chr...

The Acer Chromebook 13 (CB5-311-T9B0) ($299.99 as tested) is on the cutting edge of the Chromebook category, thanks to a new Nvidia Tegra K1 processor, the first Nvidia CPU in a Chrome-based laptop. Acer has been toward the front of the Chromebook trend s...

After years of getting little respect, Chromebooks are finally on the rise (at least in schools), which means every major PC maker is trying to get in on the action. That includes chip makers too, like NVIDIA. Though the company previously shied away from...

Nvidia's Tegra K1 is an absolute blast in an Android tablet and now the Acer Chromebook 13 is slapping it in a laptop body too. The result isn't perfect, but it's a promising look at where Chromebooks could go.Nvidia's Shield tablet was made for playing g...
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...
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...
Probably not. The Acer Chromebook 13 shows the K1 has promise as a Chromebook brain, but the Chromebook 13s 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...
