Acer Chromebook 314 (CB314-4H-C2UW) Short Review

Specifications - 14 Inch Full HD IPS anti-glare display, Intel N100 Processor, Intel UHD Graphics Xe 24EUs graphics, 4GB LPDDR5 RAM, 64GB eMMC storage, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C ports, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, a MicroSD card reader, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.1, HD Webcam and DTS Audio technology.

Build - Sturdy build made with recycled materials. A hard plastic casing for low weight with better build quality. Not that durable but can withstand small falls. But be careful.

Display - 14 Inch Full HD anti-glare display for better outdoor visibility. For a chromebook, Full HD display is good spec to get. Best for students.

Processor - Intel N100 processor can perform very well even with above-medium intensive applications. As this is a chromebook, this processor is more than enough..

Graphics - Intel UHD Graphics Xe 24EUs is more for display purposes. As this is a chromebook, playing games is not recommended. Can play low graphic chrome games.

RAM - 4GB of RAM is sufficient for this chromebook. RAM is expandable up to 8GB.

Storage - 64GB eMMC storage is low for students. But if you store everything in the cloud, this storage may be sufficient. A memory card slot is also available for extra storage.

Battery - Acer claims about 11.5 Hours of battery life with a single full charge but we can expect around 8 hours of battery life.

Suited For - Kids, parents, students who use very less, people who use sparingly and people who watch YouTube videos or use google products more often.

Not Suited For - People who want Windows OS, touchscreen Chromebook, a performance laptop with SSD storage for running linux containers, playing cloud games etc in general not suitable for heavy users.

Conclusion

Cheap and best Acer chromebook for under 300 US dollars. If you are ok with storage, you can consider buying this laptop because of its fast processor and price point.
