Acer Chromebook 314 (CB314-4HT-32X6) Short Review

Specifications - 14 Inch Full HD 60Hz IPS anti-glare touchscreen display, Intel Core i3-N305 Octa-core processor, Intel UHD Graphics, 8 GB LPDDR5 RAM, 128 GB PCIe NVMe 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, 3.5mm jack, 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 with touchscreen for people who like to have a touchscreen chromebook under 500 dollars.

Processor - This processor can handle high processing tasks easily. You can find speed in general usage like opening tabs, opening google apps, linux applications or android apps. Suited for above-medium usage.

Graphics - Intel UHD Graphics is more for display purposes. As this is a chromebook, playing games is not recommended. Can play low graphic chrome games or android app games. Or play cloud games but not recommended.

RAM - 8 GB of RAM can be sufficient if you are a light to medium user. If you use this chromebook for heavy work or running heavy linux applications, you will feel lag.

Storage - 128 GB SSD storage is enough for most of the work, even for linux. But it depends on the type of work. So it is a personal choice.

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, linux users and people who want to use this chromebook as daily driver.

Not Suited For - Gamers, people who want to install windows applications.

Conclusion

One of the best chromebook's to buy in 2024. Features a touchscreen, fast processor, more RAM and SSD storage.
