Acer Chromebook 15 is a big laptop that's also a big bargain
[MUSIC]
The ACER CHROMEBOOK 15 is a big laptop with perfect pricing.
Starting at $399, it's a decent performer that packs a 15.6 inch touchscreen, loudspeakers, long battery life, and a relatively slim and lightweight design.
Especially for a large budget laptop.
It has a stylish aluminum lid and metal chassis with big silver bezels that resemble a Macbook.
The backlit keyboard is comfortable to type on and the touchpad is silky smooth with camford edges to match the rest of the laptops design.
it definitely looks more expensive than it is.
Running Chrome OS, the Acer Chromebook was built for using Google's cloud based apps, like Gmail, Google+, and Chrome browser.
It also has access to the Google Play Store, that means you can download apps like on an Android device Trucks that have just using the laptop for browsing the web I can email a streaming video you can post to Instagram download video for offline watching using the Netflix app order SyFy Network the 15.6 inch screen has a full 1080p HD resolution that's nice and sharp Although a little dull in color saturation, viewing angles are solid and the laptop's 180 degree hinge, help achieve an optimal viewing angle.
There are two speakers located on the left and right edges of the keyboard.
They're surprisingly loud and crisp and easily fill a room.
However, like most laptop speakers, they lack bass.
Since the laptop's big screen and loud speakers make it great for watching video, it's unfortunate that the laptop doesn't have a 360 hinge that would allow it to prop up like a tent or flip the keyboard over as a stand for a better viewing angle.
The Acer Chromebook 15's performance was as expected based on its internal specs.
It smoothly handled many open Chrome tabs and a few apps open in the background before it started to slow down.
Battery life was impressive, lasting an entire workday on a full charge.
In battery testing, looping a 720p video, it lasted 13 hours and 45 minutes If you're interesting in buying a Chromebook with the big screen, you don't have a large variety to choose from.
Thankfully, the Acer Chromebook 15 is an excellent value for the casual user, making it a very easy choice to make.
