Acer knows how to make good, solid, reliable Chromebooks, and this model is no exception. Performance was always decent, the screen size is a welcome addition, and the long battery life makes it a great option for travelling. It’s just a shame that the display panel doesn’t quite match up to that of the Toshiba Chromebook 2, which is similarly priced but does offer a richer experience. If you can accept the screen though, the Acer Chromebook 13 is a very nice machine that will get the job done.

The Acer Chromebook 13 is a powerful Chromebook, packed with the latest hardware. But, it’s more expensive than comparable Windows laptops and lacks a touchscreen. This is a fine Chromebook for travelers, but – at this price – most would-be customers will want to stay away.
