Overall the Acer Chromebook 15 kept up with my tests and day-to-day usage just fine. I never felt it was underpowered or sluggish, which is the case with a lot of Chromebooks. It has a healthy number and variety of ports and a beautiful display, making it a premium offering. My biggest gripe is its scant 32GB of storage, which is at odds with the high-end nature of this model. Also nothing about it really impressed me aside from the display, making it a pretty average Chromebook.

For undemanding users, the Chromebook 15 looks to be a decent budget laptop. It offers a larger-than-usual screen with a sensible resolution and there’s a touchscreen model if you’re willing to pay extra. If it lives up to the 14-hour battery life claims, then it’ll be a very tempting proposition for some people that would otherwise have to put with with less than half that from a similarly priced Windows laptop. However, do bear in mind that you can’t run Windows apps on a Chromebook and a £399/US$349 Windows laptop will have a more powerful processor and a much wider choice of software.
