The form of this laptop-like Chromebook is nice in the hand, but it's a little weighty compared to the more powerful touchscreen Acer Chromebook Spin 713 (1.7kg and 1.3kg respectively). But this larger size and moulding comes with some downsides. Its dimensions of 12.8 x 9.1 x 0.78 inches (32.5 x 23.1 x 2 cm W x D x H) ensure a comfortable typing position, with room for your wrists to rest. The overall appeal of the Acer Chromebook 314 is of a mid-priced PC laptop.

Finished in metallic silver, this Chromebook feels splashy and gives the impression of an aluminium finish, even though it's not, the Acer Chromebook 314 is all-plastic. The Acer Chromebook 314 is the size and feel of a small PC laptop, and thankfully just a little larger than a notebook. The Acer Chromebook 314's keyboard is solid, good to use, and will last you quite some time (Image credit: Future)
