The Acer Chromebook 314 is easy to use, has a long-lasting battery, and can run many apps at once. This Chromebook is great for kids because it’s durable and has great office apps from Google. It might not be good enough for art projects, so you might want to think about getting a tablet model instead. As a basic Chromebook, it’s worth taking a look at.
Chromebooks are great because you don’t need much to set them up besides a good internet link. This means that the Acer Chromebook 314 box only comes with a power wire. (it does come in a soft but hardly durable slip case). The Google OS takes care of all the hard work. Just open the lid, link your Google account or set up a new one, and you’re ready to go. The whole process takes less than 10 minutes, and this laptop will start up in less than eight seconds after being turned off.

Where to get Acer Chromebook Spin 314 laptop?
It takes some time to get used to how easy it is to use a browser OS instead of a standard Windows machine. Everything runs in the cloud, and most apps are run as Chrome browser attachments or shortcuts. There is no “desktop” in the traditional sense because everything runs through your Google Drive in the cloud.
The Acer Chromebook 314 has the look and feel of a mid-priced PC machine as a whole. Its measurements of 12.8 x 9.1 x 0.78 inches (32.5 x 23.1 x 2 cm; W x D x H) make it easy to type while giving your wrists a place to rest. But there are some problems with this bigger size and shape.
This Chromebook looks and feels like a laptop, but it is heavier than the more powerful touchscreen Acer Chromebook Spin 713. (1.7kg and 1.3kg respectively). This Chromebook feels big and heavy. To put it simply, the battery life is great. On the video loop test, where we played a looped movie at 720p with 50% brightness and 50% audio, the Acer Chromebook 314 lasted 13 hours, which is longer than the 10 hours advertised.
