![]() If you're looking for something to use as an everyday next-to-the-sofa laptop or something to do all your online work on with no trouble, then this is the best Chromebook for you. It also lacks a fingerprint reader, though that seems like nitpicking somewhat. It also suffers a bit from not having a touchscreen - unlike its smaller brother the Acer Chromebook Flip 311 which really gives that Chromebook an edge in interaction. ![]() It's not as compact as some might like, making it slightly more unwieldy - a hangover of its laptop-inspired design. However, when you team the range of ports with its very reliable WiFi connection, the overall connectivity of Acer Chromebook 314 is pretty solid - though not spectacular. It also has no external display ports so there's no opportunity to hook this up to a monitor or screen for presentations, unless you use an adapter - again, sacrificing a USB port. However, you'll quickly run out of space after you've connected a mouse, keyboard and phone or external drive, so that could be seen as an opportunity missed, particularly if its trying to emulate a laptop experience. ![]() There's two of each kind of USB (C and A) to keep your extra devices live (one USB-C is for charging the Chromebook). The connectivity and ports offered are pretty good, too. Acer Chromebook 314 (Silver) at Amazon for $189 (opens in new tab).
