Just lovely
I love it! Can't leave it alone, my dog is jealous! Maybe it's cuz I got 3 yrs practice with the Samsung Chromebook that broke (after I abused it in frustration), but I think this one was a lot easier to set up and use. It hasn't made me frustrated not even once, I hope it'll last a long time. I just use it for doing simple stuff online, and for sharing files with my camera and phone. If you're online for hours, like me, just keep an eye on your power use. I've not run out of juice but it appears to go down fast at first.

Basic but very capable and portable.
I am quite pleased with the newest Acer 311. The build quality is decent despite being all plastic. That makes it lighter and more portable. The screen can lay 180° flat, stays up, and does not wobble. The keys have very good travel and feel very tactile. The trackpad is plastic but has a nice feel and is clicky. The bezels are bigger than I’d prefer, making the 11.6” display seem smaller. The HD (1366 x 768) screen has acceptable brightness but is a bit washed out and has pretty bad viewing angles. Nevertheless, I can see all text, graphics, and vide clearly. Sadly, there is no touchscreen support. The sound is what you’d expect from a small laptop. OK volume, clear, but no bass whatsoever. About connectivity, we have a USB-C 3.2 and a USB-A 3.1 port. The USB-C doubles as a power delivery and display port. The laptop is Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth compatible and works well and fast. There’s also a 3.8mm audio headphone jack. The N4500 CPU, Intel UHD Graphics, 4GB LPDDR4X memory combined make for a very smooth Chromebook workflow. I had several internet tabs open, (within reason), watched video, did productivity work, played super-basic games, and yes, streamed games with relatively no issues or slowdown. I did notice the laptop got bit warm but nothing uncomfortable and the fans were not loud at all. The 64GB storage is low but considering that this is designed to be used with cloud support, makes it sufficient. The battery life ranges between 8-10 hours depending on the use -good enough for a full workday. The 720P webcam is nothing to write home about but good enough for those basic video calls. I appreciate the included security cam cover. In the end, I think this Chromebook is quite portable and capable of handling everyday tasks. It’s perfect for student use and for anyone that is looking for simplicity and security. While the price could have been a bit lower, this is a great budget option.
