Customer Ratings & Reviews

I am an avid believer that Chromebooks can fulfill about 90% of what most people need in a computer. The Acer Kenzo Chromebook 311 is all about cutting down to the basics of what most people need and gives you the pure ChromeOS experience. In terms of design aesthetic. It really is geared towards practicality. I actually like the simple design. It is thin and fits well with the modern aesthetic. The thing that does stand out are the bezels. They are very thick. I think they easily could have fit a 13 inch screen but understandably that would increase the cost. On the bright side, the size and weight make it very portable. It really is ultra-light and was no problem transporting around. The build quality feels sturdy. I would not advise it but I think it could take a beating. The port selection also has the basics. It has a USB type C port which also functions as the charging port. It has a headphone jack, USB 2.0 port, and a lock slot. In terms of the keyboard, I have enjoyed Acer’s keyboards in the past. This one was no different. It was comfortable and the layout was easy to get used to. You may feel a little cramped, but it was usable. The trackpad is decently sized given the size of the Chromebook itself. The trackpad similarly was fairly easy to use. The display is 1366 x 768. For those who are used to FHD and higher, text may seem a little on the fuzzier side. The screen itself is also dim. Smaller screens also mean more scrolling unfortunately which can be uncomfortable. Sound is also just decent. I would carry around headphones. So the processor that this Chromebook uses is an ARM processor. Basically, these processors are designed to be as efficient as possible. They are much simpler, consume less power, and are less expensive. For Chromebooks, these are ideal because they do not have the same needs as full laptop devices. This translates into a much longer battery life for the Chromebook. The advertised battery life is about 15 hours and I truly was getting close to that amount. I would forget to charge and still have plenty of juice left for me to get to an outlet later. This is the greatest strength of the Acer Kenzo Chromebook 311. In terms of performance, it gets the job done. I had no problem using the wide extent of ChromeOS’s capabilities. I downloaded and used apps, web browsed, streamed, and edited some papers. I love using Citrix to access remote desktops for work and this could handle it. I downloaded word editing documents and those worked great. I watched a little Netflix in my downtime and that worked fine as well. It did stutter at times but it’s to be expected given the processor. Simple is best for this one without the clunkiness of a full laptop OS. All in all, the Acer Kenzo Chromebook 311 is a SOLID chromebook. Are you getting the latest and greatest, most beautiful laptop? No, but you get a small, lightweight, and portable machine that performs decently well. It can perform all the tasks that Chromebooks can do. You don’t have to worry about your kids breaking a 1000$ machine and it is a cheap way to have a daily driver that can get beat up. It has all-day battery life. If you don’t need the extra stuff and just want a productivity machine, then this Chromebook is really perfect for you. Pros Good build quality Excellent battery life Full ChromeOS functionality - web browsing, streaming, all of the Google Play Store apps Cons Small, dull, low-resolution screen (compromises have to be made) Bezels

Yesh ut was cheap and tiny. Nice for the money. Got it on sale too

It was a great computer for my daughter until it wouldn't turn on. Of course this would happen just after the one year warranty. Very disappointing but the laptop was perfect for my 10yo daughter. Just dont expect it to last much over a year.
