The Acer Chromebook 315 is an entry level 15.6” laptop with a basic full HD display built with a power efficient Intel Celeron N4500 processor that provides basic performance and great battery life with a fanless design. The processor is only dual-core running at a base speed of 1.1 GHz that can boost up to 2.8 GHZ when pushed to its limits. This Chromebook comes with a basic 64 GB eMMC storage which is barely enough nowadays for general web use and apps. 4 GB of memory is sufficient for simultaneously running a few Chrome web tabs, watching YouTube videos, though it will get a bit sluggish if you never close unused apps. It came with a USB-C charger which helps fully charge the Lithium battery only in a couple of hours. I have not been able to use it for 10 hours consecutively, but I can say it lasted at least 10 hours of mixed use over a few days, mostly web, youtube and Netflix.
This chromebook has two USB-C 3.2 and two USB-A 3.2 ports, one of each on each side. Additionally, it still has a standard headphone jack. The built-in 720p Webcam, microphone and speakers complete the package that also make teleconferencing easy. It worked well when I tried it with Zoom and Microsoft Teams. The keyboard has a nice solid feel to it, just enough key travel but unfortunately it is not backlit, but I guess at the under $200 price point it’s to be expected. The touchpad is a bit too responsive and supports basic trackpad gestures like scrolling, zoom in and out, right-click. The keyboard actually has enough room to include a numeric pad.
The overall built quality is OK, relatively light weight for a 15.6” laptop, it is about 3.5 lbs which makes it easy to travel with. The screen is full 1080p HD, decent quality for consuming web content and working on docs and spreadsheets as part of the Google Apps ecosystem or even Microsoft O365 Apps. The bezels are fairly narrow but unfortunately it is not a touch-screen, but at this price-point that would be too much to ask for.
Much like most modern Chromebooks, you can also run many Android Apps from the Google Play store which contributes to making this a very affordable, versatile Chromebook. Acer also includes a lightly padded protective sleeve which is a nice touch, more laptop manufacturers should consider including one.
