Customer Ratings & Reviews

It was ok, but I needed a better camera and this wasn't it for me. Great laptop, if you just need to send emails and do simple things online!

Doesnt come with anything like Microsoft word, or notepad for typing and creating drafts which was a disappointment.

I've had the Acer Chromebook 315 for a few weeks now, and it's my daily work and everyday use driver. One of the initial things I appreciated was the Sparkly Silver finish—not just that it looks good, but it's also very resistant to fingerprints, so it continues to look like new. The 15.6-inch Full HD IPS display has clear, crisp imagery, and while it's not a touchscreen, the clarity and color quality more than compensate. To operate, Intel Celeron N4500 processor and 4GB RAM handle daily tasks with ease. I do not find it difficult to have several Google Chrome windows open simultaneously with Google Docs and emails without lagging. That it is not a gaming computer and not a workstation for heavy professional video editing does not matter because in web-based applications, streaming, and mobile productivity, it is perfect. I have also been impressed with the battery life—being able to get nearly ten hours on a single charge is a big bonus for my long days away from home. A nice bonus is also the protective sleeve that is included with the laptop. It is a snug fit and there is ample padding to make me feel good about throwing it into my backpack. I also like the lighter weight, as it eliminates back pain when I'm running around campus. Overall, the Acer Chromebook 315 has been a solid, budget-friendly option for someone who wants a larger screen and decent performance. I'm really glad that I ultimately purchased it.

didn;t have windows 11 and I didn;t need a chromebook

The laptop was affordable but after 6months the pixel gave out. We only use it for homework 3 days of the week, so it was unfortunate to have to buy another laptop.

Item never shipped. When I called Best Buy they said it’s not a Best Buy item . They gave me third party number . They said nothing they can do . I would never ever use Best Buy again and I’m sharing my experience with others

At first I had no complaints of the laptop, however once I started to use multiple pages for my business it started glitching and not letting me do the work it would crash a lot!

The Acer Chromebook 315 15.6" HD Laptop with Intel Celeron N4500 is a nice looking, quality Chromebook, but temper your expectations. This is an entry level and budget friendly model. Basically, a Chromebook is optimized for working in the cloud. There is little storage space on the laptop itself - limited to 64GB, so you can see where cloud storage would be necessary. The RAM is limited to 4GB and I understand that cannot be upgraded. This is not the laptop you would want to use for heavy multi-tasking. Overall, this is great for browsing the internet, email, and streaming activities. If you are coming from a Windows PC, it is a relatively simple switchover to Chromebook. Personally, I am used to using Windows based devices so with this, of course, there is an adjustment to the Chrome OS. Windows programs cannot run on this, but there are some workarounds if you are willing to do that. Also, you are able to access and use Microsoft 365. Ideally, if you need to run Windows based programs, you would want to get a Windows PC. Chromebook runs on the Chrome Operating System - it is Google based which means it is set up to run all of your typical Google apps such as Gmail, Photos, Google Docs, etc. Thankfully, I am familiar with Google, so it makes the adjustment easier. Physically, this laptop is a good size at 15.6". It is the typical silver I see so often. It does have somewhat thin bezels which provides more screen area and to me, makes it look better. The keyboard is not backlit, but the wonderful thing here is that the keyboard has a numeric keypad! It is small but absolutely useable. That is such a convenience for me. It has an anti-glare screen which is nice. This has a nice size touch pad which is responsive. The resolution on this is Full HD 1920x1080, but, frankly, the resolution is lacking. No matter the adjustments I tried, the resolution is just not good. In order to get somewhat better contrast, I had to turn up the brightness very high and doing that made it difficult on my eyes! I was streaming an animated film and the picture provided was not crisp the way I would expect an animated movie to be. Connectivity-wise, this laptop has 2 USB-C and 2 USB-A ports, a micro SD card slot, headphone input and a place for a laptop lock. There is no HDMI port here, but you are able to cast or use a USB-C to HDMI adapter. The WiFi is good - it connected immediately for me and never has dropped. Streaming was not choppy nor pixelated. The battery charges quickly, which is good because at full charge it will last only up to 10 hours, about one day. I would just leave it plugged in except for travel and short-term use. It is quick to start from being "off". There is no real lag when going from one task to another. Upon signing into Google, I had immediate access to all of my Google files - mail, photos, documents - everything. Overall, the Acer Chromebook 315 15.6" Full HD Laptop with Intel Celeron N4500 is a budget-friendly entry into the world of Chromebooks. This would be great for homework, email, and definitely working in the Google realm. It is fairly easy to learn to use and just works well. Know that the end of use for this one is June 2031 - after that time, updates will no longer be provided. I would recommend this to anyone searching for a Chromebook, with the caveat that this is entry-level.

Box came damaged just like every other package I order it's like the delivery company has a problem with my neighborhood where they just hurry up and toss packages on porch with no care in the world

I know this is just a base level Chromebook. But very slow. Too slow.. had to return it

I am expecting a refund. This worked well for a few weej then suddenly the right side of keyboard no longer worked.

It's not a great laptop. Very slow and I have been experiencing glitches

Been waiting for my laptop for two weeks now. Only I keep getting is “package delayed” no more info giving when I inquire

There are no scroll bars to check email on yahoo.com

The touch pad didn’t work and couldn’t attach an external mouse either

Got this brand new and it lags when typing and opening new browser tabs. Truly the epitome of disposable laptops

way to slow couldnt download the "free" secutiry app that came with it

Wanted to return this unit. Store would not allow. Wouldn’t allow store credit either. Done using Best Buy.

The Acer Chromebook 315 is very nice!! The large screen has a beautiful display and has a lot of vibrancy, the sound quality is very nice compared to most other chromebooks, the track pad works very well, and the keys are spaced out perfectly, helping to ensure that typing is effortless and smooth. I also appreciate how lightweight the laptop is, as well as the case it comes with. These two things make it easily transportable, and allows for you to be able to work with it pretty much anywhere. The charging cable is pretty long and easily collapsible and charges it very quickly. The camera is also surprisingly good. While it doesn’t compare to an actual camera or a phone, it is pretty high quality in comparison to most chromebooks. The setup process was very simple and easy to understand, and there are lots of different customization options when it comes to both the display and personalization. Overall I would give it about a 4 to a 4.5, simply because the lack of a touch screen is a little inconvenient and the overall size makes it difficult to fit in the average bag/backpack, however besides that it works well, has wonderful battery life, and has a stunning display.
