Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Forces you to put your private imformation If you don't, it only lets you log on as a guest.

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

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

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

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.

Kind of pointless device, a cell phone is better, wasted my money.

system is very slow. hard to access thing,taking long time than usual,

The Acer Chromebook 315 is a 15" Full HD Chromebook that looks smarter, feels lighter, and is incredible value if you are in the Google ecosystem (Gmail, Docs, Drive). In my case, it was more than powerful and fast enough for a weekend long editing session of shared 150+ page Google Docs document for a college assignment, with multiple collaborators - making it perfect for work or school. What's in the box - Acer Chromebook 315 15" - USB C Charger - Denim-Feel Carrying Case - Instruction Leaflets Look and Feel Acer call the color "sparkly silver" but it's very much the normal silver you see on most laptops. So if you're worried it's glitter silver, it's not :-). What really strikes you when you pick it up is how light Acer 315 is, it's kinda of amazing that a 15" laptop can be this light - it's lighter than my 13" Windows laptop I use for work, which is mind blowing! Design wise, it has a very fruit-company like design, a large touchpad with no mouse buttons, there's a full numeric keypad, keys have a slight texture but are not backlit, display is 1080P and full HD - so sharp. I love that there are 2x USB A and 2x USB A ports, 1 of each on each side. There's also a headphone jack and a microSD reader. There's no fingerprint reader. Setup Setup is easy, plug in, turn on. The included USB C power cable is long. First use, after setting up WiFi took about 15min as it had update to latest version of Chrome OS. After that, it was a simple case of logging in with your Google credentials, set a PIN, and away you go! In Use - Speed and Battery Life The Acer 315 uses an Intel Celeron processor. This is ample for Chrome OS and you can still enjoy some basic games, and it's more than powerful enough for Zoom and Apple Music. There was no stuttering when I had multiple taps open (Google Docs, Google Slides, Gmail, Meets, and music in the background). I'm not sure about battery life, as I was using this corded on my kitchen table, but Acer rates the battery life at 10 hours. This is more than enough working in the morning, a break for lunch and a recharger, then a full afternoon of work. What's to love about the Acer 315 I love the lightweight. Still messes with my head that it's so so light. The screen size is great, I feel you can truly be productive on a 15" laptop. The included denim feel case is a nice tough, makes the Acer feel more premium. What would make it perfect. At this price point, it's hard to complain. A fingerprint reader would be nice - as at 15" screen size, I feel the laptop would make a great home laptop for sharing. I also prefer a fingerprint reader for security than a PIN. Otherwise, definitely worth buying and a great value if you're all in on the Google ecosystem.

Just do your research before purchasing, it doesn't have most features you need

crap, do not buy ! if i knew how bad it was you couldn't even give to me.
