    Cheap option, doesn't run certain work platforms or games because it's running on google's operating system. Good if you are literally just watching youtube or something of that nature.

    Affordable Entry Level Green Laptop

    The Acer Chromebook 315 is a good base level laptop that will get the job done for everyday use. I've found it useful for web conferencing, streaming YouTube videos and general web browsing, so it can be a nice secondary device, whether you want to use it as a travel companion or for light productivity. Its a great choice for the kids as well! Design & Build Quality: One of the strong features at this price is the 15.6-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) display. The non-reflective panel makes it more usable in bright places since it has no reflections from sunlights and indoor lights and while it might not have the color accuracy compared to higher-end screens, It’s good enough everyday videos and calls. The Chromebook 315 also weighs in as backpack-friendly, despite its larger screen size, and the included protective sleeve is a nice bonus. The OceanGlass touchpad made from recycled plastic is a nice touch. It’s made from recycled ocean plastic, which not only provides a smooth and responsive experience, but also helps to reduce plastic waste in the ocean. Performance & Usability This Chromebook is powered by the Intel Celeron N4500 with 4GB RAM for efficiency, not power. It’s enough to handle basic web surfing, Google Docs and streaming, but those who need to multitask may find the 4GB RAM lacking. The eMMC storage of 64 GB is limited too, so you will need to use either cloud storage or an external drive for large files. The HD HDR webcam is a big highlight, providing for nice image quality on video calls. Along with dual built-in microphones and DTS Audio dual speakers, the laptop offers a complete conferencing experience. The sound is distortion free and speakers placement is pretty interesting, being under the laptop they could get blocked depending on what you use to rest the laptop on. Battery Life & Portability Equipped with up to 10 hours battery life, the Chromebook 315 can last throughout a full day of work or on a long-haul flight. Final Verdict All users who want a inexpensive, environmentally friendly laptop computer for web conferencing, streaming and standard productivity, consider the Acer Chromebook 315. You could use this on the go with its Full HD display, and decent battery life, and the onboard audio is great for hybrid workers and students. If you will be running more CPU/GPU-intensive applications, or need more storage, take a look at the higher RAM and SSD storage models. Pros: ✔ Antiglare Full HD display ✔ Working webcan and mic for video calls ✔ Clear Sound- DTS Audio ✔ an OceanGlassntouchpad made from upcycled materials. ✔ Protective sleeve included ✔ Excellent battery life Cons: ✖ 4GB RAM feels restricting for heavy multitasking ✖ 64GB eMMC storage can be lacking ✖ Underpowered for any demanding tasks (Celeron N4500) Acer Chromebook 315 — This is a strong contender to be the best inexpensive, travel-oriented Chromebook out there.

    Works Great for Everyday Tasks

    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.

    Not great but not bad. The definition of you get what you pay for. I would not recommend if you like to use storage on the hard drive instead of on the cloud. Runs a bit slow on high speed WiFi. I’m wouldn’t recommend for a student or anyone who keeps records, more so short content or emails. I did like that the screen didn’t cause eye strain. I did not try to stream on it. I wound up returning this item.

    Nice entry-level Chromebook by Acer

    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.

      Not seeing a scroll bar on Yahoo Mail within your Chromebook's browser might be due to a few reasons, including browser settings, website design, or accessibility features. You can try enabling the scrollbar in Chrome settings, disabling extensions, or checking for accessibility features that might be hiding the scrollbar. We also suggest you post your question on the Acer community forum at community.acer.com. This is a very good peer-to-peer forum for questions and answers on Acer products. acer
