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.

I bought this as my 2nd Chromebook as I love the one I own now. The person who helped me was very knowledgeable and friendly and the purchase was very smooth.

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.

There are a lot of functions I miss with this laptop but over all it's a good laptop

I was worried about how good the quality would be for its affordable price, but the person I got this for seems happy with it besides some of its interface layout.

This is my third Acer in 7 years. I like the price & the simplicity but I need more volume as I use my Acer for audiobooks. I am older and have difficulty hearing and reading very small print so I do struggle with most devices. Ok
