This was a gift for grandson for Christmas. Everything went well, booted no problem and performed well.

Nice, little device that I'll give to my Grandchildren because they get lots of assignments on line

Great product for the price. And very dependable for what I need it for.

This is quite nice for casual use and makes a great backup to have if your higher end laptop fails and you need to get on the internet or complete a project.

It is a basic laptop, but gets the job down. Hardward is pretty tough might I add. I went from a touch screen to this so I'm not too impressed, but had gotten all my online school needs so far.

My entire shopping experience was fantastic! You have an amazing selection and really great sales.

For a basic laptop it does the job. I couldn’t download one of the freebies it came with.

Superb laptop! Very happy with purchase and best buy, is the best service also.

I think the Acer Chromebook 315 has a big, bright screen with very good performance, especially for a Chromebook with only 4 GB of RAM. Design The Chromebook 315 has a pretty standard laptop look. There is a noticeable bezel around the screen but it's not bad. It's not extra thin or light but not think and heavy either. It's very comfortable for me to use as a laptop not feeling flimsy when moving the screen up and down or when typing. This display lifts open and goes back fairly far if you want. It's not a touch screen. The touchpad is not huge, but a good size and it works well. I like the feel of the keyboard. Typing on it feels very comfortable. The layout is good with a full numaric keypad and both the <Backspace> and <Delete> keys. Some Chromebooks only give you the <Backspace> key. The keys are not backlit. I was happy to find two USB Type A ports and two USB type C ports on it. There is also a headphone jack and a Micro SD card slot. The power button is a keyboard key towards to the top right of the keyboard, as is common now on many laptops. This Chromebook does not power on when you open it. But it does suspend nicely when you close the lid and wakes quickly when you open it. A very nice padded sleeve is included to help protect it when you travel. The top is zippered to close it and there is a large pocket, also with a zipper, in the front of the sleeve. Setup The setup process is very quick and easy. I used a Google account I already have and was up and running in about 5 minutes. It automatically installed apps I have on another Chromebook in the background once I got through the setup process. It even installed an update as part of the setup. Performance and Functionality In the past I've had issues opening many tabs on Chromebooks with only 4 GB of RAM. I think Google made changes to Chrome in the last year or so that help it to use less memory when working with lots of tabs - well, if so, it shows. I was very impressed at how quickly pages loaded. It got a bit slower but I was able to open 24 web sites, some pretty demanding. I was amazed at how well it work. It started getting a bit slower but it was still fine for most web sites. I did say yes when Chrome asked me if it wanted to use a new feature to save memory. That seemed to work fine and is probably why I could open so many tabs. I also noticed that scrolling on web pages is very smooth. It's a much better experience than I thought I would get with 4 GB of RAM. Display The display has a large 15.6" diagonal and a resolution of 1280x720. It's very bright and colors appear rich, not washed out, with good contrast. The resolution is nothing special, and lower than 1080p "Full HD", but everything looks good and is a very easy to read size without any display scaling. I was able to connect to an external 4K display (both USB C ports may be used as a DisplayPort) and test 4K video playback on there. It played the video smoothly with the external display set to 100% scaling and I was even able to set it to 120 Hz at 4K. Battery Life While I didn't do any sort of battery run down test or a lot of heavy usage, I've been very impressed by the battery life. It's supposed to get 10 hours. This is very unscientific but I think I'm getting more like 12-15 hours with it. I'm very happy with the battery life. Most of the time I have the screen brightness somewhere in the 50% to 75% range. Summary With a large, bright display, a good keyboard, a good selection of ports, and very good performance I think the Chromebook 315 provides a lot of value. The sleeve is a great bonus too!

Bought as gift. Recipient seems happy with it. Got on sale at a great price.

I bought this for my mom for Christmas, she loves it and I’ve never seen her so happy
