5.0 out of 5 stars The Acer Chromebook Plus 514 is THE Move! 🎉
By Terry P.
Alright, listen up! If you're on the hunt for a laptop that doesn't play games, doesn't break the bank, and just GETS IT, you gotta stop right here. The Acer Chromebook Plus 514 isn't just good; it's a freaking revelation. Let me break it down for you.🚀 STUPID FAST & READY TO GOForget everything you thought you knew about Chromebooks.The "Plus" badge means business. From a cold start to your login screen in seconds. Switching between twenty browser tabs? Smooth. Streaming, video calls, light editing? Flawless. This thing is powered up and it shows. No more waiting around—it keeps up with your brain, no lag, no excuses.💥 THAT SCREEN, THOUGH! 👀I'm not just saying it's"bright." I'm saying it's VIBRANT. The 1080p IPS display on this thing is so clear, so crisp, and so brilliantly lit that binge-watching your favorite show feels like an event. Whether you're working in a sunny café or curled up in a dimly lit room, the screen adjusts beautifully. It makes everything look better, from spreadsheets to music videos. This is a screen you want to look at all day.🙏 EASY. TO. USE. (Seriously)If you can use a browser,you can master this laptop. ChromeOS is the definition of simplicity. No complicated setups, no weird driver issues, no endless updates that require a coffee break. It updates in the background in seconds. It syncs perfectly with your Android phone and Google everything. It’s secure out of the box. It’s the ultimate "it just works" machine for students, families, and anyone who values their sanity.🧱 BUILT LIKE A TANK | RELIABILITY YOU CAN TRUSTAcer didn't skimp here.The chassis feels solid, the hinge is smooth and confident, and it has this great balance of being light enough to carry everywhere but strong enough to handle life in a backpack. This is a device built for the daily grind. You can depend on it to boot up, log in, and get to work, day after day after day. No drama, just performance.🎯 THE KILLER FEATURE: AFFORDABLE AWESOMENESSHere’s the absolute best part.You get ALL of this—the killer speed, the gorgeous screen, the rock-solid reliability—for a price that feels like a steal. It delivers a premium experience without the premium price tag. The value for money is absolutely insane. You simply cannot find a Windows or Mac machine with these specs at this price. It’s a total game-changer.FINAL VERDICT:The Acer Chromebook Plus 514 is the whole package.It’s the smart, no-compromise, powerhouse daily driver you've been waiting for.If you want a laptop that is fast, reliable, beautiful to look at, and won't empty your wallet... THIS IS IT.HIGHLY RECOMMEND.Mic drop. 🎤

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for People Who Want a Chromebook Instead of a Traditional Laptop
By Kiki Bean
I decided to ditch Windows since my Windows10 HP is barely functioning. I was hoping to wait until closer to the October 2025 deadline, but then I saw this Chromebook about a month ago. The price was right and I was tired of waiting half a day for updates to finish installing on my laptop. It was my intention to replace my laptop with a Chromebook, since I was already familiar with the OS. It suits my needs perfectly. It is so much faster and lighter than my laptop was. It is fast and I like the size. The sound is really good for everyday functions. The speakers are on top, on either side of the keyboard, rather than underneath the case. I like how the keyboard feels. It seems like good quality to me. The keys are tight and precise, but not backlit (which wasn't something I needed). I like having the touchscreen for ease of use. The only thing some people might have a problem with is the air vents are on the bottom, so if you're using it on your lap, you'll feel it heat up. It isn't hot, but it's something to be mindful of to prevent overheating. The screen is clear. It's very easy to use this Chromebook, especially if you already have a Google account. Setup was quick and easy. I ordered a wired keypad, since that is something I've grown used to using over the years. I haven't found the adjustment to be troublesome, so I haven't actually used the portable keypad that often. Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase and would recommend this product. This is my first Acer product. After setting up the chromebook, the Acer registration process was simple and took about five minutes to complete. This Chromebook starts fast. Updates take less than a minute. Everything I need is at my fingertips. It works with my wireless printer, which also took about five minutes to set up. I really don't have any complaints, but I was upgrading from a 2018 laptop, so other people may not share my experience if they have newer equipment to compare this to. I consistently have a lot of tabs open at the same time. I stream videos and often switch back and forth between tabs and apps. I use wireless earbuds with this as well. Quick and easy setup, perfect functionality. My Favorite Thing: The camera privacy slide. I know it's a small thing. But it was one of the first things that put this in my list of Chromebooks. I ultimately chose this one based on price. It offered everything I was looking for except for a built-in keypad. That was a small concession to make in order to save at least a hundred dollars.

great laptop for the price. The 16GB RAM and 512GB ssd provide smooth performance and the 180° hinge is a nice touch. Windows 11 runs well, and the sleek Silver Gray design looks premium. Highly recommend!

5.0 out of 5 stars Rocky setup, but end result was worth it

The media could not be loaded. When I first booted this laptop up, it presented me with a "defaultuser0" account that I didn't know the password to. I completely wiped this laptop's SSD and reinstalled Windows to play it safe, and after that it worked like a charm with regular setup. I did have to find drivers online for the touchpad afterward though.Getting at the SSD to do all of this was thankfully pretty easy, since the bottom panel was removable with a few tiny screws. I noticed that there is only a single slot for RAM in there, but it isn't soldered on so I was able to upgrade it with a 16 gig stick at least. The N97 is no gaming powerhouse but it plays some older titles still, and the laptop works great for work like emails and browsing the internet.
