Acer Chromebook Plus 514 Laptop (14" FHD+ Touchscreen, Intel 8-Core i3-N355, 8GB RAM, 640GB Storage, 2TB Cloud Storage) for Business & Student, 1080p Webcam, Backlit KB, HDMI, Wi-Fi 6E, Chrome OS

It had it all for something convenient. Good frames, graphics, had a large screen, and had great storage. After 9 months the screen ultimately just gave up seemingly overnight. No black lights, no resolution, no images. The screen was ultimately unresponsive to the rest of the laptop powering on. It made the booting noise, the fans run fine, the keyboard lights up and everything. I’ve tried some popular solutions to this specific laptop like hard resets, using another screen to reset graphics, the whole nine yards. I doubt I missed anything as it’s been close to 18 hours of troubleshooting collectively. For the price and performance I would’ve hoped for a quality lifespan but 9 months?! Nine months is just not worth it. I’d just recommend a pre built pc from Walmart over this product in terms of longevity. I doubt the warranty’ll replace it or if I can get a refund without the original box so if you’re looking for something that’ll run well for just about any game for a short period of time until you get a proper pc this is your placeholder. Though in the end the price is just too much for that. In the end the pictures I have is the Laptop fully on, tv screen to the right of it has the display since the screen crapped out. The power is on, fans are running smoothly, and the keyboard is reacting. But without a responsive screen this laptop is just useless minus the fact I have an old tv screen to keep it going until I get a pc. My final message, buyer beware it has the potential to be not good but great for a laptop, however the lifespan of it throws everything else out the window. Unless you’re wanting an expensive temporary gaming laptop this is not the way to go.

The laptop is very nice in terms of build quality feels premium however the power just wasn’t there for me personally I was experiencing a lot of frame rate stuttering on games that weren’t even pushing the laptop to its limits so the performance kinda ruined it for me. Maybe my unit was defective I’m not sure.
