The organization's new Chromebook 15 ($349) has a 15.6-inch, 1080p display, which is huge in the Chromebook space, and a strong aluminum outline.

Design 

First of all, the Chromebook 15 is huge. That is by outline. It's intended to be a major Chromebook for spilling video or taking a gander at pictures. This machine is a silver, metal section with Acer's logo in a mirror complete on the left side and the Chrome symbol on the left side. When you open the top, you'll see the 15.6-inch display encompassed by a thick bezel. The metal deck has speakers over the palm lays on each side of the keyboard. 

Most Chromebooks have 11 or 12 inch screens, so it's nothing unexpected that the Chromebook 15 has a greater impression. It's 14.9 x 10.1 x 0.8 inches and 3.7 pounds, which is eminently greater than the Asus Chromebook Flip C302CA (2.6 pounds, 11.9 x 8.3 x 0.6 inches) and the Samsung Chromebook Pro (2.4 pounds, 11.06 x 8.7 x 0.6 inches).

There's a Kensington bolt opening on the left side, while the correct side is home to a microSD card space and an earphone jack. 

Display

The display board on the Chromebook is nothing to run home about. Of course, it's huge, at 15.6-inches, and you won't discover numerous others that size. It likewise has a 1080p screen, which is uncommon on a Chromebook. In any case, it's not brilliant or especially beautiful.

When I viewed the most recent trailer for Ant-Man and the Wasp, I ended up hitting into the catch to expand splendor long after I had hit the maximum. Subterranean insect Man's red suit was a bit excessively dull, and it was difficult to make out the yellow in the Wasp's ensemble. 

Acer's Chromebook covers only 69 percent of the sRGB shading extent, not as much as the normal (79 percent) and results from the Chromebook Flip (76 percent) and Chromebook Pro (a brilliant 118 percent).

Keyboard and Touchpad 

Acer's keyboard is strong, particularly for a Chromebook. While the keyboard measures marginally shallow, at 1.4 millimeters of movement (we lean toward 1.5 millimeters of additional), it requires just 69 grams of power to press. It was somewhat bouncy for my preferring, yet it enabled me to hit my typical high of 117 words for every moment with my standard 2 percent blunder rate. 

The 4.1 x 3-inch keyboard is roomy, and it dependably reacted to Chrome OS signals like swiping three fingers to switch tabs and dragging three fingers down to demonstrate every open window.

Sound

When I tuned in to Jimmy Eat World's "The Middle," the vocals emerged among the blend and the guitars were fine, however the drums didn't have a great deal of effect and I couldn't make out the bass.

Battery Life 

Acer's Chromebook ought to get you as the day progressed. It persisted for 9 hours and 7 minutes on Battery Test, which consistently peruses the web, recordings and graphics benchmarks at 250 nits. That time is marginally not exactly the Chromebook normal (9:29), yet the Chromebook Flip (8:52) and Chromebook Pro (8:05) didn't keep going as long on our more seasoned, less demanding test.

Webcam

The Chromebook's 720p webcam completes an OK work, however I wish it were brighter.

Orgy observing some Netflix with the Chromebook on your lap? Forget about it. Acer's laptop remained cool in our testing.
