![]() Oh, and it’s not a touchscreen, so swiping web pages and tapping on links is out. That might prove annoying if you’re using it in a very bright room or direct sunlight, but on the plus side, the display does a great job mitigating glare. My number one complaint about the Chromebook 14’s screen is that it doesn’t get as bright as other laptops. The screen is sharp and reasonably color accurate (if a little on the dull and warm side). Displays are frequently an area where Chromebook makers skimp to hit an affordable price point, but I can’t really say that Acer has done so here. Open up the lid and you’re met with a 14-inch, 1080p IPS LCD. Even so, if you’ve got a messenger bag or backpack, it’s not like you’ll have any issue hauling Acer’s latest Chromebook to Starbucks. Nor is the Chromebook 14 particularly thin when closed, its lid sits ever-so-slightly higher than my 15-inch MacBook Pro, despite product dimensions claiming it’s only 0.67 inches - clearly Acer measured the laptop’s thinnest point. It’s nowhere close to MacBook or ultrabook territory. It weighs 3.42 pounds, which isn’t really toss-in-a-bag portable. Acer’s glossy metal logo contrasts nicely with the brushed-aluminum lid. The Chromebook 14 presents itself spectacularly well. ![]()
