What is the Acer Chromebook 14?
Acer is one of very few manufacturers to fully embrace the wonderful world of Chromebooks. These stripped-down, simplified laptops use Google’s Chrome OS instead of Windows, with more of an emphasis on online work and play. And in the case of Acer’s collection, they come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes to suit your own personal needs. Sitting somewhere in the middle of this range is the Acer Chromebook 14.
When Trusted Reviews picked up the 2017 version of the Acer Chromebook 14, we found plenty to love. However, the meagre memory and low-res screen detracted from an otherwise great value package.
Thankfully, these issues have been addressed for the Chromebook 14 CB3-431-C5CQ, which doubles the memory and boasts a Full HD display for crisp visuals. So is this the ideal Chromebook and all-round portable pal?
Acer Chromebook 14 - Design and Build
The Chromebook 14 can’t transform into a tablet like Acer’s Spin 11, although I still like that simple-yet-sleek design, especially considering the low asking price. There’s a whiff of Apple MacBook stylings about this laptop, even though it’s less than a third of the price. A brushed metal finish on the lid makes it feel more premium, and that aluminium alloy chassis is solid throughout. No flex points or awkward joins to speak of.
This is certainly one of the larger Chromebooks we’ve tested out, although it doesn’t quite reach the bulk and weight of the 15.6-inch Chromebook 15. I didn’t have any trouble slipping the Chromebook 14 into my backpack, but smaller satchels will obviously struggle to accomodate. At 1.68kg, you’ll certainly feel it tugging on your shoulder too, even if it’s not too much of a chore to lug around. Of course if you’re after something for daily portable use, I’d recommend a more compact model like that Spin 11 instead.
Connectivity is also surprisingly limited, considering how much space is available along the sides. As far as USB ports go you only have dual 3.0 connections, both housed on the left edge. This gets particularly awkward when you need to slap in a bulky USB key and a mouse at the same time (just as one random example). And if you’re hoping for a Type-C port, you’re bang out of luck.
As some form of redemption you do get an HDMI port, but that’s it. No microSD memory card slots or anything else of note.

Acer Chromebook 14 - Keyboard and touchpad
That impressive build quality thankfully extends to the laptop’s keyboard and touchpad, just as it did on the Chromebook 15. If you’re after an affordable machine for smashing out endless essays, emails and other bits, you really can’t go wrong.
For one, the keyboard is pretty much perfectly sized. The chiclet arrangement gives each key plenty of space to breathe, so touch typing is a comfortable and intuitive experience. And while travel is limited, the board feels reassuringly firm and keys pop up instantly once hit.

Acer Chromebook 14 - Screen
One of the upgrades over the basic entry-level Chromebook 14 is that Full HD display, which is certainly a joy to use. Whatever you’re up to, be it editing documents or streaming a cheeky bit of telly when you’re supposed to be working, those visuals stay perfectly crisp.
Contrast is perfectly fine for a budget panel, so you can make out plenty of detail even on those murky Marvel shows. Colours are also quite punchy. Just don’t expect hyper realism.
Acer Chromebook 14 - Audio
Beneath the Chromebook 14 you’ll find a pair of stereo speakers, which fire your audio straight into your desk, lap or whatever else the device is sat on. Pretty standard for a budget laptop, although at least that audio is quite powerful. On top volume levels I had no trouble making out dialogue in movies or shows, even when watching in a noisy environment. Only the desperate wailings of a distraught three-year-old were enough to conquer that output.
As expected, however, the sound quality takes a dive on those top levels. For enjoying music you’ll want to plug in some ‘phones or a dedicated speaker.
