Background
The Acer Chromebook 315 is designed for mobile life, professionals, small business, school education, and commercial enterprise, built-in with a fast CPU and long battery life. It comes with 32 or 64 GB of internal disk space and 4 or 8 GB of high-bandwidth RAM to smoothly run multiple applications and browser tabs all at once. 64GB flash memory is ideal for mobile devices and applications because it provides enhanced storage capabilities, data management, quick boot-up times and support for high-definition video playback.
With a 15.6” anti-glare screen, it features an HD 720p front-facing camera with a built-in microphone, allowing for smooth and clear conversations held online, and a touch screen that support zooming in and out of tabs.
Nearly 20 million chromebooks are sold each year and it is a widely used device, especially in educational and business settings. It's consumer focused device is powered by an Intel Celeron N4120 with a base clock speed of 1.1 GHz. Reviewers find the laptop offers good value for the price and easy to use, high appreciation for its great battery life which allows them to work for a full day, and satisfaction with the screen size and quality. However, some customers dislike the game functionality, used for gaming apps, and have mixed opinions on the laptop's functionality and camera quality.
The base models of the Acer Chromebook 315 can struggle under load due to their low-end processors, causing slow performance; the 4GB RAM version experiences frequent slowdowns when multiple tabs are open. Some other issues many user have reported are:
- Washed-out colors on the display, making text and images appear less sharp. Additionally, the screen brightness is poor (~220 nits), making it difficult to use in bright environments.
- Since some models come with a touchscreen, users have encountered issues with laggy or unresponsive touch input.
- Another common issue is battery drain, even when the laptop is not in use or turned off, suggesting that the battery is weaker compared to other laptops.
- The hinges are weak, which is problematic given the plastic chassis. The overall build quality is fragile, and users have reported screen wobbling over time due to the lack of strong hinge support.
