Specs
Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pros
Pro Large stereo speakers
The extra room in the chassis means that Acer was able to fit in two large speakers on the sides of the keyboard.
Pro Reasonable battery life
Being that this is a 15" device, there is more room to fit a larger battery. Though the 15" IPS display has to be taken into consideration that it will drain battery faster than a 13 or 11 inch screened model. So all in all it eventually equals out to the same time span as a smaller model.
Pro IPS 1080p display
Good viewing angles and an anti-glare coating on its 1080p IPS display.
Pro Good keyboard and trackpad
The keys on the keyboard feel responsive for chiclet keys and the trackpad is very large and exact.
Pro Light
Unexpectedly the Acer Chromebook 15 is lighter than some 13 or 11 inch models.
Pro Solid build quality
Even though Chromebooks are known to be cheap, the build quality of the Acer Chromebook 15 is solid.
Pro Lightweight
2.37 pounds.
Pro Windows 10
Windows 10 Home in S Mode, this can be switched to Windows 10 Home, you can not switch back however.
Pro Battery life
Battery life: up to 9 hours.
Cons
Con May be too large
This is a large device, using the standard cheap plastic casing found in most Chromebooks, at this size can hamper portability.
At 5 pounds, this device will not be a joy to pick up one handed nor carry around.
Con Not much storage
32 GB is a bit pathetic these days, but you can always use an external USB drive or a microSD card of course.
