For those looking for a minimal and fast laptop that just concentrates on email, browsing, video and a business suite you can't go wrong with a chromebook. They just work brilliantly well. This model looks stunning in its brushed aluminium case and mac style design. Battery life is phenomenal at well over 12hrs. A great alternative to a bloated windows laptop with slow boot times and more problematic operation. 2GB main memory and 16GB SSD may seem low but as long as your are not planning to use a huge number of apps and play your music and videos off a network or internet there shouldn't be any problems. I configured google print eventually and it works great allowing wireless and remote printing without problems with great results and compatibility. A laptop you can use all day without recharging. Decent 14" size screen, great sound quality and very thin and light it looks like something that cost a lot more than its sub £100 price. Don't forget to go through topcashback for a couple of quid.


The Acer 14 CB3-431 Chromebook is ideal for on the go computing, highly portable with its slim, sleek and compact design. Whether you’re working or playing the Chromebook has you covered with an impressive battery life and with an anti-glare screen you can view comfortably from wherever you are.

Equipped with a 16GB hard drive there’s plenty of space to store your media, watch a film or share music with friends.

STUNNING STYLE & STRENGTH

The Acer 14 CB3-431 Chromebook is absolutely stunning encased in aluminium alloy, giving it style, strength and durability. With a thickness of just 23.6cm and weighing in at only 1.6kg this Acer Chromebook is highly portable and with such a durable design why would you not take it everywhere?

Can the RAM be upgraded?

I don't think the memory or storage can be upgraded. I think they are solded to the motherboard but not sure. You could however upgrade storage using either of the high speed usb 3.0 ports.

Acer claim up to 12hrs for all models of this series but I think the claim is true of the quad core models, with 4GB memory, 32GB storage and a 1080p display but this model gets a few extra hours so there is a bonus to having a lower spec as it shares the same battery as the higher priced models.

Would this be good for using Microsoft office on for writing essays and adding images etc.

I have this same model. Pay the extra. Go HD. The screens not great.
Having said that... I never touch my windows laptop now !

Do you have a link / ref that I can look at, I'm not sure what reference it is. I'd go for same specs if I can.

how do you use kodi on a chromebook? which software version do you download?
bonzobanana to EN1GMA
7y 31d #26
I think you can run the google app store in beta mode rather than stable or you could dual boot with a linux installation or maybe you could run a webserver kodi installation on another device in your home.

Are you sure about this? I have the full HD, 4gb ram and better CPU model and there's no app store support and even Google's website says there isn't any support for it??
bonzobanana to daniielnayylor
7y 31d #64
It has server side support so once you enable it on your chromebook (which isn't official yet) it is supported by the play store. Info to do it here;

Not as easy as you can see from the instructions. However it should be available officially soon.

I just put my Acer cb3-431 4gb model into beta channel and immediately just got the option to use the app store in the settings 😁

Great news. Hopefully that's true for the whole range of CB3-431 models.

Them calling it "beta" should be a warning to people who want to use it though, it's buggy as hell, the app stores interface is awful (I guess because it's designed for smartphones) and every minute it will crash but the apps seem to work perfectly, typed up some work on Microsoft word, played some hearthstone and was watching top gear through the netflix at perfectly.
bonzobanana to daniielnayylor
7y 30d #71
I guess once it's registered as an android device on your google account you can just use any browser to send apps to the chromebook or does that not work because its a chromebook and have to use the app store.

Went to my mother's house today and updated hers so she could use android apps. She can now use Skype. Seems pretty good.

Yeah it's not bad, all the apps I've used seem to work perfectly and the games run really well

I actually think the screen is fine, its better than my Toshiba 720p laptop screen and another Acer windows laptop I've seen but yes the 720p screen isn't as nice as having a 1080p screen. I think the main limitation is the 2GB memory which is still fast enough as long as you don't open too many windows tabs. The 4GB option is a good upgrade but I still think this is a fantastic introduction to chromebooks for little money and fit for purpose for most people. While more limited than a windows laptop it just does what it does soo much better. The speed, the hassle free approach and the laptop design and build quality is gorgeous.
