Review on 🔍 Acer Chromebook 514 CB514-1HT-C6EV: 14" Full HD Touch, 4GB LPDDR4, 64GB eMMC, Backlit Keyboard by Frankye Sherman

This is probably the best $400 Chromebook on the market right now. Unfortunately I had to send mine back. The display has a good Full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 with bright, crisp colors. The keyboard is great. The trackpad is large and responsive. Browsing the Internet is very fast. I tested this machine with Octane 2 and got around 12000 points. Not bad for a Celeron. So. why I sent it back. The problem was that the Chromebook I received had two manufacturing defects. The case is aluminum, which is great, but the bottom edge of my case was sharp all around. I think the aluminum body was a fraction of a millimeter wider. It wasn't sharp enough to be cut, but gave the Chromebook an unfinished feel. The second issue was that the trackpad was loose. It worked well, but when you pressed (which you often do on Chromebooks), the trackpad rattled slightly. I thought I could live with that but the more I used it the more it drove me crazy. I hope these build issues only happened on the Chromebook I received and all other Acer 514's don't have this issue.
