Still, if you really like everything else here you can grab a portable battery charger to make it through the day. That sounds like a decent number for a Windows PC, but it's fairly bad for a Chromebook. I was able to get a maximum of around 7 hours of use during my testing period. Either way, I struggled mightily to get the 10 hours of use that Acer advertises on the specs page.

Of course I enjoy running Linux apps on my Chromebook as well, using GIMP and Kdenlive for some light photo and video editing. Acer did not have any input in any part of this review.
The 360-degree convertible use modes enable you to present or share your screen in more convenient and collaborative ways, while also allowing you work in areas with limited space such as on a plane or train.
