Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is probably the best $400 Chromebook on the market right now. Unfortunately, I had to return mine. The display is a nice full HD 1920 x 1080 with bright crisp color. The keyboard is excellent. The trackpad is large and responsive. Browsing the web is very quick. I benchmarked this machine with Octane 2 and got a score of around 12000. Not bad for a Celeron. So... why did I send it back. The problem was that the Chromebook I received had two manufacturing flaws. The case is aluminum which is great, but the bottom edge of my case had a sharp edge going all way around. I think the aluminum case was a fraction of a millimeter too wide. It wasn't sharp enough to cut, but it gave the Chromebook an unfinished feel. The second problem was that the trackpad was loose. It worked fine, but when you tapped (which you do a lot on Chromebooks), the trackpad rattled slightly. I thought I could live with it, but the more I used it, the more crazy it made me. Hopefully, these build problems were only on the Chromebook that I received and all the other Acer 514s do not have these issues.
