Acer Chromebook 11
Acer introduced the Chromebook 11 CB3-111 series in late 2014 as a replacement for the incredibly popular C720 series of Chromebooks. The C720 series were the top selling Chromebooks for most of 2013, and Acer continues to be a top Chromebook brand with the CB3-111 series.
The Acer Chromebook 11 is an entry level Chromebook with basic features. It features a light and fairly durable design at a very low price point. List price starts at just under $200, but you can often find this Chromebook on sale for considerably less.
The Acer Chromebook 11's Intel Celeron N2830 processor and 2 GB of RAM is standard equipment on many entry-level Chromebooks but is no powerhouse. The 11 inch, 1366x768 screen is good sized, but the quality of the screen leaves much to be desired. The standard LCD display has narrow viewing angles and not nearly as much brightness as more expensive Chromebooks that feature IPS displays.
This Chromebook model should meet the needs of most people who just want to surf the web, watch Netflix, and do simple tasks. It's light enough to just throw in a backpack or bag and cheap enough to not worry too much about breaking it. If you are looking to do more serious work on your Chromebook or use it as your daily driver, you may want to look at a model with more RAM and a better screen.
