Acer 315 15.6″ Chromebook Intel Celeron N4500 1.1GHz 4GB RAM 64GB Flash Chrome OS (Renewed)

Hidden Gem with low price!
I purchased this for my son to use for his daily homeschooling needs. This laptop was one of the best finds in a LONG time! It was practically like new for a very low price! It had no scratches or dents, everything that came with it including the charger works wonderfully and has since we purchased it several weeks ago. The ease of setup and use is perfect, the quality of the laptop is excellent, it runs fast, great graphics, my son can even play Roblox on it pretty well, it has some lagging but that is to be expected from a non-gaming computer. I hope the quality lasts a long time. Will update before the 12 month mark.

Solid Chromebook with decent performance, not the greatest screen though…
Until this Chromebook, I used my iPhone and/or iPad for almost all of my computing needs. That has worked out well enough for me, but sometimes it’s just easier to use something with a proper keyboard. I stumbled across this refurbished Acer 315 going for $99, and figured that it was worth a shot. I came in perfect condition – looked brand new out of the box. Setup was easy, and chromeOS and a handful of Android apps are a decent – but occasional – alternative to the iOS ecosystem. My only complaint with this device is the screen – it’s big and clear enough, but the viewing angles leave much to be desired. If not viewed head on, the on screen images become quickly washed out or dark. To me that’s a small price to pay since this isn’t my workhorse, but there are undoubtedly Chromebooks out there with better screens.

Simple, fast, smooth and affordable!
I’ve been using my refurbished Chromebook (“excellent’) for about three weeks, and am so pleased with it. It is fast, intuitive, has a generous, bright display and operates so smoothly. This for a third of what I paid in 2017 for my Acer Aspire E15, which cannot run Windows 11 and in any case had become cumbersome and frustrating functionally. I am a basic user — e-mail, writing, light social media use — and this Chromebook suits me well. Syncing to Android phone even gives me access to text messages on my Chromebook, which may be overkill, but which is nonetheless nice for when I misplace my phone (which never happens, right?) I love that it starts without a hitch upon opening, and shuts down quickly; it all just feels so much faster, simpler and streamlined than the old Windows Acer, and according to research before buying, I’ll have support for this Chromebook for at least five years. Nice, too, to learn more about Google Drive and storing files and photos in the cloud (15GB free), rather than cluttering my own computer. Finally, as a matter of principle, it’s nice to have a refurbished product that is good as new without contributing to the production of new electronics. Speaking of which, Staples will recycle your old hardware at no cost; that’s where I took my old Acer laptop. Highly recommend this refurbished Chromebook in excellent condition!

Light, efficient, big 15.6″ screen. Good deal.
It’s a refurb, but it looked and acted brand new. Registration as a new device was easy using my Android phone. There was 43 GB of internal storage available, and a microSD card slot for more. I will be using it for traveling, checking email, web browsing, writing documents, so I can leave my heavy Windows laptop at home. I like the large 15.6″ screen. It is relatively light (2 ounces more than the stated 3.5 pounds) and power efficient. I won’t even take the charger, it charges just fine on my USB-C phone charger. It’s inexpensive enough that I decided not to buy the extended warranty.
