Chromebooks those laptops that run on Google's Chrome operating system are typically this size are smaller which makes this not your typical Chromebook I'm Josh Goldman with CNET and this is a quick look at a sirs Chromebook 15 that features at 15.6 inch LCD a Full HD one no less using an IPS panel that delivers good off angle viewing and minimal glare prices for this model started 249 but with this screen plus a new 5th gen Intel Celeron processor four gigs of memory and 32 gigs of flash storage it goes for 349 and frankly I wouldn't go with a lesser model the bigger screen means a bigger heavier body though so it's obviously not as travel friendly as the smaller Chromebooks but there is room for a larger battery we got just over seven hours of wireless video streaming so it should be no problem to push beyond that with less demanding use the new processor outperforms the last generation of Celoron for sure but still behind a new core i3 Chromebook the port assortment here is pretty standard but you do get bluetooth 4.0 and dual band 802 11 AC Wireless which is nice because the Chrome OS basically still lives and dies by the quality of your web connection I'm not crazy about the design including the use of all this space for speakers instead of more keyboard but that's a personal preference thing and at least the speakers sound good you can read the full review on sitcom but basically if you want to use Chrome OS on a bigger screen and still be mobile this is very good to go I'm Josh Goldman and that's a quick look at the Acer Chromebook 15
