Acer Chromebook 317 Opinion of two minutes
ACER CHROMEBOOK 317 is the first 17.3-inch chromebook on the market, which will be one of its greatest points of sale because other than its size and 1080p display, there is not much about of this chromet that impresses.
It is currently available in the United States for $ 399 (approximately 279 £ 560), although you can find it as little as $ 329 (about 230 £, 460 £) in retailers such as Walmart. Unfortunately, it is not available in the UK or Australia for the moment, although we will update this review if it changes.
As for the Acer Chromebook 317, the quality of construction does not allow you to remember that you hold a lot of plastic and that the large weight of the 5.29 lb, a 15.1-inch laptop of width will certainly give your Cuffs A workout during recovery a table.
The display is decent for a 1080p and, Hallujah, it offers leading speakers, although it does not do much to help sound quality.

It also has Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity, you can connect basic devices such as headphones or wireless mouse without too many problems.
The life of the battery was also respectable for a 17.3-inch machine, because larger screens are major drains on a battery life. That said, it did not hit us, but it lasted as long as a battery of 56quks should last, which can not be said of some other laptops.
For a laptop this thickness, we expected many ports and that the Chromebook 317 serves at a respectable quantity, and even if it left the HDMI port, the USB Type-C type presents a DisplayPort output if you need an external monitor.
The inclusion of two USB Type-C ports and two USB-A ports is definitely an advantage in the Acer Chromebook 317 column. For a laptop at this price, Acer would have got a pass if it happened with only two USB ports type C, which would have forced you to carry an additional docking station for all your USB-A devices and flash drives. Fortunately, Acer we spared this note.
With regard to the webcam and the microphone, you consult the standard 720p webcam that most laptops still use, although it should be noted that there is no closure of physical privacy on The webcam, which should really be the industry standard in 2021.

As for the performance, Acer Chromebook 317 is swinging for the contact and it manages to get on the base. The Intel Celeron N4500 Dual-Core processor (only 1.10 GHz) with Intel UHD Built-in Graphics can not handle a lot as you throw it, especially if you throw it to Chromebook 317 at a time.
But if you are just looking for something to broadcast movies on your sofa or on a flight, you are looking to make productivity or cloud blogs, you will be able to do it with the Chromebook 317.
We must really focus on the cloud part of this statement. With only 4 GB LPDDR4X RAM and 64GB EMMC storage, there is no one batch that you can perform locally with this device other than sting around the Google Play store and see what you can get away from storage Flash Chromebook 317.
Fortunately, the undernourished material means that the life of the battery is strong enough. In our cinema test, Acer Chromebook 317 managed seven respectable hours 48 minutes on average, but it also managed to get only nine hours of nine hours at a single race.
