ASUS Chromebook CX15 vs Acer Chromebook 315

Both are 15.6-inch ChromeOS laptops with 4GB RAM and a 1080p screen, so the choice comes down to ports, storage and input. The ASUS CX15 gives you 128GB of storage, Wi-Fi 6, HDMI, dual USB-C, a 180-degree hinge and MIL-STD 810H durability, with up to 13 hours of battery. The Acer Chromebook 315 adds a touchscreen and a dedicated number pad, but has 64GB of storage, a slower Celeron N4500 and shorter rated battery life. Owners rate both 4.3 out of 5, though the Acer has far more ratings behind that score.

• Choose the ASUS Chromebook CX15 if you want more storage, Wi-Fi 6, HDMI and a sturdier build for school or remote work.
• Choose the Acer Chromebook 315 if you want a touchscreen and a number pad for spreadsheets and data entry.
