Our take on the Acer Chromebook Plus 515 15.6 Touch

The Acer Chromebook Plus 515 is a 15.6-inch Chrome OS laptop with a 1920x1080 IPS touchscreen, an Intel Core i3-1305U, 8 GB of LPDDR5X memory and a 256 GB SSD. It is one of the larger Chromebook Plus models, a class Google defines with minimum specs for performance and AI features built into Chrome OS. The big screen and touch input suit students, home users and light office work more than frequent travelers, since a 15.6-inch laptop is bulky to carry. Against smaller Chromebook Plus models it trades portability for screen space; against budget Windows laptops it offers simpler upkeep and faster booting but less native desktop software.
