The humble Chromebook may be a tough sell to creatives and other users who have become used to the constant march of technology. Why would you want a low-powered laptop that’s limited to web and Android apps (plus Linux if you don’t mind fiddling about a bit) with a relatively low-res screen in 2024?
The fact is that, compared to many of the best laptops for graphic design and the gaming laptops that come out with increasing speed, a Chromebook is a bargain, and one that can deal with much of the office work that comes with running a studio as well as being a capable browsing machine that can handle a little photo editing too. When you’re only paying £350 for a second machine to complement your MacBook, you’re not looking for excellent performance, you’re looking for versatility, and that’s what Acer provides here.
