Acer Chromebook 516 Ge Cloud Gaming Laptop Review

The case is just the right size for my 14" Acer Chromebook & will prove invaluable when I am travelling.

I purchased this for my Acer Predator Helios 500 gaming laptop and it works perfectly! It arrived early and was easy to install. *Tip* - you can find easy installation instructions available online at crucial.com. I highly recommend this product and, moreover, B&H as a seller. Great product with quick and easy service!

I believe Acer is one of the best values in laptops. But with value comes some compromises. For this purchase, I was just looking at raw specifications and wanted top-of-the-line or near-top for a 16 gaming laptop. (I was fine with a 13th gen Intel CPU b/c there really isn't any meaningful improvement to the 14th gen, so buying a laptop that has been out for a year is an even better way to save money). This laptop has fantastic performance - I use it to game and for video/audio editing via Premiere. I can run any game I care to play at max settings. The screen is surprisingly vibrant, even though it's not the mini-led. Be aware that battery life for this laptop (and most upper-end gaming laptops in general) is pretty atrocious (2, MAYBE 3 hours under light usage). If you plan to do anything processor/GPU intensive on battery alone..., it's not going to happen. This laptop is happiest being plugged in and acting as a desktop replacement more than a true laptop that you're going to carry around all the time. I love it because I can take it with me when I travel and have an awesome machine with a small(er) footprint. This laptop isn't the most quiet (the fans can get pretty raucous), it isn't the best-looking, and doesn't have the best thermals, but it is, in my opinion, a great buy at a very reasonable price if you understand what these types of machines are like.

I bought some really bad (very brittle) replacement nibs for acer chromebook / samsung s-pen on amazon that I returned right away. I read on reddit that wacom one nib can also work. Happy to report these do work as EMR stylus tips with s-pen, staedtler digital pen, chromebook. I can't guarantee for you, but it worked for me.

I recently purchased an Acer R !1 Chromebook and wanted a wireless Mouse to use with this product. I am not a big fan of track pads. The one on this computer works fine, but I wanted a mouse. It worked right out of the box once I inserted the USB dongle that communicated with the mouse. It scrolls well. Fits well in your hand. It is an excellent product. The price is right as well. You always know if B and H sells it it works!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the USB-C Multimedia Adapter because I travel and do presentations. I set up training presentations on a laptop or Chromebook. Then I use either an available Moniter or TV. Often some are older or don't have the same media attachment as my laptop or Chromebook. With the Multimedia Adapter I never have to worry about not being able to connect to give my presentations. There is nothing worse than to have a room full of people that are paying you to conduct a training and you look like you are not competent enough to connect a PC to a TV or projector. This Adapter has already been a lifesaver once and I am sure it will be again. It is just super convenient.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works to charge both my Lenovo laptop and Chromebook at a decent speed. Very similar to the original cords that came with those devices. Can’t speak to durability yet but hoping it will last.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The HyperX Cloud Stinger Gaming head set has been wonderful, I can play games, listen to music or watch movies quietly for everyone else around me, but with awesome sound for me. The design is comfortable, light weight and isn't constantly slipping where I have to re-adjust them! I highly recommend this head set for anyone looking!!
