Acer Googlebook 14 evaluate: The AI isn’t the most effective half


That comparability isn’t totally apples-to-apples, although. Right here’s why.

The Chromebook Plus 516 has the Core i3-1315U, which is a good finances CPU (2 efficiency cores, 4 effectivity cores). That stated, the Googlebook’s Core Extremely 5 325 is far newer, with 4 efficiency cores and 4 effectivity cores, and is paired with 16GB of RAM moderately than 8GB. No marvel it blew the Chromebook Plus out of the water!

By way of {hardware}, the Acer Googlebook 14 is definitely fairly near the Dell XPS 14. They’ve each bought an Intel Core Extremely 5 325 (“Panther Lake”) processor, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of SSD storage. However the Googlebook has a a lot nicer show, and it’s additionally lighter and extra versatile as a result of 360-degree hinge. The Dell is significantly costlier, too, at $1,409.99 (as examined). We didn’t run these web-based assessments on the XPS 14, so I can’t make a direct efficiency comparability. 

The largest {hardware} benefit, although, is the show. The Googlebook has a 14-inch OLED touchscreen, and it’s completely beautiful.
