I really love my Asus Chromebook! very impressed with its use and its pretty display, I'll never need another laptop.. serves all my purposes.. from word processing to media.

Coming from a MacBook pro I am super stoked with my new Chromebook. It has a modern sleek design not much unlike my 2015 MacBook pro and it doubles as an Android tablet. Only thing I don't like about it is its lack of a backlit keyboard.

Not being an electronic geek, I am have some challenges in learning how to use this chrome book. Haven't found the delete button yet!

The Chromebook R13 (CB5-312T) is the latest 13-inch Chromebook 2-in-1 from Acer. Costing around £400, this laptop/tablet is a cheap and cheerful device that's designed to tackle the basics with minimum fuss.

Excellent; if a little dark; Full HD display; Above your average Chromebook for performance; Decent battery life; A better value buy than most Chromebooks

Unlit keyboard flexes in the middle and feels cheap; Only really good for writing; email; Netflix; iPlayer

"Hi this is a great piece of kit slim/ touch screen/ And can be used in any position. Very fast great HD screen. The only slight issue is its a bit heavy but no problem "

The only way the battery on my new Chromebook would last 12 hours is if it was switched off. At 100% charge, after only a few weeks of very light use, emails and web pages, with bluetooth off, and all programs except Chrome closed, the battery meter shows as 9.12 hours and within a couple of minutes...

This is my first experience with a Chromebook, and it's been positive so far. This is a good computer for web based activity. Great battery life and quick to boot up. The one downside is that it's a bit heavier than I expected, but not too bad for use around the house.

Acer's extensive range of Chromebooks is divided into two main product lines: models with a conventional laptop design and devices with an 'R' prefix, which indicates a convertible design with a reversible screen that can be used as both a laptop and a tablet.

Full HD IPS touchscreen; Slimline but sturdy convertible chassis; All-day battery life

Only 64GB of internal storage

The Acer Chromebook R 13 will get you through the day on a single charge with its excellent battery life, but it's no performance powerhouse – even compared to rivaling Chromebooks.

Excellent battery life; Competitive hardware specs

Unimpressive performance; Shell flexes too easily

A premium 2-in-1 Chromebook with some superb standout features

Impressive battery life; Aluminium encased design; ChromeOS works beautifully with 2-in-1s; Decent keyboard and trackpad; Android support

No support for Windows apps; Fairly heavy; No keyboard backlighting
