Our expert review

A nice Chromebook that you can use to perform heavy tasks

  • Smooth cloud gaming
  • Nice RGB backlit keyboard
  • Nice system with useful functions
  • The laptop is quite large

The Acer Chromebook 516 GE (CBG516-1H-560S) is an ideal laptop for gaming, photo editing and other heavy tasks. It starts up quickly and you can switch smoothly between demanding programs. The laptop is on the large side, which makes it more difficult to take it with you.

Appearance and size
This Chromebook has a sleek design with a nice gaming keyboard. The most important keys have a nice edge, which makes them stand out even more. The keyboard also has RGB lighting, so I can set a different color for every game. The RGB keyboard can be adjusted in 4 zones. This Chromebook has a 16-inch screen, which I think is on the large side.

Display
The screen of this Chromebook is of good quality. For example, the Chromebook has a
WQXGA screen, so I can see all the details clearly. In addition, the Chromebook has a refresh rate of 120 hertz. My own laptop has a 60Hz refresh rate, so I could see the difference very well. During games I see the fast-moving images smoothly around my screen. This way I didn't miss a single detail.

Gaming
I enjoy gaming on this Chromebook. Thanks to the powerful processor, games open easily and the laptop does not stutter. I also played more demanding games via the cloud. For example, I played League of Legends via GeForce Now, but there are also plenty of other games that I stream via the cloud. The Chromebook does not stutter and I can easily play games on large servers.

Multitasking
Because this Chromebook has a more powerful processor, I can switch very smoothly between different demanding programs. For example, I can smoothly edit raw photos via the web version of Adobe Photoshop, while I have a lot of other apps open at the same time.

Operating system
A Chromebook always runs on ChromeOS. This operating system works differently than Windows or macOS, but I found the system to work very well. I could easily access all my files via Google Drive, and I was logged in quickly. In addition, there are nice built-in functions that I really liked. This way the background changed automatically when it got dark.

Battery life
The battery of this Chromebook lasts a very long time. I used this Chromebook for several working days without having to charge it in between. This made it easy for me to take the Chromebook with me, without having to worry about a power socket nearby.

Super-fast powerhouse

  • Super fast
  • Screen brightness
  • Weight
  • Placement of bottom speaker

The Acer 516 GE is, as expected, super fast. Exactly what I look for in a Chromebook. The screen is a lot brighter than my previous chromebook, the Acer Chromebook 15 CB515-1HT-P9M1. The speaker layout is illogical. Two speakers are on the bottom. They are muffled by my legs when used "lap", which makes things sound a bit duller. When used at a table, the sound is fine.
