Acer Chromebook Plus 514 (2023) vs Acer Chromebook Plus 515 (2023)

The Acer Chromebook Plus 514 (2023) and the Acer Chromebook Plus 515 (2023) are both budget Chromebooks that provide a similar user experience overall. The 515 feels snappier and more responsive because its Intel CPUs are faster than the 514's AMD Ryzen processors; however, it has shorter battery life, lasting around eight hours of light use, almost two hours shorter than the 514. The 514 has arguably a better display—although both laptops have an FHD panel, the 514 looks sharper since it's a smaller screen. Also, the 514 has a 16:10 aspect ratio, which is better suited for productivity than the 515's standard 16:9 format, as you can see more information at once when reading a document or website.
