Our Verdict

HP Chromebook 14 (2021)

Acer Chromebook 516 GE (2022)

For most uses, the Acer Chromebook 516 GE (2022) is better than the HP Chromebook 14 (2021). The Acer has a sturdier build; a larger, sharper, and brighter 120Hz display; a better keyboard and touchpad; and a better webcam. It also has a wider port selection and is available with significantly faster CPUs. On the other hand, the HP is more portable, and its battery lasts much longer.
