As Chromebooks grow in popularity they are also growing in screen size. ACER'S CHROMEBOOK 13 joins a growing market of large-screen Chromebooks that make working on Google's OS much simpler. We review the ACERChromebook 13 laptop. Also see: Best Chromebooks 2015.

While Chromebooks continue to grow in popularity there’s also been another area of expansion worth noting: screen size. The majority of the Google-powered laptops have, until now, defaulted to the highly portable, but somewhat diddy, 11.6-inch format. This makes sense as they are generally intended to be second- or third machines that you give to the kids, or take places where a £1000 MacBook Air might be overkill or potent thief fodder.
