Product Information

The Acer Chromebook 317 is an easy choice for a WFH Chromebook that is rarely if ever going to leave your home. The inclusion of two USB Type-C and two USB Type-A ports is definitely a plus in the Acer Chromebook 317's column. When you're looking for the best 17-inch laptop, you really do need to ask what you're looking to do with your device. The poor battery life and low torsional stiffness of the plastic enclosure make it unsuitable for mobile use.

There is a large, tenkey keyboard that gives you ample room to type, which is a genuinely good experience, though its not the most responsive feeling keyboard we've used and the trackpad can sometimes feel like you're running your fingers over double-sided tape. You want the best gaming performance around: With an Intel Core i9-13980HX and an Nvidia RTX 4090 mobile GPU and DLSS 3, no game will put up much of a fight here. If a laptop is intended for gaming, we'll also run benchmarks from Guardians of the Galaxy, The Rift Breaker(CPU and GPU) and Shadow of the Tomb Raider. With a generous 13-hour battery life, this Chromebook won't need frequent charging, and its sturdy aluminum build has MIL-STD 810H certification to survive the rigors of daily use. Combined with the large touchpad, optional backlit keyboard, and integrated numeric keypad, users can enjoy an extra boost to their productivity.The Lenovo Duet Chromebook (aka Chromebook Duet 3) is an awesome little 11-inch ChromeOS tablet with a detachable keyboard and touchpad.
