![]() Otherwise, the keyboard’s size worked well for me and the key travel had enough depth to be satisfying. Although this is the Chromebook way, it’s a way that I will never appreciate. This mostly had to do with my inability to get used to the Caps Lock key being replaced with the search key. This is lower than when I took the test on a keyboard I’m familiar with and managed to hit 107 wpm. I took the typing test at on the Acer Chromebook 514 and managed to hit 88 words per minute with its keyboard. But with the Acer Chromebook 514, I felt right at home typing. It’s possible I’m used to smaller keyboards, as the previous laptop I tested ( MSI Prestige 14 Evo A12) had a huge keyboard, so I would underestimate the placement of keys and end up with garbled sentences full of nonsense. ![]() The Acer Chromebook 514’s black keyboard is a little smaller than others I’ve tested, but it worked just fine for me. Acer Chromebook 514 keyboard and touchpad ![]() Once again, this is significantly lower than the Chromebook average brightness of 294 nits and Flex 5 (260), but it did better than the Spin 514 (209 nits). The Acer Chromebook 514 didn’t do much better in our screen brightness test, hitting a low average of 224 nits. This is significantly below the Chromebook average of 70% and just slightly worse than the Lenovo Flex 5 (47%), but it did a little better than the Acer Chromebook Spin 514 (42.8%). The Acer Chromebook 514’s colorimeter tests show that the display is truly lacking, only covering 46.2% of the DCI-P3 color gamut. The saturation also looked really off, with faces appearing unrealistically cool with little depth to the colors. Even during a daylight scene when a giant crocodile dinosaur munched on a cage at sea, it seemed held back by the hardware’s lacking nits. At maximum brightness in a dark room, it felt like there was a transparent black layer over the display. I watched the trailer for Jurassic World: Dominion and quickly noticed how dim the Acer Chromebook 514’s display is.
