Acer Chromebook Plus 516 GE has a 16-inch display with 2560x1600 resolution, 16:10 aspect ratio, 120Hz refresh rate.

A 256 GB SSD is plenty for a device that will mostly rely on Google cloud storage.

Acer packed some nice physical features into this machine, including a keyboard with nearly ideal key sizes, nice spacing between the keys.

Acer Chromebook Plus 516 GE is an excellent game-streaming laptop, regardless of its performance.

It's able to pull in games you own from third -party marketplaces like Steam and Epic.

Its regular everyday performance is fine, too, too.

I was more impressed by GeForce Now , but with the caveat that I was using the Ultimate subscription tier, which runs your games on an RTX 4080.

Acer Chromebook Plus 516 GE has excellent battery life for a laptop.

It's a Chromebook Plus Plus laptop with access to Google ’s best Gemini artificial intelligence features.

I don’t think anyone needs AI to help them write emails or create desktop wallpapers.
