Background

The Acer Chromebook 315, released in late 2022, is part of a series of laptops produced by Acer that utilize ChromeOS as an operating system. ChromeOS-based laptops or "Chromebooks" are known for being very affordable, simple, lightweight and easy to use. This makes them very popular for use in schools and other educational institutions. In particular, the Acer Chromebook CB315-3HT-C3FQ features a very compact design which can easily fit into a schoolbag, while still retaining a screen size of 15.6 inches.

The Acer Chromebook has entry-level hardware, such as 4GB of LPDDR4 Ram and an Intel Celeron n4020 dual-core processor. these give an adequate performance for simple web-based tasks and multitasking, but not much more than that. It features 2 USB 3.0 ports, as well as 2 Micro-USB ports. However, there is no ethernet cable, which means to use your chromebook you will need to have a wireless internet connection (WiFi). The Acer Chromebook 315 has a battery life of ~12.5 hours, which is plenty of time needed to get through a school day where this would typically be used.

Identification

Distinguishing the Chromebook from other Acer Chromebooks in the CB315-3H series is fairly easy-- simply look for the model number on the back of the Chromebook, it should say "CB315-3HT-C3FQ".
