What do critics say about the Acer Googlebook 14?
A great, light 2-in-1 with a beautiful OLED panel and the lowest price among Googlebooks.
A hugely likeable, fast and well-built laptop with a surprisingly capable new OS.
The hardware is premium, with a lovely OLED screen and strong performance, but the unfinished Googlebook OS undermines it.
