Im unsure why theres bad reviews, but I wouldnt listen to them. I actually decided on this computer while at Best Buy where I was able to look and touch the computer before purchasing. Ive been using Microsoft/HP my ENTIRE life. I was extremely unsure about a chromebook. I went back and forth with myself for weeks. But let me say this, if youre an android lover, this chromebook will come as a second nature. Its based off the Google play store, and some of the features are great! (Like, if you have your phone unlocked nearby, you do not have to input a password to your computer.) Biggest selling points was the screen size. Most of the chromebooks I found are much smaller and this has a HUGE screen with such beautiful quality. The display settings also offer a night light/blue light filter which I absolutely LOVE about it! Battery life is great and just all around great computer. Speed is lightning fast, I actually expected less. I have nothing bad to say about this laptop. If you havent bought it already, Im not sure what youre waiting for.

I love this Chromebook. The price was great, the screen is nice and large, battery life lasts a long time and it isnt heavy. This works great for school and fits all of my needs. I havent come across a situation where I needed a PC or different system. Im very pleased with getting a 2018 model for under $200, especially with the screen size. The speakers are nicer than the last Chromebook model I had as well. Im very happy with this purchase.

For 90 percent of the populous this will more than meet your demands. Extremely fast startup. More like instant. Picture quality is great. Operational speed very fast. Metal case. Automatically updates. Many apps available for it. No viruses. If you are tired of windows short comings and you mostly do internet based usage, then this is what you want. Low price to boot! In my opinion its a win win.

Chromebook fanatic. Have several. This is an upgrade from 3 yr old 15" Chromebook. Faster. Brilliant colors. Improved keyboard. For $200 you cant go wrong. REVISED to 3 stars. Downgraded for low screen resolution. While it is faster than my 2 yr old Chromebook with same size screen the resolution is 1366 x 768 vs 1920 x 1080 on the older computer. At first I thought it was just my eyes but I have tweaked as much as possible and it still isnt as clear as I would prefer. I have owned several Acers over the last few years but this may be my last one. Asus is (in my opinion) a much better computer albeit at a higher price. About $150 more than this Acer but it comes with more storage and a higher resolution screen. It is also faster than the Acer.

Having used HP laptops for years, through various operating systems, I decided to try a Chromebook because I simply cant stand Windows 10. Its slow, ponderous, and takes forever to update. The price of this computer was a definite plus. Its quick and agile, and Im very comfortable with the Android OS. It took fewer than 5 minutes to set up this computer, from the time I plugged it in until I turned it off. For the big stuff I still have my desktop computer (also Acer), but I can see myself using this laptop gem for a lot more tasks. I feel this was a wise decision and purchase.

Amazing great inexpensive Chromebook! I purchased this for my in-laws that are not at all techies to replace a dog slow old Dell laptop, and they absolutely love it! I am very impressed with the quality of it and the performance for basic functions such as email, web surfing, YouTube videos etc. Setup was a breeze! ChromeOS found the local USB printer and got it working right away automatically. The build quality is solid for a basic 15.6 inch laptop. The battery life is great (12 hours). The screen quality is perfectly good as well. Nice snappy little laptop!

Previously had a Mac laptop computer and have the iPad and iMac needed a laptop to write while recovering from surgery. Purchased this as a temporary fix. It is really a nice computer and for the price would be great for college students. If you are used to typing fast of the mac youll find this different. Most actions involve two key steps. For an unknown reason when typing fast I find the cursor moves up and I have to stop and re position it. Could be user error....

Bought this for my 84 year old mother. I bought her one in 2015 she loved it. It got a lot of use by a lot of people. Im sure it just needs a new battery and the bottom battery port. The bottom is because a family member messed with it and cracked it not acers issue. but, because it is a 2015 there are not a lot of parts for me to fix it and she really missed surfing the web.. which is what chromebooks are great for! The battery life lasted 4 days before she had to recharge. She wasnt on it a lot this week. But the battery is a lot longer lasting than the 2015. it is wonderful for her to do what she does, goes on facebook, pay bills, and clicks on stuff that would give a normal laptop a virus! but, since Chromebooks run everything through a sandbox , they dont get viruses. I have the c720 from 5 years ago and im using it to put up this review. they update regularly and quickly by time you restart it has updated. Everything you used to do on Windows , Chrome has google docs and other programs for that. i do not miss windows one bit. Great machine at a great price! love Acers Google Chromebooks.

At first it seems like a great laptop for the price. After about a week the computer started to slow down drastically. The OS is interesting to use and a lot of simple tasks become complicated because of the limitations of the OS. The computer runs alright when only one tab is open but once multiple tabs are opened the computer runs real slow and pages load super slow. I bought this because I fried my MacBook and needed a quick cheap replacement while I worked on getting my MacBook repaired. I used the computer for about two weeks until I got fed up and just bought a new MacBook. I would not recommend this laptop for anyone unless all you plan on doing is watching youtube videos (even youtube loads/runs slow) and maybe checking emails. I would not recommend this laptop to anyone who is looking to use it for work as it runs slow and reduces productivity significantly. Battery life is no good either, a full charge lasts a couple hours just simply browsing the web. The only nice thing about the laptop is how it syncs with everything Google, but then again, any laptop can do that nowadays. Dont waste your money trying to buy a cheap computer like this; do some research and get something with a legitimate OS.
