Acer 11.6in chromebook 4GB 16GB | C720-2844 (Renewed)

Like many on here when buying a laptop used I went through the reviews to make sure it is worth the hassle of buying a product cheaper. My item is used for school only and it’s a very powerful machine being able to view 4k youtube videos. Everything was going great until my product one random day decided to crash the chrome os making it un useable I restarted my laptop a few times and it went back to normal. This laptop even though I had this slight issue with it has been a purchase worth the price. If you decide to buy the laptop make sure it’s not for anything too important that will cause you to regret the purchase. It’s a little on the heavy side and it looks like a premium item. Overall I do not regret the purchase, if you have doubts just purchase a warranty or pick a different used laptop.

Other recommendations were to get the 4GB version of the Acer C720 and not the 2GB version. That was great advice and I am very happy with this Chromebook so far. The 16GB SSD is good enough unless you really need to add lots of apps. For multimedia, if you dont want to store it in the cloud then just get a fast USB 3.0 memory stick, 32 or 64GB. The battery life is exceptional. The WiFi is very fast to connect and has excellent data speeds. This item was refurbished and definitely like brand new. I would recommend Acer refurbished products to anyone. Also, even though it is refurbished, Google still gave me the free 100GB of storage for 2 years. The only reason I dont give this product a 5 star is that some of the normal keys on the Chromebook keyboard are missing, such as Delete. You have to learn the muti-key replacements for these, such as CTRL-Backspace for Delete. That is annoying as there seems to be room in the form factor for these keys to exist. I also have had problems with the right mouse button functioning in some programs and I am not sure why. This may be a Chrome OS issue.

Now I read some of the reviews before I just went ahead and purchased this, but I figured it would have been so bad. I had bought this laptop because it was cheap and it was for a friend of mine who didnt have one. I took a week to set it up and see what was wrong with it. When I got it, it was easy to notice some faint scratch marks on the framework on the inside, but they were not too deep. Nothing seemed too wrong with it, then I found out the right part of the mouse wouldnt work (like the right-click button) but after a week I used how to work around that. Overall, I would say its a good buy for just $97 (plus handling).

Based on other reviews I was worried about purchasing this but now that I have it I’m so glad I didn’t let those reviews influence my decision! It’s in great condition, connected to WiFi very quickly, it’s not slow & everything works. I haven’t been able to test the battery life just yet but regardless, for this price it’s a great purchase & gets the job done.

After a few hours working with this refurbished C720, Im generallly happy with my purchase. It is pretty much what I expected of a laptop for $209 and for what I plan to do with it, its good enough. Despite being a factory refurbished model, it looks and feels brand new. I couldnt find any evidence of wear and tear. The keyboard isnt perfect, but certainly usable -- it feels cheap, but not crappy cheap. The case is somewhat flimsy -- when you lift it from the bottom while the fan is running, the bottom of the case comes into contact with the spinning fan -- knowing that is an issue, Ill take care not to do it again. Despite the caveat that redeeming the 100GB of Google might not work, I was pleasantly surpised that I was given a whole TERABYTE for two years! Yes I said a TERABYTE!!!
