I have had this for almost a month, and this is just fantastic. It looks classy and worth $700 when in fact I got this with a student deal of $399, plus $49 of Microsoft office for one year. I bought this at the City of Industry Best Buy because it's always out of stock at Fresno and Clovis. Good thing I listened to my gut when I was visiting my Aunt in LA. It's great for homework and streaming stuff online. Service: I also really like the service of the saleslady (Alexandra I think, a fellow college student) who tested this out for me and helped me compare which is the best, long-lasting laptop, perfect for my Biology major. She was so helpful and friendly and asked all my questions. It also helps to research your product beforehand. Backlit Keyboard: This won out because, not only does it have a Backlit keyboard (so handy especially when you're in your dorm and you don't want to disturb your sleeping roomie with a lamp on) but it's big enough for you to enjoy streaming video, e.g. YouTube, Amazon etc. My only gripe (which isn't really) is there's no caps lock key, home, end key. I've been using Microsoft all my life, so it takes getting used to, like most new things. Can always look up Google for Chromebook keyboard shortcuts, it is pretty easy. Storage and ports: You could connect a USB or make use of Google's Cloud which helps me a lot in organizing and storing files for easy access to a public computer on campus, and in case you forget your thumb drive. It's complete with HDMI port so you can connect this to a projector if you need to. I haven't tested out the Bluetooth for printing out papers, but I did test this laptop to connect to my Google Pixel3a phone as hotspot. I'm thinking about buying a printer sometime soon, but only when there's A REALLY GOOD DEAL (Black Friday?) Hint hint, Best Buy. I'm up for deals especially as good as this one. Trackpad: The trackpad is a breeze. Very intuitive. You could always adjust the settings to edit/add more shortcuts. I was thinking of buying a mouse as well, part of the bundle, but seeing how impressive this is, there's no need to. Schoolwork: I haven't been using Microsoft Office as much as Google Docs, but it's nice to have backup if you don't have internet. I utilize "Keep Notes" and "Calendar" a lot, reminding me of my activies ahead. Audio and Screen: Wonderful. Screen is big enough to enjoy streaming movies and shows. You don't have to crane your neck, move forward or squint, especially for a product at this price range. I'm happy with 1080 HD. OS: Sometimes it does "blink" or slow up, specifically if I get a lot of notifications from my email. I'll just have to adjust the frequency of those notifs, so no big deal on that. It gets updates just like an Android phone. Physical: so lightweight, I've been carrying this in a backpack around on campus, walking 10 minutes to and fro most days, and it doesn't feel heavy at all. Also because the backpack I bought that came with this is excellent and padded (Next review). It's also sturdy and you feel that when you open up your screen, it won't break. The top of the Chromebook is very durable and won't scratch at all, in fact it's quite scratchproof. Nice criss-cross texture to it too. Overall, just take care of it, and it'll take care of you :) As a Bio Student, this is perfect for me and all my theses, projects and essays.

I'm pretty happy with the purchase of this product. It is on the heavy size compared to other Chromebooks on the market. The screen is a nice size, the chrome OS is blazing fast but I thought about returning it more than once. The thing that bothers me a little are the really thick bezels on this computer. I think Acer needs to work on their design a little bit, the screen looks like something from the 2000's. Otherwise, the computer does it job very well, loud speakers, great keyboard and pad. Would I recommend it? Sure. Is it for everyone ? No. It depends on your needs. Better replacement from that Win "Sur..." from 2015 for sure.

$345. Totally satisfied with the price. Backlit keyboard and a crystal clear touchscreen. 15.6 inch screen great for watching TV(YouTube TV). Not very portable though, it's huge and heavy. Also you can fold it all the way back and set it up like a tent. Or a tablet. This product gets 5*'s from me

I finally grew tired of waiting forever for Windows to load, and made the jump to Chromebook. Yes, there are to limitations. But there Is almost nothing you can't do with this machine. Through Chrome Apps and browser extensions, you can almost always find an alternative to common Windows programs. If your computing needs involve mainly web surfing, email, shopping, YouTube, browser games, online documents through either Google Drive or Office Online, then I very highly recommend this Chromebook. Its 15" screen is clear and sharp. It boots in seconds. It handles the online game Elvenar with ease, a graphic intense game that cripples my Windows system that has a Pentium CPU in the same class as the processor inside this Chromebook. This Chromebook runs circles around my Windows PC, You can fold this Chromebook in half and use it as a tablet. But at 5 pounds, it is not meant to be a handheld device. But it works great in tablet mode in your lap. This is not like your smart phone, though, as the screen doesn't rotate to portrait mode. But using the Chromebook in tablet in your mode is really convenient for gaming, or surfing, or emailing with the touch screen. The virtual keyboard works great. It even has voice input which I just used to write this sentence. In summary, if you are looking to buy a Chromebook, but are hesitant, give this machine a closer look. I love mine.

I looked up the reviews and bought one for my mom. It was so good i had to buy one for myself! Great laptop, AMAZING BATTERY LIFE. Great Sound, beautiful display, works fast, NO COMPLAINTS! We need more things made this nicely!
