    This is my first Chromebook and I was very hesitant even with the much lower price. I work from home so needed a computer I could log into my virtual desk company system, needed Excel and Word for offline work (outside of my company system) and this delivered flawlessly. The computer is very light and makes no sound at all. The battery can get me through a whole day without a charge. It has a camera I can use for meetings etc. and was able to get all the Microsoft apps I needed. It also syncs up with my Android device which is so cool being able to go back and forth. You will not be disappointed if you are on the fence between a Chromebook and a PC.

    What a piece of garbage. My Google phone does better and supports all the apps in Google Play. The Acer Chromebook doesn.t support any apps in the Google Play Store and I do not now why they have the play store on it.

    Ultra Portable Chromebook Solution

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The description is accurate, this feels like its build well but its as thin as they come. Limited ports (1 usb-c and headphone jack) is all you get which helps with thickness. Screen is bright, wish they would build chromebooks with higher resolution screens, keyboard feels great to type and trackpad responds like it should. If you commit to the ChromeOS experience, you will love this chromebook. Enough memory and storage for the entry to middle grade user - not idea for a power user or serious multitasker. Awesome price for the specs and battery life being 15ish hours is amazing to just use this as another internet/video option is our house.

    I got this laptop with x-mas money and was very happy with it even after having for over three years I’m very happy with it especially bc of how cheap it is the only thing I’ve ever had issues with is the battery but it is only now starting to get worse after about three and a half years of having it, even then battery still last me about 13-15 hours depending what I’m doing so I can go about three or four days without charging

    Great for kids in school and for light tasks

    These Chromebooks are great for kids to use at home as they have found their way into most schools. It handles general word processing and excel type tasks through office apps well. They are also great to keep around for doing simple things like paying bills or web surfing when you want a bigger screen than your phone. Setup was pretty easy and about as straight forward as an android phone. The battery life is excellent and charging is handled via USB-C which means that I can use pretty much any charger around the house. My only real complaint is the brightness of the screen, it could stand to be a little brighter but given the pricing it's not a deal breaker.

    battery lasts all day doing web browsing, writing, etc. The I/O is excellent (actual headphone jack + usb c). Internal storage seems very adequate. I would highly recommend for any student.Bonus: feels light but not cheap.
