||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really enjoy the Acer Chromebook I love the fact that it is lightweight. I also like the fact that it runs on Google IOS system. I also like that I use google version of Microsoft office which is good because I don't have to worry about downloading or buying any additional software.

Great laptop for general use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My husband purchased this laptop for general work and leisure use, and it is perfect for that! He loves it. Pros: - Very very light - Fast - Ideal for general use: internet, writing, etc - Hard drive stays cool and doesn't burn your lap even after hours of use or streaming video Cons: - Small screen - Sub-par speakers/sound quality - Small storage capacity So it has a couple of cons, but like I said, my husband uses this most for browsing the internet and doing work on it, but he doesn't require a high resolution or maximum storage because we are huge fans of cloud storage. So the "cons" for this laptop don't even apply because we purchased it for a specific use, and it is perfect for it. We don't need a great screen or speakers, we have other equipment for watching movies, so if you're looking for a light laptop for traveling, doing work on your commute, or just doing work in the office or at home, this is perfect. I would also HIGHLY recommend this for college students. It's very light and very quick and easy to use.

Excellent product, does what its supposed to do
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The reason I give this chromebook 5 stars is it totally meets my expectations and does so at a great price. My primary criteria is I wanted an inexpensive laptop that I could use for internet surfing and other cloud computing applications such as google play. It does all of this very well. As most people know all applications are run from the cloud. With that in mind, it will not run something like Microsoft Office so if that's something you need this isn't the product for you. But, it can read MS Word and Excel docs and convert them to Google Docs which works quite well for what I need. If you need fancy formatting or complex formulas this might not work for you. The performance is great, I don't have to worry about anti-virus protection and the never ending software updates required on a Microsoft OS machine. It boots up extremely fast and battery life is typically 8 hours or more. Though it doesn't have much on board storage (16 or 32 gb), it works very well with a USB storage device or SD card. It also supports USB 3. Its got a headphone jack, HDMI output and most importantly Bluetooth which works seamlessly. Screen size is perfect if you are comfortable with a 11 inch display. Display quality is very good too. Very portable, ultra-thin design. After over one month of constant use I have no complaints. It's precisely what I was looking for and cost under $200.

Great product at a fantastic price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was skeptical, having been tied to an iPAD for a couple of years and totally disgusted with the netbooks I had prior to that. But, I must say, I am most amazingly and pleasantly surprised at the speed and ease of use I have with this device. It is perfect for checking emails or surfing - super duper fast surfing - and there are programs to substitute for the lack of Windows Apps. My grandson even does a little gaming on it, though it's not for the "pro" gamer according to other reviews I've read. The battery life is awesome - I charge it weekly. And it's as lightweight as my iPAD. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this device...it's the best $129 I ever spent!!!

Great All-Around Chromebook
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Originally looking for a different Chromebook, the Acer went on sale and I just could resist for the price. I am SO GLAD I purchased this one! My intent was to get a very light and comfortable Chromebook to use as my "work from home" laptop. Being able to run all of my work apps via XenApp published apps or Citrix, I am fully functional and don't have to lug around a heavy laptop from work or be stuck to my desktop at home. The quality of the Chromebook is very good. Speakers are so-so, but I use a headset anyways, which sound great. It will work well with most internet sites and media, though there are a few sites that aren't compatible with Google Chrome and don't run video or display well. But the usual suspects, such at YouTube, Yahoo, Hulu, Netflix, etc., all work great. The battery life is very good. At 100% charge, mine lasts almost 10 hours without bluetooth activated. With bluetooth on, it drops to about 6-7 hours but that's ok. Still more than sufficient to drive bluetooth headsets to watch movies for a few hours.

Perfect Chromebook
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was an impulse buy. I started with a couple of CR-48 devices and loved them back in the day. I was getting a net notebook when the little white computer caught my eye. When I saw the price I had to have it. It has taken over as my go to computer, pushing aside my MacBook Air! Battery time, quietness, lightness, effectiveness and speed makes it perfect. I just simply love this ChromeBook. It does everything great. I have no regrets whatsoever with this purchase and would do it again in a heartbeat.

He can't get enough of it
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So... my fiance bashed me for getting an acer 720 chromebook when I got one last year. He totally talked bad about it even though he had never even played on a demo let alone used one. It was only a matter of time before he wanted to use my chromebook over his windows gaming computer when we needed to use the computer fast... as in no load time. When he enrolled in college, his professors (he's a computer science major) suggested that the class use Google Docs for writing papers; he used it on his computer but finally admitted that he needed a computer that he could take around which wasn't so heavy, fast, and reliable for classes.... He admitted that he needed a Chromebook. I surprised him with the acer cb3 11.6" laptop when it went on sale at an awesome price on Easter weekend before they sold out. :) He was surprised, happy, and cautious about getting a new chromebook. Long story short, 10 days later and he can't get enough of his chromebook. I'm talking, falling to sleep with it in bed, streaming video from the net, taking it to the restroom (don't ask) and more. He loves his chromebook... a lot! His chromebook is ligther in weight than my c270. My chromebook is a loaner device for work but I'm going to buy the new acer 15 tomorrow when I get paid! These chromebooks are good for a lot even when offline!

Great, portable, light laptop alternative
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Chromebook is great! I've had it for two months now and the battery lasts much longer than advertised, especially when it's in sleep mode. I go days without having to charge it. It's super light and is very fast, never gets very warm. It is the more sturdy feeling option of the ones offered at Best Buy, the hinge is strong and still pretty easy to close and open. Google Docs is equipped and runs smoothly with Windows; Google drive deal for two years is awesome to have included. Very happy with this purchase!

Great for getting online
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is hands down one of the best purchases I have made this year. I can turn this laptop on and get online in less than 30 seconds (15 in some cases). It is light, produces almost no heat and has close to 10 hours of battery life. Moreover, it cost less than 170 dollars with tax! If you are looking for a computer to only use online then this is the one for you.

Yes, this is the BEST Everyday device you can buy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love it, long battery life, better than Windows 8 overall, keyboard is very comfortable, very good price. If you're living in an environment that always within reach of WiFi, I think this will be a great device, cheaper than iPad, more intuitive than Windows 8 PC, and completely worry free, the charger brick is very small while the cable is long to swing along, I like the fact that the charger, wire match the withe color. Build quality is a little bit cheap, and screen could be better, if it comes with a touch screen, that will be fantastic.

Love this Little Miracle
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been an ardent Mac user for more than a decade, and trusted my Mac daily for my work (I'm a web developer, dealing in Rails & PHP). I bought this on a lark after reading some blog posts about converting to Cloud IDEs and rocking the lighter OS. All in all, I am *utterly* blown away. This machine is breathtakingly quick for something so small and rather weak. You'll never feel the 2 gigs of RAM as a nuisance. Better still, it runs everything I need it to do for my work without any fuss. I can blast Spotify and code in Cloud9 or Nitrous.io without any complications. For the price, it's unbeatable. I have had one OS hiccup, and it was my fault. Other than this single instance, it has never failed me. Love this little dude, and will use it until the wheels fall off.

Great!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wasn't much of laptop fan before, as most basic internet related activities can be solved using smartphone/tablets. for rare occasion of complex computing, rather preferred desktop over laptop. so laptop had no place for use for a good few years. but sudden need for laptop turned my interest for inexpensive option for a laptop, as other usual gadgets are still intact and working. this need for a laptop, turned to research, and decided on a chromebook that was least expensive option. personally, best decision ever. almost stop using tablet as this gives more comfortable viewing than tablet. superfast and responsive. tablet will never operate at this speed. of course, desktop is even faster, but lacks this 2.5lbs portability. honestly, it's like carrying ipad with keyboard, except faster. ipad has better display, but than again, it does than most things out there, and comes with sky high price tag. you can't beat this price. anyways, i think it's good if you are looking for a simple laptop for simple use.

wow!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.bought this for my mom, she is NOT computer literate. so far she LOVES this thing. its light. charges fast and lasts FOREVER. i was weary about the "always online" feature; but it actually doesnt affect anything as long as you are within wi-fi (which she is 24/7). boots up in 3 seconds, compatible with all the major apps. easy. simple. sleek. light. fast. done.

Love it!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We got this for my 10 year old daughter for Christmas. She wanted this exact one! All the reviews helped me choose it. It's fast, little, and keeps a charge. My daughter watches you tube videos on it constantly. She also watches Netflix and has never had any issues!! Overall for the price we are extremely pleased!

Great Computer for Students
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am a college student and I was looking for an inexpensive and light laptop to take with me to school. This laptop is awesome!! I was concerned at first about the lack of Microsoft office capabilities, but my school offers an online version. Google docs also works well as a substitute. Without WiFi this computer can't do much, but I haven't had a problem with that yet, because everywhere I go I have access to wifi (work, school, home). Great for surfing the web, taking notes, or watching Netflix. I was surprised at how fast this computer works in comparison to some pc laptops I have had in the past. Very fast, great quality, lightweight, and over all a very good deal for the price. I would absolutely recommend this to students, writers, or others who just need good computer for very cheap.

All you really need to take care of business
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Chromebooks can do so much -- so much more than meets the eye. Forget the whole MS Suite version WHATEVER. This does ALL that AND a bag o' chips. It constantly saves whatever you're doing to the Google Drive so you never worry about where it is (in some obscure Windows oddball file you didn't even know was on your PC, located only after searching for hours on end). It's very easy and intuitive. (The perfect marriage of Apple and Microsoft?) Google researched and found a better, cheaper, easier way. If you need a comparable program, Google has an app for that -- an EASY app. That will integrate seamlessly. And in most cases, it's FREEEEE! I became a willing convert to Chromebook/Google Drive after my son's school issued it for a second year. I chose the ACER because: 1) I wanted a Chromebook, 2) it was time, 3) the price was right!, 4) freedom from the constraints of Apple and MS (too exclusive), and 5) the PLASTIC housing actually makes it lighter (weight) than the metal casing on the others. The floor/demo model was white and it looked much the worse for wear -- lots of smudged, dirty hand prints, so it was a "preview" of how'd look over time. I don't care -- I'm an adult and I don't man-handle it. And I put stickers all over it anyway -- the stickers I'd always wanted to put on my V-Dub bus--and all subsequent cars -- but it "just isn't done -- at our age." Short version: I Love it! Try it!
