While the Chromebook cosmetically looked nice on the outside, once we turned them on (oh yes, purchased 2) was a different story. Both of them are at the "end of life" for their software and unable to update them. We got them for our kids to start their online school programs and neither of them are able to do anything with them. I understand these are "pre-owned" but nowhere obvious that I am able to find in the description does it say, unable to update software (therefore unable to use them for very much of anything).

Dear NicMM, We are sorry you are unhappy with your Acer Chromebook. The Chromebook devices do have an end of life date, as this applies to all Chromebooks regardless of manufacturer. While Chromebooks are designed to have automatic updates, as Google explains: "end-to-end updates for all our devices to ensure the highest levels of security requires dependencies on many third-party hardware and software providers so we cannot indefinitely ensure that older Chrome devices will receive updates to enable new OS and browser features." You can see the list of systems and their end of life dates posted here: https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/6220366?hl=en We are sorry you gave the device a 1 star review because of this, and we understand this is disappointing but we hope the Chromebook meets your needs otherwise. We appreciate you taking the time to write this review. Regards, Acer America

Had to get a chrome book for my kid for school. I didn’t wanna pay a ton of money, but for 80 bucks this is great. Delivers everything he needed and a bunch more features.

I was hopeing that it would be ok with it being preowned and everything and it was. It is very good to do my school work on but not very good for gaming.

My mom is the least big tech savvy—the farthest thing from it actually— but she’s learning and the laptop here is pretty simple and easy for her to use!

I bought this chromebook in March 2020 and shortly thereafter, I found that it no longer upgraded. I called the company that refurbished it and was given a quick fix, which never worked. I also can't find the apps I normally use. I am not a techie at all, but I can do the most rudimentary things usually, but this chromebook is a huge disappointment.

This Chromebook could be great, I have no idea. The school said it didn't meet the requirements so I returned it the same day it arrived.

I assumed used meant it would still be in good condition. My fault. All corners had chips. Scratches all over the keyboard. Luckily it was just for last minute homeschooling for a few weeks. If this was for anything more I would have returned it.

Dear Chan, We are sorry to hear you are unhappy with your Acer pre-owned Chromebook. Unfortunately there is no way to determine why a particular model was sold pre-owned, but with that said, these should be purchased with the expectation of some possible cosmetic issues, but the product should be in working condition. If the condition is not what you expected, please contact the reseller to inquire about your return/swap options. We appreciate you taking the time to write this review. Regards, Acer America

I bought this for my husband who only checks his email and the internet . It wouldn’t even charge right out of the box. Returned it for some help and was told to just get my $ back. Very disappointed. We will never buy something like this again.
