Purchased this laptop to finish or check work emails. Works fantastic GREAT LAPTOP!!

I bought this knowing full well that I wasn,t getting top of the heap, but my major disappointment is with the poor display. The picture you get is a washed out view. Having said that for the price it is suitable for my needs. It will do for now until I can afford something better. I do like chromebooks anyway.

I am very happy with this purchase. Easy to use great computer for kids homework

This is a great a product if you don't have the need to do very extensive things on a computer. If you are looking to keep it simple, a Chromebook is the way to go. I love that antivirus comes with it and you never have to replace it. The only thing that I don't particularly like is having to download things from their app store just to read certain files or to look at certain things.

always had a regular laptop but decided to try the Acer Chromebook totally luv it.

Nice screen size. Good clarity and color. Ideal for all my email and shopping needs.

This laptop did everything I was expecting and was priced accordingly!

Easy for my whole family to use and enjoy. Easy set up. Could not be happier.

Excellent computer for the price. I will definitely purchase same one again.

I’ve been curious about Chromebooks for quite some time. I do tech support and finally got this one to get some hands on experience with them so I can better help friends, family, and coworkers who have trouble with them. After a week with this my advice is this: If you pickup a Chromebook thinking it’ll just take the place of your laptop 1:1 you’ll likely be disappointed, But if you are ready to accept and use a Chromebook for what it is, rather than fight against it for what it isn’t, then you’re in for a treat. The primary draw of a Chromebook is that it’s a lower-cost and lightweight operating system that boots fast and can run on lesser hardware and still perform pretty well, and in some regards (battery) can perform even better than a traditional laptop running a heavy-weight OS like Windows, Linux, or MacOS. Another draw is that recent Chromebooks can also install and run most Android apps which means you are not limited to just what you can access in the browser or install from the Chrome apps. This gives a modest Chromebook like this Acer CB3-532-C8DF some respectable application flexibility that can outweigh matters of raw performance -- for example, I found I preferred to access Netflix directly through the browser rather than the Netflix app, but that I preferred to use the TuneIn Radio app over their website -- It’s an interesting if sometimes awkward blend of Android-meets-laptop. Powered by a Celeron N3060, it’s never lightning fast but is “fast enough” that I rarely waited very long. The battery life is crazy -- I easily made it through a full work day on a single charge while doing web work and listening to Internet radio. So no, it’s not the fastest, and it’s not a 4K HD display, but when it comes to simplicity and longevity it leaves traditional laptops in the dust. It’s not perfect however -- budget specs means there were times when it obviously struggled to keep up with what I asked, even just pretty basic multi-tasking. For example, audio and/or video streams would often stutter if I toggled away from them momentarily to work on an e-mail reply or to look up something in Chrome while the audio/video continued in the background. My main “negative” though is that I have 4 Google accounts that I have to be logged into regularly -- 1 personal, 1 for work, and 2 accounts for businesses that I consult for. On a traditional Windows/Linux/Mac computer the Chrome browser easily accommodates having 4 separate Chrome user profiles running simultaneously side-by-side on one desktop space. On a Chromebook however -- built around the very same Chrome browser at its core -- It’s considerably more awkward. With some work and setup you can be logged into all 4 accounts simultaneously and switch between them easily enough, but each one is essentially its own desktop space so it’s more like user-switching than the side-by-side multiple profiles that is so easy with Chrome on the other platforms. With a few more gyrations you can get all 4 instances of Chrome onto one Chromebook desktop, but doing so is quite clunky compared to doing the very same thing on a traditional PC. While it’s true that I wouldn’t normally encourage a direct comparison between a Chromebook and a traditional PC, this is one direct comparison that I think SHOULD be made because “running Chrome” is what a Chromebook is all about -- it’s their namesake and centerpiece of what they are supposed to be good at. So it’s odd that Chrome, on a platform specifically designed to showcase it, falls noticeably and awkwardly short of its own multi-profile capabilities on the other platforms. Not everyone will need this simultaneous multi-user/profile functionality, but for me it’s a critical part of my workflow and I expected Chrome on a Chromebook to handle this at least as well as Chrome on other platforms, but surprisingly it doesn’t. For what it is I’d still recommend this Acer Chromebook for the basic use case it is intended for, just be realistic in your expectations -- It’s not a powerhouse, and at this price point it never pretends to be one so don’t hold it to that standard. But it is simple, functional, and with access to most apps from the Google Play Store it has some truly impressive application flexibility.

Simple set and easy to use. Disappointing that the keyboard has no backlight

Simple chrome book that’s perfect for browsing the internet. Would recommend!
