Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is my second Acer Chromebook: I am very pleased with the performance and display. The Chromebook software/hardware combination does everything I need and more. I am very happy to not have to fool around with software patches and hardware drivers. Chromebook takes care of all that and just lets me focus on using it for my interests. Tons of FREE software is available and it installs effortlessly. I couldn't be happier with my Acer Chromebook.

EXcellent device. Works very well. Easy to use. Larger screen wonderful for reading newspapers.

Love 5hat it’s touch screen, it is a little on the heavy side

It met all our expectations perfectly. Love the touchscreen. So easy to use.

I really like that it's a touch screen and its very easy to use. The price was just right.

This device is absolutely awesome for people with visual impairments. It has a great lower screen and definitely touch screen with a backlight. Something hard to find. This device is also excellent for senior citizens and younger children in school.

I am happy with my this purchase, no issue so far. This Chromebook is faster and I have no issue with sound or videos, I used this laptop for training and meetings. This Chromebook fulfilled my all needs

Very good, long lasting battery. I have been using this PC without problems.

Works pretty good so far. Using for remote computer work.

Bought for my mom who wanted a huge touchscreen to stream Netflix and do emails. Perfect for what she is using it for. A little big and heavy if you want to take it on the go

It's a great computer especially the brand name and I like big screen. So it was good until they broke on me. Cause it's an electrical issue ahead with the house. I was in make me sad that I had to turn it back in.

As usual I like my Acer Chromebooks. I have never had a problem with one and this is no exception. This one is a little on the heavy side but not to bad. The speakers on this model are a little on the weak and cheap side, kind of tinny. The one note of concern I had is when I first got the chromebook up and running at first the sound sounded like it had static in it and the video had lines in it. After about 10 minuets it went to working like it should. I am thinking it was updating in that process. Hasn't given one problem since. I would reccomend this model just note it is a little heavy and big if you want to carry it around all day.

I don't really like this laptop. It is not compatible with my canon printer, the speakers don't work well, it doesn't have a photo editing program like onedrive which I use all the time so I still have to use my old laptop to edit photos and put them on ebay. It is so different from my Lenovo laptop and I wish I knew this before I purchase it. The battery life, display and speed are great, but the downsides make them not important/

I found a gem in this Chrome Book! It does everything it promises to do and more. It has a good heavy weight to it… but not too much to make it cumbersome. The screen is perfect size and it holds pictures and music forever!

ACER CHROMEBOOK 317 WITH TOCH SCREEN WAS A GOOD CHOICE. The item was as advertised.The item is agood buy onsale but to pricey for what your getting at regular price

My dad loves this Chromebook, we use this to print paperwork, check emails, book loads to ship via our trucking company, and he can obviously use it for Netflix and other services. Nice big, bright, touch screen!

Enjoying this device. My main laptop is a Windows LG Gram 17, but I find using this for web research a more pleasant experience. One note, I did find the screen resolution was initially unbearable. I enabled dark mode and now it's exceptional. I have had a few Chromebooks in the past and always found them to be too small for my taste (I am old). I have some 50+ tabs open right now in 2 chrome browser windows plus one DuckDuck Go window and have no performance issues. Using messages linked to my phone, Scribd, nest app, office tools, and more with no issues. Very pleased. Finally, I can free up my laptop for pure development, and am less concerned about web browsing.

Best choice for quick , safe internet. Big screen with touch screen and backlit keyboard for a good price. Easy to operate. What else can you expect !

Runs smooth and is nice and quick. Touch screen is just as fast and doesn't lag when you're moving to fast

Screen nice and bright at 60% of max (yay!), backlit keyboard (yay!) - use ALT+bright up/down keys to change the backlight level (it's not documented anywhere in the manual!) and 8GB RAM (yay!) - for a chromebook these are stellar features. Sadly as with most chromebooks, the processor is underwhelming, but at least it's not a Celeron! Speakers are sub-par especially given the fact they're upward firing (I had high hopes) - the sound should be much clearer/louder. There is no tone/EQ adjustment (although it has a "dts" logo on the deck - guess I'll take their word for it). Battery life pretty decent for a 44Whr battery - getting 6+ hrs mixed usage, and recharge rate from zero is pretty fast (~1.5hrs). Keyboard typing experience very good, as is the trackpad. Keys feel good and travel is excellent. Trackpad is accurate, large and well placed. Don't really use touchscreen so can't comment on accuracy - seems to work fine. It is quite heavy - noticeably heavier than a 15.6" bargain laptop I own - especially for being all plastic construction, I'd expect it to be lighter. I use it on my lap while laying on the sofa and I know it's there. it get's warm with excess usage but not hot (it's a fanless design so absolutely quiet). The chassis is rigid and hinge seems sturdy. Build quality better than expected. Really disappointed that it uses eMMC storage instead of ATA or NVMe - ridiculous in 2022 when SATA/NVMe so cheap/mainstream...but for $329 it's a good browsing and media consumption device. Only minor lag when loading multiple tabs. Amazingly unlike Windows, ChromeOS will use huge amounts of RAM all the way up to the physical limits (it had 2GB used/~5GB cached and only 340MB free!), so even though 8GB seems reasonable, the thing pages out to the slow eMMC storage with only a dozen tabs open (mostly news sites and my email accts). Also to note: There is some backlight bleed around all four corners of the screen on "all-black" screens, but not a deal breaker - doesn't affect usage. One thing that irritates me is chromeOS's lack of continuity with things like Dark/light mode in the browser and System UI. You can enable the ability to use light/dark mode in the System UI using a chrome://flags tweak, but you can't have it switch automatically based on time like MacOS/iOS/iPad OS does (yet, nightlight (blue light reduction) does have a time-based setting). Also, when the System UI is dark, the browser pages are not, so you need to add something like the excellent DarkReader extension to fix that, but "new-tab" pages can't be darkened (apparently a chrome thing) so you end up with retina searing white "new-tab" pages if you don't use google as your search engine for new tabs (!?!?!?!?). You will need to add yet another extension to customize your new-tab page color. Another annoyance - the SystemUI has a toggle in the system tray for light/dark mode, yet not for the browser - the browser does have an "auto dark mode" which is similar to DarkReader (not as good) but it cannot be toggled without disabling the flag and restarting the browser and isn't tied to the one for the SystemUI setting whatsoever - an extremely poor user experience. Makes zero sense and shows how ChromeOS is nowhere near as polished as MacOS or Windows. For $329 you can't do better for specs and the large screen is an extra bonus - but it's not for everyone.
