Got this for online steaming vs buying a new tv. My tv is 4 years old only one streaming service is available. So it was cheaper to get this item. Also its a good size for traveling.

Good laptop fits most of needs. It would have been better if it were a 2 in 1, but none available. It was purchased for my sister and she likes it. It is fast and reliable with a better than expected screen.

I bought this chromebook because of the 17 inch screen, I watch baseball games every day. I was impressed with the size of the screen and the picture quality. The touch screen, back lit key pad and number key pad is also great. The problem is, while watching baseball or any streaming video, it will disconnect from wifi and the screen will freeze. I have to power off the machine and reboot to get the connection back. As an experiment, I had my 13 inch HP chormebook next to the Acer. It would not lose wifi when the Acer would. If you plan on watching movies or baseball, you might want to look else where.

Very heavy but worth it for the large display. Needs more storage, should have been 128GB. Needs lower resolution option. FHD is good but should offer a 3K or 4K option. I know this would have a battery impact.

This is my 5th CB over many years and this one is probably the best. I did not want a Celeron because of the speed, this chip is fast enough and 8GB and the screen is large. The price point is worth every penny.

This computer is beautiful and has a large touchable screen with acceptable accuracy and a large keyboard and lights up in the dark. The sound is somewhat acceptable. The battery of the device lasts for long hours, it may reach a time of 5 to 8 hours, and the battery charging is good and fast.

I do not like it, It's slow. The internet drops constantly. I have it in the exact same spot as my previous laptop which did not drop internet or whatever and was quicker. It's sluggish and glitchy. The screen is glitchy as well. Best way I can describe it. And slow to respond. Im only on the website to start a return, but I missed the return window, so I ended up leaving this review.

More than I expected for the price. Quality was the main reason I bought my 1st Chromebook; this purchase did not disappoint me. I wish printing was better supported.
