    I bought this for a replacement for my laptop. I use Chromebooks a lot and this one is by far a great buy. I just recommend buying it when it's on sale and don't expect native gaming on this device. It's a "Cloud Gaming" Chromebook.

    The Acer Chromebook is an asset to any business. We have ordered 25 over the last year for different projects and they never disappoint! Thank you Best Buy and my sales associate Andrea for making this an easy ordering process.

    Son loves this device , he said he finishes his homework happily using this versus a lower quality loaner, the keyboard and screen is so much nicer, it glows and the videos and gaming experience is good enough

    I've had my Chromebook now for 6 months and I can't be more happy with it. We are Chromebook family and this is my second Chromebook. The only thing I miss is the touch screen. Highly recommend owning a Chromebook for your everyday use.

    very powerful Chromebook. 16", 2560 x 1600, 120 H display. Plenty of storage. Runs games, multiple apps, and web pages open. Excellent for productivity. Good choice for students, or anyone wanting something more from a Chromebook

    I knew I wanted a new chomebook, and was pleasantly surprised by the extensive variety of chromebooks available! The salesperson assisted me in determining which chome book was best for me, and I'm happy with my choice!

    For the price, $200 off this was a screaming deal. It was a great Chromebook with 2560x1600 resolution. It worked great and continues to work. I don't use it to play games..... games suck, development is where it's at.

    This Chromebook is fast and has a great monitor for everything i need. It was billed as a Nvidia Geforce Now-ready gaming Chromebook, which is not really accurate, but for a Chromebook it works great. And the matte monitor allows me to use it outside.

    Good computer! Nice product for such a low price. It was a gift for my son. He likes it to look for work since he relocated to a different city. Best Buy always have a good deal and they know how to treat you right.

    This 516 GE Cloud would have met my needs for a laptop, but I didn't take it out of the box because I bought the Chromebook Spin 714 instead. I am not a gamer.....I just liked the 8 GB of RAM and the Intel i5.

    Love the lighted keyboard and overall functionality of this Chromebook, even though I don't play games with it, upgrade from an older Acer Chromebook that was no longer supported it was so old.

    Works as expected but different because I had a samsung chromebook that was fine until it security updates were done. This is about same quality but no touch screen or stylus. It's a learning curve.

    Love the chromebook! Only issue I'm having with it is every so often the audio will completely go out and the only way to restore the audio is restarting the chromebook! Waiting to see if this is going to continue or not. Hope it stops!

    Everything is high quality except the trackpad and click. Besides that, it’s all great. Don’t expect any real gaming since cloud gaming is still not great.

    I think this would have been a great little laptop but it is not easily able to install Windows so will not work for my nephew who I bought this for for Christmas. Will be returning for a windows gaming laptop.
