Great for gaming, but also excellent for work.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely the best Chromebook I've ever used. Blazing fast, solid. Big, nice, bright, high-powered screen. Pretty much every hardware feature I'd want, including a great set of physical ports, fast wifi, lots of storage, etc. Also one of the last 15-inch-or-more laptops that don't try to cram in a numpad. Keyboard and trackpad are great, in fact. And the 12th-gen CPU and GPU are crazy fast for a Chromebook. Great for gaming. But also, an excellent work machine. With the built-in Linux app support I'm able to run all my software development apps (VSCode, PyCharm, etc) and they run surprisingly well. I'm able to use a wide range of Android apps on it, including my OpenVPN client, and it just works. A good machine for media/gaming use, but also good for many kinds of power users. I think my only negatives are - battery life could be a little bit longer (much better than the Mac it's replacing, but not as good as other Chromebooks I've used - but all the power comes with some tradeoffs). Secondly, the keyboard backlight could be a little brighter (and I really like the ability to customize the backlight colors, but it's a little weird that there's no option to animate the colors at all). But I like virtually everything else about the laptop. It really is great.

I would recommend this to a friend Excellent Choice
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The chromebook is very good value, bought it on sale if you are in the market for very well rounded chromebook that checks most needs. Very fast handles 20 tabs open at time and never slows. Track pad and keyboard are excellent. Speakers are full sounding, very responsive. The screen is bright and very sharp. Has all the right ports hdmi, usb a, usb b with charging, and an ethernet port which is excellent for online gaming or using device as a desk workstation. Build quality is excellent aluminum lid, very sturdy and amazingly light weight for a 16 inch chromebook. Realistic battery time is 6-7 hours. Very good for online gaming. Nvidea GEforce.

Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm not a gamer. This is an excellent Chromebook that performs well - good speakers, lots of screen space, can handle multi tabs and i love the lighted keyboard for nighttime use. I'm happy it doesn't have a touch screen. I can get MS apps - i'll never buy a PC laptop again.

Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I dont even know what to say? Acer has never ever been anything but low grade budget laptops. Only half decent hw in this is the 12th gen i5. No laptop on earth can be called a "gaming" laptop, chromebook -laughable- or tablet using such low specs and integrated graphics card
