    The display and performance of this device are outstanding! I purchased this device for my daughter and she loves it. We've not thrown anything at this chromebook that has slowed it down. As good is the performance is, the star of this device is the display. I could easily use this device as a productivity machine with Linux and Android apps. The trackpad is very good. The keyboard is a little mushy for my taste, but the RGB lighting is great. The speakers have good volume, but very little bass. I'm very happy with this chromebook and highly recommend it.

    The Chromebook 516 GE is a remarkable device that combines the portability and affordability of a Chromebook with features typically found in high-end gaming laptops. Equipped with an RGB keyboard and a 120Hz display, it provides an immersive gaming experience. While it lacks a dedicated AMD or Nvidia graphics processor, it stands out as one of the most impressive Chromebooks available, offering a unique opportunity to engage in high-end PC gaming without the substantial hardware requirements typically associated with such experiences. The Chromebook 516 GE represents a significant achievement and sets a new standard for Chromebooks.

    Nice processing power combined with a high resolution 16in 120hz screen makes for a wonderful ChromeOS experience. The screen has spoiled me. It's hard to look at regular 60hz laptop screens anymore. For the gamers out there, GeForce Now runs really really well. Now I know why reviewers like Chrome Unboxed have given this laptop such glowing reviews. Well done, Acer.

    Fast, smooth, good display, I have no complaints, probably the best computer that I've ever owned. I'm not sure of the battery life as I've never unplugged it.

    No complaints so far after a year of light use for online work and general browsing. I don't really play games on it so I cannot say anything about that.

    Really good chromebook for the price if you want a large screen. I returned it because 16 inches was just too big, but it's a great deal for a chromebook.

    Unexpected Power for a Chromebook

    No matter the devices I own, I always keep a Chromebook at hand. In this particular device, I saw another Chromebook enthusiast review with high recommendations. The 16" screen with 120hz refresh rate is absolutely stunning, something not often heard of in a Chromebook. Great ports, RBG backlit keys, and good battery life really make this a great gaming chromebook for streaming or just every day use. Good decision I made to buy this device.

    These are great high-performance Chromebooks. I've been very successful running quite a few different steam games on them.
