    The best laptop I've own so far. Processor is quick and key functions are simple. No guessing needed. Long battery life, able to work without interrupting my projects to frantically look for a charger, this laptop lasts days without charging! The size of the screen is also a plus! I often don't work with my reading glasses, visibility is on point and lastly the speaker potential/volume is great as well.

    Processing speed was exactly what we were looking for in a lower priced Chromebook. The screen size is great and picture quality is first rate.

    Just got my Chromebook Plus and honestly, I’m impressed. Super light, fast, and the battery lasts all day. The screen looks really good for videos and work, and I love how quick it boots up. Perfect for browsing, streaming, and everyday stuff. Only downside is you can’t run heavy programs like Windows apps, but for school, work, or chilling online, it does the job really well. Definitely worth it.

    Great so far. Very fast loading pages. Much better than a standard Chromebook. If you already like Chromebooks you will Love this one. Good display. Has more new tricks than I will ever use. Loads up new android apps very fast. The battery life is OK unless you are heavily gaming. If I blaze thru a lot of levels on Candy Crush I will have to recharge in about 90 minutes. For regular web surfing the battery will go a couple days. Plays videos nicely. If you have fast internet you will rarely see the loading circle. Sound is typical for a laptop. Has a little fan that runs sometimes. Can barely hear it. So far it does everything I need in a laptop. NO buyers regret. If you can get one on sale, Go for it!

    This Chromebook is awesome and super easy to use. The 16" screen looks great, everything loads fast, and it’s perfect for browsing, streaming, and work. I really like the clean Steel Gray look, and it feels solid without being too heavy. Battery life has been good so far, and Wi‑Fi 6E keeps things quick and stable. Overall, it’s exactly what I wanted and I’m very happy with this purchase. ​

    I have been using laptops for years, and really don't want to go back to anything else. This one is working beautifully, no glitches, no confusion on my part with its use, the 16" display is perfect, it's simply quite easy to use, fast, so far, I've had no problems, I'm happy with it. It's hard to review something that does what I want, works well, has no problems at all. It's a very nice laptop.

    Good screen quality. Good brightness. Feels well built. Very good batter life so far. I have a more powerful laptop docked to a monitor and I wanted something to bring around the house that wouldn't be slow but wouldn't break the bank. This felt like a good value to hit an i3 with 8GB RAM and I'm happy I paid a little extra over entry level.

    Best Deal at Best Buy

    We wanted these Chromebooks for a while and when the price dropped below 300 we bought a handful for our staff. Best Buy delivered them quicker than expected and they arrived in perfect shape. This model is one of Acer's better configurations. A Chromebook "Plus" is usually only available in the 500 dollar price range. The large screen, HDMI output and Core-i3 processor are fantastic features.

    So far so good. Only drawback is that it does not have touchscreen. AT a price of $290.00, no complaints here. For the sales price, this is the best market value! the display is fantastic, great speed, will be steaming movies.

    Chromebook is quick, good picture quality, sound is reasonable, no complaints on performance. But I'm still learning its features (such as why font sizes keep changing unexpectedly) and on-line help has been limited help. But Acer has a phone lime where it seems practical to actually talk to alive customer service agent

    Great computer for the price and for what I do. I’m not a computer geek so it is perfect for me. My son who is very tech savvy was equally impressed especially with how fast this Chromebook is. No complaints. He set it up for me with no issues.

    My old chromebook has not been supported for over a year. I read that this makes it susceptable. So I bought this Acer for myself for Christmas, I do a lot of databasing with Google Sheets, On the Acer, the menu does not appear. The keyboard shortcut does not make it show either. I have to keep restarting the Acer, and eventually it shows up. It is unusable without the menu. It does seem to be doing a bit better the more I use it, but I was ready to return it at first. Both Chrome and Sheets are Google products. So come on, Google, get your act together! It gave me some message about Sheets not working well on this modeI: no kidding! I also miss having a touch screen. And the keys are not backlit. But it does have a nice big screen. Will I keep it? I’m not sure. The pre-Christmas sales are over. Sigh…….

    This is my third Acer Chromebook. I probably won't use the '"Plus" features. I just wanted something faster with a larger screen. it fills the bill in those regards.
