    The computer looks very nice and displays well. I have never had a Chromebook before=and this is a Chromebook plus. So I purchased two workbooks on how to set it up and I am just taking is step by step. Slow work for this 80yr old brain but i'm getting there!

    Prior to this we had a Plus 515 and the 516 is a nice step up resolving a few of the items I had an issue with. Plenty of power for school work and personal activities as well. The screen brightness is decent in both low light and bright light. The only real thing I wish was it had backlit keys.

    The Acer Chromebook 516 GE is a powerful and well-featured Chromebook. Its standout 16-inch, 120Hz display and responsive keyboard are excellent for both productivity and cloud gaming. While the plastic build may not feel premium, its strong performance and competitive price make it a top choice for a high-end ChromeOS laptop.

    I bought a different computer, and I didn’t like the keyboard. I returned it and got this item, which I like much better. The main point of this review is that the return process was easy and seamless.

    Nice machine! Fair price. I am not a gamer or movie streamer. But functions well for the rather limited uses I utilize. Screen flickers a bit when Wifi connected to phone's hotspot.
