This compact chrome book is easy to carry and has all the features necessary for my high school student. The fast processor and memory were definitely a highlight in making the purchase, and the included carry case was a plus!

I was an early adopter when Chromebook s first came out and I even sprung for the first desktop AIO (all in one) Chromebook by LG. Unfortunately I think they are getting worse, not better.
There a few qualms I have with CBs specifically nowadays:
- the dedicated Files app for ChromeOS does not integrate with Google photos so you can't easily upload photos when doing things like posting stuff for sale online, etc.
- drag and drop for files/photos also does not seem to work well or at least not intuitively
- a big selling point appears to be that the new CBs can use the Google play store to download apps however I think dedicated android and chromeOS apps would have been better....just my opinion but I consider this to be a con vs a pro
now for this model specifically:
- looks nice, like the rose gold hinges
- display doesn't seem that great
- apparently this one DID NOT come with a stylus which is pretty lame :/
- tablet mode doesn't seem to work well
- mouspad/trackpad is wearing out already after less than 6 months of low moderate use
- CB itself seems slow; I thought the processor and Ram would be sufficient but apparently not, which is very annoying.
overall would either recommend a more powerful CB *or* would say just bypass the CBs altogether and go with windows, mac, or linux
also battery life is only okay and the phone sync option doesn't work well either.

I was replacing a similar model that I passed down to someone else because I really wanted a new computer. I picked this one because for the low maintenance work I do, it’s perfect.

Actually best Chromebook, but might not scale well into the future due to the 8GB RAM and processor. Also, keys are a bit hollow and mushy and the body is as well. The trackpad is a pretty stiff diving board design. Glossy screen no like. But functionally it's outstanding.

Restarts unexpectedly from Sleep everyday

This chromebook restarts unexpectedly from sleep everyday and it's very annoying. I've contacted Acer support and we've done a factory reset, hardware reset, and I had held out for an OS update (went from version 130 to 132) but still nothing seems to fix it. Now I'm out of my return window and Acer suggests I send it to them to fix it. Brand new laptop and it needs to be sent in for fixing. Terrible..

My only complaint is that the touchscreen seems to be resistant to my touch. I am still learning to use this computer's os as it is quite a bit different than the windows os that I am used to.
