This is a great little laptop, perfect for various family members to use for different things. My 9 yo can use it in computer class, and I can use it for recording audio, my 16 yo used it for Zoom drivers ed. Very intuitive, excellent quality, no issues. Love it.

Fantastic Chomebook For Most, 100% Worth the money

Fantastic Chromebook for me. Great battery life. The screen is rather good (LCD-IPS) so it is bright and with good contrast for watching video content (steaming or Youtube.com videos). This Chromebook is MUCH faster with it's Android apps than when I tried android apps on last years model Acer - Chromebook Spin 514.
I have at least 15 Chrometabs open with some android apps working in the background and I am not noticing any kind of slow down yet. This AMD & 8GB seem to be well equipped for everything I am throwing at it so far.
I love that this Chromebook has a slider thing to cover up the camera. All laptops should have that now!
I dont have noisy room, so I dont mind that speakers are not super loud. If you planning on blasting music in your college dorm room, you should probably look at other options.
The body feels very solid. Like it will hold up to me dropping it and doing stupid stuff to it. It feels very thin and well built. The only time when I think it feels too "fat" to me, is when it is in tablet mode and it gets twice as thick VS how you usually have it. But being able to fold it back into a tablet when I am watching youtube or steam video's is super nice. I couldnt go back to owning a regular laptop - non-folding laptop now.
Good: It has very small bezels, so you have a lot of content to be looking at. VS large 2inch bezels around the edge of the laptop screen.
BUT The downside of having the smaller bezels is that you can easily touch the touchscreen and you press buttons or close out of Chrome windows on accident. It is rather easy to accidentally touch the touchscreen when you are trying to adjust the angle of the laptop screen.
I love how this thing charges with USB-C vs some charger cable that doesnt work on any other devices.
The one thing I think I miss on this laptop is a fingerprint reader so I dont need to put in my long password... but you can connect your Android phone w/ Bluetooth to make getting into your chromebook faster. But for $600 I am willing to live without a finger print reader.
I am VERY tempted to buy my parents one of these Chromebooks. I think they would love the security and ease of use with a well built Chromebook like this.

This product has done everything I needed it to do. I am always in the go and constantly pulling out my computer for something or other. The battery life is fantastic. When I have a connection to wifi it works like a charm. Touch screen is not overly sensitive and it is super easy to transition to tablet or table top form. It helps me with my business presentations and displays slides in a clear screen.

This is one of the fastest Chromebooks I have ever used. The screen is beautiful and touch responsive. Thanks to WiFi 6 support, everything moves fast. My only minor complaint is that Acer should have included a backlite keyboard.

Perfect for my sons needs as a freshman. He’s always used a school provided laptop so he’s very happy to have his own. Review may change once school starts. Lol. But hopefully not!

Exactly what we were looking for, for my daughter for school. She is going to the 5th grade and this should last her for a couple of years to come, that’s why I bought it.

Perfect little machine! Powerful enough to handle a ton of apps while still usable as an everyday computer.
