🚫 Acer C720 Chromebook (11.6-Inch, 2GB) No Longer Available from Manufacturer Review

Bought for use at work/home because I was tired of surfing the internet with my phone and wow! It's a $200 netbook pretending to be an ultrabook. Remote Desktop is amazingly fast, typically hitting 10 fps over local WiFi and 3-4 fps over the Internet. It works with proxies and VPNs, the solid-state storage is user-upgradable, the battery lasts about 7 hours when not watching video, the screen is perfect for watching a movie alone or with another person, and everything just works. There was a…

I can't think of a better computer buy. If you use your computer to surf the web, check email, update Facebook, or do any other online activity, get a Chromebook. A little background: I'm an IT Analyst at a large utility company and have been working with and fixing computers for almost 20 years. I never buy new desktops, but I've bought several laptops for portability. I love this little powerhouse, it boots up in less than 5 seconds says seven but I've never seen it take that "long".

The warranty process started the 1st week of July 2014. Contacted the Acer Outlet warranty department who originally wanted me to send them a video BEFORE the shipping label. I sent them a video after I received the shipping label and when I got hold of it, of course I sent it to UPS after the powerwash. Got KB back with the…

As a former MacBook Pro and Windows Laptop user I was very skeptical about the switch at first. Over 26 months later and I really like this little Chromebook. It still works and I paid about 1/10th the price of my wife's fancy MacBook Pro. My mouse gets stuck about twice a year and when that happens I just reboot and it's like rain. The browser also crashes, maybe once a month or so, and usually requires a restart again (refresh button + power button). Restarting this thing seriously takes 10…

This is a great machine for internet access, email and document creation via Google apps. If that's all you do, this could be a great option for you. I believe this is all that more than half of the population needs, but there are limitations. Here is my list of pros and cons. Cons: 1. You cannot run Microsoft Office or other PC software. This is the key hover for Chromebook. If you need PC specific software, you need PC.2. You cannot connect directly to a printer3. Using it offline (without an
