Acer Chromebook Celeron ChromeOS Renewed Review

I reduced my 9 year old HP to this gem! I'll admit I was very nervous about going from a 17-inch HP (that weighed a ton) to an updated Chromebook, but I'm so glad I did. Yes, there is an option to use a Chromebook, but Google answered all of my questions. Very easy to set up, I'm 70 years old and it took me quite a bit of time to move everything I needed. If you're using Google or Chrome, it's pretty much self-configuring. Highly recommended!

Fast. So good. No scratch. Like new. If you're comfortable with a Chrome operating system and find it easy to use, then I highly recommend this Acer Chromebook.

Battery, memory and drive tested upon receipt. All tested well and the battery health was 104%. Will update if anything changes, but looks great for a budget laptop. The screen isn't great due to poor viewing angles, but paying under $200 for a 15-inch Chromebook is a lot regardless of the quality of the screen.

I missed the word "updated". It worked fine for about a week and then started to slow down. It "hung" and the mouse stopped working. I endured it as long as possible, put it back in the box and sent it off fine. I do NOT recommend this product in "updated" condition. . Spend extra dollars and get a brand new car!

Revain got this back by going to BestBuy and avoiding the seller I got it from. It turns on, you can hear it start up, but the black screen seems to be a faulty backlight.

I received this unit as a refurbished unit. Small scratch on the cover but overall in excellent condition and good value for money. I think overall it's a solid build, nothing feels flimsy including the keyboard and touchpad. The hardware pairs well with ChromeOS, and apps like the Chrome browser and Zoom run smoothly and without lag. The 15 inch display is perfect for hours of zoom sessions. Also, the speakers are loud and clear (especially when compared to the HP Chromebook15). The cost…

The first thing that struck me was the packaging. It was a very complex gel-like material unlike anything I had seen before. And the laptop arrived in perfect condition. It was missing a power cord, but a quick call resulted in action and I got the cord right away. Obviously an honest seller.

Just received the computer, it was a refurbished unit. Key stuck and had no spring. You would think they would check it before shipping. What really annoys me is that I have to return it and pay for shipping. Wouldn't buy from this seller again.

Subject to change, but great job. Simple matte screen (no reflection), easy to use and syncs with my phone (Android users). No more fiddling with 15 different programs to do the same task, everything is in GOOGLE! One much-missed bonus: There's a numeric keypad. Music from the internal speakers sounds tinny, but let's face it, who doesn't have an external Bluetooth connection these days? All in all a great purchase.
