Acer Chromebook Review
Great quality. Value is worth it. Functionality is appropriate for my elementary schooler to do homework and educational learning activities on. Storage capacity is adequate. Very easy to store and lightweight for carrying.

Awesome Chromebook
I am very happy with this laptop! Even though it has only an 11.5” inch screen, it’s very easy to look at for a long period of time. The keys are not too close together, so typing is a breeze. It was very easy to set up. Straight out of the box, you just plug in the charger and then turn on the laptop. Mine had a 96% charge on it already. The set up was so easy following the step-by-step instructions on the screen. It even synced up my bookmarks from my old laptop! It is Bluetooth enabled, which made it very easy to work from my apartment. It has a good weight and seems very sturdy. I like that it is light enough though to carry around in my backpack. It holds a charge well. It’s a very basic laptop, with not a lot of bells and whistles. But that’s all I need. I don’t do any streaming or movie watching on it. Basically I use it for social media, emails, and Amazon. So it’s exactly right for my use! I’m so happy that I got this Chromebook. My old laptop was also a Chromebook, and I never had any issues with it getting any viruses. This is the best Chromebook for the money, in my opinion. Great price on it too!

Worth the money!
Love this guy! I just use it for doing the usual office work like email, doing my taxes/bookeeping, browsing the net and watching youtube. It’s basically anything anyone needs unless they were going to get into some very high end stuff like the arts or gaming. Other than that, you’re good to go. I’ve had it for one year now with no issues! Definitely worth the money!

You need to know how to use two finger scrolling
Thought my computer was defective because the arrow keys didn’t seem to work. Maybe it is but I read a review that mentioned two finger scrolling so I looked that up and learned how to use two finger scrolling. Very happy now but still trying to get used to it not being a touch screen. (Two finger scrolling is when you use two fingers on the touch pad and drag them up or down. You also need to have the cursor in the area where you want to scroll which catches me off guard some times when I don’t pay attention to where the cursor is.)

Will not stay connected to the internet.
In 2020, I purchased a Samsung Chromebook. After three years, it stopped updating, and its functionality slowly deteriorated. Some websites won’t load, and making purchases is limited to certain sites. During this summer’s Prime, I searched for a replacement. The Acer seemed like a reasonable replacement.Within a day of receipt, I had trouble staying connected to my internet. I work from home for a creative agency using a Mac and my partner is a video editor who uses a PC. We have never had issues staying connected on the other three laptops. I searched reviews and Reddit and made some recommended adjustments but nothing worked. I reached out to Acer hoping they would be able to troubleshoot but they needed me to FedEx it to TX. At least they provided a shipping label and the kind folks at FedEx gave me a free box. I arrived overnight and was shipped back to me the same day. Suspiciously fast! The notes on the paper left in the box were a little condescending. It appears they replaced a few parts. I know they didn’t have time to really test it! Sure enough about a day into using it and I wouldn’t stay connected to the internet. Frustrating! I called Acer again and their solution was to have me ship it back. At that point, I was pretty annoyed. What were they going to do that they didn’t do the first time? Shipping it 5X is not cost-effective. Why not just send me a new one??????? Also, I’ve been without a personal laptop for a few weeks now. So the guy said a supervisor would call me. It took 10 days of phone tag (a different very frustrating story) We spoke on a Tuesday. He said I had to ship it but he’d expedite and make sure I’d get it back by the weekend. It was back in TX for 12 days. So 2 weeks later I got the laptop with an even more condescending note that says they replaced the motherboard. At this point, with parts, shipping, and labor we’re way beyond the cost of a new machine! AND I’m well past the window to just return it through Amazon. So now I’m stuck with this laptop that WILL NOT stay connected to the internet. I will be in the middle of something and have to reboot. And BTW Acer didn’t follow up once to see how it’s going. Horrible service, garbage laptop. My next personal computer will be something else!My Samsung has never had this issue. If I didn’t stop updating I’d still be using it regularly.

A Good Small Reliable Laptop
I really like this small but fast computer. The Chrombook is responsive so far there hasn’t been any problems. I like how downloading updates is fast. Starting the Chromebook up the first time was fast and easy. My surprise is the speakers are not that bad. I had another Chromebook and the speakers were horrible. The speakers on this Chromebook are clear and loud. I feel like Acers improved the Chromebook from the last one i owned. There is one downside the screen is small It’s not a deal breaker for me. Everything works great I’m glad i bought it

I ordered the laptop for work and for practising digital art. i drew the picture with hand. And still could get the best of it. So far it is working wonderfully. Battery life is 10h even while working and painting. Touch activity is smooth and not lagging.

I got this for my 6 year old daughter for her to use Zoom, Facebook Kids, and YouTube Kids. All 3 work 100% fine. I have no idea what the other reviewers are talking about when they say it isn’t able to stream videos or be used for video chat. There’s been no delays, drops, buffering, nothing. I mean this isn’t a powerhouse of a machine to begin with, but it’s more than adequate for basic video and video conferencing applications. Some of the nice touches are the build quality is sturdy and the screen is Corning Gorilla Glass which makes for an overall quality product. Personally I think it’s a crime that they’re still releasing models in 2020-2021 with only 32gb of storage. With how cheap it is now adays, nothing should come in less than 128gb on a new product. Ram is a little lackluster too at 4gb, but fine for the basic use of a 6 year old.I’d call this a buy if you’re only planning on doing some web surfing, video conferencing, and YouTube.
