3.0 out of 5 starsToo expensive

Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2019

C720 is a good model, but not for its Celeron version, I tried to install Windows 10 on it, but I found it did not support sleeping

I want to tell college students:
1. Never buy a Atom/Celeron/Pentium/Athlon/ARM laptop, they look cheap now, but they only worth 1/10 of its price after one year; For Core/Xeon/Ryzen, they worth 1/2 after four years
2. Never buy a Chromebook, they are difficult to repair, and they do not support bios flash (or you can hack with mrchromebox), they support rare software from chromebrew, if you really understand computer science, you will find crouton is just a toy, they hold outdated hardware from mobile phone, but you can pay the same price to buy a used laptop with a real solid state hard drive from your classmate
3. Never buy a laptop with Optimus, they are very difficult to use under Linux and Hackintosh, fortunately, no a single Chromebook support Optimus

Wonderful
Fast
Efficient energy saver
Good audio and visual quality
For me it is way better than a regular laptop
Give you the opportunity to reset it to factory default if you are blasted by some bad malware. One had changed my screen, I then reset my Chromebook in less than 2 minutes, it was like new, like I had never got INFECTED.

It is as fast as an Iphone!
Amazing

There are so many adds and apps one can use. Awesome.

Cons;
Not enough memory space provided for offline files, however, one can use google drive. I don't like using google drive for everything. One can also use flash drive.

4.0 out of 5 starsExcellent for the Price

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2016

As a student, this chromebook has been invaluable in keeping me organized and on top of my classes. The seamless transition between unit and the cloud is extremely useful in maintaining notes and assignments across multiple devices. Hardware-wise the unit is pretty sturdy, I haven't thrown it around too much, but it's handled it's fair share of overstuffed backpacks. The construction does feel a bit plasticky, and I would prefer something with a bit of a more metallic feel, but for the price this unit delivers decent speed, excellent battery life (I've left it on sleep mode for days and woken it up to find a >50% charge) and handy cohesion with Google apps; I'm willing to overlook whatever cosmetic issues I might have. All-in-all, a highly recommended buy for students or anyone one on the move with a budget.

4.0 out of 5 starsLike it because

Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2016

Verified Purchase

Like it because: Amazing product. I have had it for almost 4 months now and it is great. I have 18 pages open right now and still flying at the speed of light on each page switching back and forth. This product is very under rated. Keyboard is bigger than most small computers which is nice for people with fat finger disorder, such as myself.

Main Problems with it: You can't use Microsoft programs but you can use google docs/slides/sheets. They work fine except for when you use sheets, you get into data analysis and sheets with a lot of data (over a hundred rows per page, multiple pages, and numerous formulas used). Also, saving as a word doc or PowerPoint will most definitely mess with the formatting but if that isn't a problem for you, then I highly recommend this product. I got around it by fixing up an old PC desktop which I use for excel and formatting word documents before submitting them for school (senior in college).

All in all if you can get over not using Microsoft programs this is the perfect choice.

Side notes: You can use caps lock (alt+search key)
I did have an ASUS 2 in one flip and I liked it for a bit but then it started to slow down and crash periodically. My thoughts are that for a computer with such a small processor and memory, things like touch screen and Microsoft slow them down too much (just an opinion).

5.0 out of 5 starsPerfect for college students!... if you install linux.

Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2016

Verified Purchase

The first thing I did was remove ChromeOS and install GalliumOS. It's a distribution of Linux that is made specifically for Chromebooks. It's fast, utilizes system resources well, and allows you to do things every other modern computer can do.

I use my chromebook for homework, programming, I used it in my Linux course for labs (didn't have to use school craptops!) and for Skype and movies and.

For the low price I paid, I am very satisfied with my order. The only thing I could ask for is better battery life..

I have Acer c720 since 2014, and the condition is excellent. I expected the same condition when I purchased this for my kids. I ordered two and both of them, the condition was horrible, missing parts and lots of scratches and peel off. They looked like not wiped once after the previous users. I returned immediately.

Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2020

Yes I know I was getting refurbished equipment. But if you ask me all they did was put it in a box and ship it. The item I got is surplus from a school district. It still has the labels on it the Cromebooks were not even cleaned. I ordered this because now I’m homeschooling my kids. Money is tight with one income now.
I was not looking for new but was hoping for more than fell off the back of a truck

Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2016

I purchased this Chromebook for my husband.He wanted something basic where he could check his email or Facebook and didn't care if he had word processing capabilities.He was used to using a Dell laptop with a touchscreen so it took him a little while to get used to no touchscreen on the Chromebook.Other than that, he is really enjoying having access to his own computer and likes the compact size.It's a great little laptop for the price!
