If your company uses Google Docs more than just a little, you may never need to buy another laptop. Chromebooks can become the mobile device of choice. Those who prefer smearing fingerprints on their screen rather than using a touchpad can opt for the Chr...
First and foremost, the C720 model we're reviewing is the $249 model with 4GB of RAM. Not to be confused with the $199 model that has 2GB of RAM, or the $299 C720P which has a touchscreen. Onwards.Simple, strong and effectiveLet's not sugarcoat things her...
Abstract: The Acer C720 was recently released as the latest Google Chromebook selling for just $199 USD. I have been running the Acer C720 Chromebook recently but not with Chrome OS and instead Ubuntu 13.10 Linux. This Chromebook with a Haswell-based dual-core Cele...
Low price, Solid design and build, Surprisingly good audio, Great end user experience
Not a full laptop replacement, Bezel and chassis attract fingerprints
Considering the competition, the Acer C720 Chromebook delivered solid scores in our web-based benchmarks. In our hands-on time with the machine, we were pleased with this chromebook’s performance; the system’s responsiveness is always snappy, the keyb...
The Acer C720 is definitely a good buy. But before you decide to buy it, I'd suggest that you go ahead and see if you can live in just a web browser. Because that's all Chromebooks are, is a web browser. Now if you can do all your daily tasks in Chrome,...
The Acer C720-2800 ChromebookDevoid of the flashy exterior and attractive screen of the HP Chromebook 11, the Acer C720-2800 Chromebook might look just like every other Chromebook that's come our way to date. In some regards, it is the case quality is low...
Quite light and thin. Chrome OS is constantly updated. Matte finish on display. Quick boot times. HDMI and USB 3.0 ports. 6.5 hour battery life.
Chrome OS offers limited offline use. No 3G option. No Touch screen
The Acer C720 (C720-2800) comes closer to Chromebook nirvana, but we still haven't reached that level yet. It's a couple of tweaks from being the perfect low cost bridge between mobile device and full-fledged laptop....

Excellent performance, specs for the price, Great battery life, Reasonably solid construction, Thinner and lighter than before, Plain but inoffensive styling
Mediocre screen, Somewhat unsatisfying keyboard, Harder to upgrade than last year
USB ports cover both USB 3.0 and 2.0; HDMI included; SD card slot provided; Excellent keyboard; Decent battery life;
Mouse is a touch sticky and slow; Screen has terrible viewing angles; Plastic casing can feel a bit cheap;
It may not be as pretty as HP's Chromebook with its glossy white plastic surrounding a magnesium chassis, but Acer has made a better machine with excellent performance and more solid battery life.Beyond the battery, there's room to move with expansion por...
