The Acer C7 Chromebook is one of those rare gadgets that actually looks better in the flesh than in press pictures
It’s a handsome laptop of metallic grey and black
And very portable. It’s incredibly solid for such a low price too
The excellently spaced keyboard shows no sign of give in the centre whatsoever.There’s also a hefty 320GB hard drive on board
So you can happily use the Acer C7 Chr

Limitations of Chrome OS
Poor battery life
Unresponsive keyboard
No 3G option
Hard drive out of place
Poor screen viewing angle

Keyboard isn't an enjoyable typing experience
Built-in hard drive slows things down
Chunkier and weightier than similar competitor
App limitations
While the keyboard is resoundingly sturdy for such a cheap laptop
It does have a little drawback
Tiny cursor keys that are too hard to find
And which rub up too close against the Page Up and Page Down keys. That wouldn’t be so bad were it not for the slightly creaky trackpad
Which even on maximum settings is a bit slow and unresponsive - given both Mac OS X and Windows 8’s wonderful use of ge

Abstract: My opinion of Google's Chromebook concept was heavily influenced by the original Samsung Series 5, which I reviewed here in Micro Mart. I accept now that many things have changed since then, and Chrome OS is now a more mature experience.Combining those de...
