Cheap
Good build quality
Pretty good screen
Simple to use
320GB hard drive built-in
Like a Google hub that's conceptually ideal for day-to-day tasks
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

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

Surprisingly good screen, Reasonable keyboard, Good performance by Chromebook standards
Poor battery life and noisy, Limited peripheral support, Apps affected by Internet connectivity
In a whole lot of ways, the Acer C7 Chromebook is a good ultra low-budget laptop. It has a surprisingly decent screen, a usable keyboard and trackpad and enough performance to run a wide range of applications. It’s streets ahead of any netbook you could...
The Acer C7 Chromebook (C710-2847) isn't the slickest laptop out there, but it runs Chrome OS, has a roomy hard drive and a full selection of ports, and sells for a song....

The Acer C7 Chromebook is by far the most impressive and versatile Chrome OS computer we’ve tested, even if it’s not even the most powerful. At just £199, it’s seriously worth considering if all you’re after is a little netbook for browsing Amazon on t...

Chrome OS, Battery life
Poor build quality, Reliant on internet connection, No local storage, External storage issues, Dull screen
Abstract: Google's Chromebook notebook computer is the ultimate insider's play. It's designed by Google and its partners for Google users. If you're not familiar with Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive and the plethora of other Google apps, then a Chromebook may...
Very inexpensive, Ethernet and wireless connectivity
Cheap plasticky feel, Display has limited viewing angles
The Acer C710-2457 is a bargain among Chromebooks, but there's little else about it that makes it worth buying—or that will convince a smartphone or tablet user to convert....
One of the least expensive Chromebooks. Larger RAM means zippy performance. Full selection of ports, including HDMI and Ethernet. Keyboard blends traditional and Chrome layouts.
Smaller battery means shorter battery life. Smaller local storage. Chrome OS offers limited offline use. No 3G option
The third variation on the Chromebook theme, the Acer C7 Chromebook (C710-2457) drops the price but loses a couple choice features to do so. But even with the changes it's still a bargain....

The Acer C710-2457 is the least expensive Chromebook on the Google Play store, and comes with a set of base features competitive with Samsung's $250 Chromebook
Cheap-feeling Netbook-like construction, small touch pad, limited battery life, and unimpressive display and speakers, plus, Chrome OS is inherently limiting for offline use so this isn't as versatile as a traditional PC. Meager 16GB of onboard SSD storag
If you want one of the least expensive Web-browsing devices that feels like a laptop but is really a Chromebook, the Acer C7’s fine. But its limitations match its price.
