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

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

Quiet, lackluster speakers, Poor battery life
Acer's C7 Chromebook is a stunning value. The only major sacrifice a buyer has to make is accepting the Chrome OS, which is becoming easier over time. Chrome OS is now capable of performing all the basic tasks the average user requires and many apps can...
A year ago it was tough to recommend buying a Chromebook. With prices starting at $450, it was hard to explain why you’d buy a laptop that only runs a web browser when you could spend the same amount or less on a notebook with a more versatile operatin...

The Acer C7 Chromebook is the most recent addition to the Chromebook universe and one of Google’s chosen few to be featured on their very own Chomebook portal. This device sits aside the Samsung Series 3 Chromebook as one of three (the other being a sl...
Shockingly low price, Plenty of ports, 100GB of free Google Drive cloud storage for two years, Competent screen and keyboard
Netbooky design, Disappointing battery life, USB 2.0, not 3.0
At $199, Acer and Google's newest Chromebook is practically an impulse buy—if not a must-buy—for anyone considering a 7-inch tablet but hoping to do productivity work instead of mere content consumption on the Web. ...

The Acer C7 Chromebook's very affordable price is its best asset, plus it's got plenty of ports and a large hard drive. It boots up quickly and is simple to use
Saddled with an ugly design, finicky touch pad, and short battery life, this feels like a far cry even from most budget laptops. The Chrome OS is still too limiting, though it's made some strides in a year
At $199, the Acer C7 is an attractive proposition for anyone looking for a supercheap portable laptop, but the Chrome OS and short battery life mean you'll have to accept a lot of compromises.

Abstract: Hello everyone, Toledo Gadgets Examiner here, now I know I haven't written anything in a very long time, and I was working on a very promising article on operating systems that work best for netbooks (particularly old netbooks), but, unfortunately, I was ...
With Google Chrome OS, Google has undertaken a great experiment. Unfortunately, that experiment has been a failure. From the outset Google promised that Google Chrome OS would provide an easy to use platform that was reliable, inexpensive, and relatively...

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 is fine. But its limitations match its price....
Abstract: We’re living in an age with an almost confounding variety of options when it comes to choosing your tech. With a panoply of smartphones, tablets, all-in-one PCs, desktops, ultrabooks, desktop replacements, tablet hybrids and tablet convertibles to pick from, actually figuring out which combination best suit your own needs can be a tricky task....
