Simple to use

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
No 3G option
Hard drive out of place
Poor screen viewing angle
Limited battery life
No 3G
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

Despite the US/Australia price disparity, I rather like the Chromebook as long as you take it for what it is, not for what other systems may be able to do. It's as cheap as many tablets, but a little more flexible given the inbuilt keyboard and existing G...
Abstract: With a vision to reach the last man of the planet, and provide everybody with a safe and secure browsing experience, Acer partnered with Google to come with Acer C710-2847 netbook priced at $199 giving rivals like Samsung, and others a run for their money...
Inexpensive; Suitable for customers with either Mac or Windows PCs at home; Features plenty of hard drive space; Small power pack;
Lack of speed can be noticed; Mediocre battery life; Not the best keyboard; A not-so-obvious file management system means making use of the massive hard drive isn't as easy as you think;
Acer's $299 Chromebook is a great idea that comes in at a great price, but it's just not as great a product as we had hoped, letting us down in the keyboard and speed area.If you don't mind the trade off – mediocre usability for an excellent price – it's...
Good overall performance, Vibrant screen, Good keyboard and touchpad
Short battery life, Can get noticeably warm, Sticky Backspace key
Acer's C710 is not a laptop that will suit everyone, but if you are already a heavy user of Google's array of services, and if you just want a simple device on which to use those services, you should definitely give this Chromebook a go...

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....

Short battery life, Can get noticeably warm, Sticky Backspace key
While it does have some downsides, such as short battery life and noticeable warmth (in addition to the quirk with the audio on our test unit), the Acer C710 (Q1VZC) turned out to be quite enjoyable to use. As a basic laptop for browsing the Web at home a...
