The editors liked
Affordable
Lightweight
Speedy Intel CPU
Good keyboard and touchpad
Long battery life
Chromebooks are known for being speedy little machines
As Google’s OS is lightweight and nimble
And the Acer C720P is no exception. Under the hood it’s powered by a snappy Intel Haswell 1.4GHz processor
Which absolutely flies
Plus it boots up and wakes from sleep in a snap. You’ll find a standard array of ports on offer here
With a HDMI output
USB 3.0 port and a headphone/mic combo jack on
The price
The battery life and speed of operation are excellent. It's a very decent size too.

Fast processor
Light
Very fast boot
Up

Attractive black-and-white design
Pleasing keyboard and touchpad
Quick processor
Solid battery life
Good value
The editors didn't like
Pricier than most Chromebooks
Touchscreen adds little
Chrome OS is limited
There’s not much to fault Acer on with its latest hardware
Although the C720P does lack the Chromebook Pixel’s glorious 1080p full HD screen - but hey
It’s not trying to compete on equal footing and pricing anyway. Do be aware that you’ll only find 16GB of storage on the C720P
Which seems meagre when compared with other Chromebooks that pack in huge hard drives
But the SSD disk is fast
And b
The touchscreen doesn't call for much use and the keyboard could be a little classier. Chrome OS is also far from perfect
Abstract: Now I say I've been getting on well with it. And yes, on several occasions when I've been running around London, I've taken just the Chromebook and not been paranoid about leaving it in taxis because it's cheap and has no data on board. On foreign trips, ...
Abstract: So a good amount of my review concentrated on what Touch gives you that is harder to get without Touch.The first thing that springs to mind is the enlargement – or reduction – of web pages by movement of two fingers on the screen, very simple and especial...

It's hard to argue with the value on offer here. It's a great laptop for students but probably best to go for the cheaper model without the touch-enabled display...

The Acer C720P Chromebook is a solid choice if you’re in the market for a Chrome OS-powered machine, and until Samsung’s super quiet, mobile-powered Chromebook 2 hits, Acer’s effort is definitely our favourite low priced Chromebook - just remember, the...
Attractive black-and-white design, Pleasing keyboard and touchpad, Quick processor, Solid battery life, Good value
Low-quality 720p display, Weak speakers
The Acer C720P Chromebook is a solid laptop. The processor is adequately quick, the keyboard and touchpad hold up under heavy use, and the battery offers plenty of life for a system of this size. Given these traits, it's easy to see why some consumers a...

As an affordable laptop, the Acer C720P Chromebook has a lot to offer: A thin and light design, an excellent keyboard and touchpad, and impressively endurance. As a Chromebook, however, the C720P fails to justify its above-average price tag. The gimmicky...
Chromebooks on the whole have to make certain sacrifices to keep the price tag low and usually it's the screen quality and power that suffers the most. With the C720P, Acer manages to address these issues and while we probably can't expect a full HD displ...

Abstract: We're not the biggest Chromebook fans here at Pocket-lint, but they've been going down a storm with the public eager to snap up these affordable Google-OS-based machines. And Acer has stepped up to the plate and introduced the first affordable touchscreen...

Inexpensive, Fast processor, Light, Very fast boot, up, Good battery life
Mushy keyboard and trackpad, Tinny underside speakers, Chrome OS is limited
One key criterion we like to use in evaluating a product is whether we'd actually want to use it day-to-day. The Acer C720 Chromebook has many faults and limitations, but even taking all of those into account, it's something we definitely would want to u...
