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.
Inexpensive
Fast processor
Light
Very fast boot
Up
Good battery life
Attractive black-and-white design
Pleasing keyboard and touchpad
Quick processor
Solid battery life
Good value

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
In deciding whether the Acer C720 Chromebook would make a good purchase, you first need to determine whether Chrome OS is right for you. Though it's possible to run a full Linux installation on this system, we hesitate to recommend it for that purpose. Yo...
With its aluminum skin, bright full HD touch screen, and comfy keyboard, the latest Acer Chromebook 15 makes a surprisingly strong argument for ditching a Windows laptop and going Chrome. The Pentium CPU holds back performance but enables impressive batt...

Abstract: There's a Chromebook for virtually every need and budget. And while we've been looking at some of the newer form factors (like the all-in-one desktop ), it's time to go back to basics. Smooth performance and a budget friendly price – is this the Chromeboo...
The Acer C720P is a really nice little device–it has a small footprint and a small price tag, but performs very well and the touchscreen display is a joy to watch and to use. I appreciate the minimal design, the smooth surface without any fussy patterns o...

Abstract: For some things, you need an expensive computer. But most people don’t do those things. If you’re not trying to play games or run Photoshop, if all you want is a computer that’s great for watching Netflix and keeping tabs on your email, you don’t need to spend a fortune to get a good-looking, fast computer with all-day battery life. Just buy a Chromebook...

The Acer C720p Chromebook isn't as pretty as the Google Chromebook Pixel or even the HP Chromebook 11. But it's one of the fastest Chrome OS laptops around. It's the cheapest model with a touchscreen. And it gets all-day battery life (assuming you count...
Great boot times and battery life. Dualband 802.11a/b/g/n WiFi. Bright, antiglare, 10point touch screen. Under three pounds. Desktopclass browser. Has 32GB local SSD and 100GB Google Drive storage.

I won't say this is the best Chromebook, under $500 yet, but I will say it's pretty close. However, I may be a bit biased, as I've only ever used Acer and Samsung Chromebooks, aside from the Pixel which isn't under $500. The Acer C720P is definitely a g...
