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

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

The Acer Chromebook C720P has a good keyboard, an SD expansion slot, USB 2 and 3 ports, and HDMI, plus a touch screen. It also has more onboard storage (32GB) than most entry-level Chromebooks, and better battery life than most previous Chromebooks
Low-end price is matched by its low-end feel. Chrome OS has natural limitations. Touch isn't always that useful in Chrome
The Acer Chromebook C720P manages to get better at all the key things, adding up to a little laptop alternative that's better than any budget Chromebook we've seen before.
There was a lot to like about the Acer C720, and there's even more to like about the C720P. The laptop is very solid when held, and though plastic from top to bottom, it doesn't necessarily feel like a machine that costs $299 USD. The touchscreen is a w...
SD card sticks halfway out, Not much you can do with the touchscreen at the moment
Acer has been quick to add a touchscreen to its Chromebook line up, but there's not much you can do with the touch capability at the moment. If nothing else, it adds some much needed good looks to the Chromebook C720 series, and the C720P is still a solid...
First Chromebook in Australia with a touchscreen; Decent battery life; Supports SD card slots; Well designed keyboard;
Screen has weak viewing angles; Display is glossy and garners easy reflections; Touch doesn't really have a point on Chromebook… yet; A little expensive for this region;
We're still not sure if there's a point behind touch in a Chromebook, but if you expect a touchscreen in every computer regardless of the use, Acer's C720P makes it possible in a locally available Chrome-based laptop.Pages: 1 2Tags AcerChromeChrome OSGoog...
Affordable, Lightweight, Speedy Intel CPU, Good keyboard and touchpad, Long battery life
Pricier than most Chromebooks, Touchscreen adds little, Chrome OS is limited
Before buying any Chromebook, figure out whether you can survive in a browser-only environment. Compared to the dual UI of Windows 8, Chrome OS is wonderfully minimalist. However, tasks that users take for granted, like connecting a printer via Wi-Fi or i...

Lightweight and slim design, Small size, Loss of device won't result in lost data, 100gb Google Drive Storage
Battery life of the device isn't going to last you a full day, Requirement for always on internet, If you're not in the cloud, you need to move there to use a Chromebook, Availability is patchy in Australia at this early stage and varies from store to sto
The Acer C7 is great. However, the trade-offs (which are mostly related to Chrome OS, rather than this specific hardware) are the big point of contention for most users.The reduced battery life for reduced weight and size may be a deal breaker for some us...
7 Seconds to boot up, Looks great, Very Responsive, ChromeOS
ChromeOS, Requires an Internet Connection for full functionality
the Acer Chromebook C720p is a niche device that delivers great performance to a market that expects portability and functionality in one sweet reasonably priced package. The Chromebook as such, is the perfect device for university students on a tight b...

Good looks, Comfortable keyboard, Full-sized HDMI
SD card sticks halfway out, Not much you can do with the touchscreen at the moment
The Acer C720P is a capable Chromebook for accessing all the services that Google has to offer, and you'll get the most out of it if you already make use of Google's ecosystem of products. The idea of the Chromebook is to work primarily in the Cloud, usin...
