Acer C720P Chromebook

 

Hands-on at CES 2014: It's all white with Acer's Haswell-powered 11.6-inch Google laptop

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...

Acer C720P Chromebook review

 

Is a Chromebook touchscreen worth $100?

Affordable ; Lightweight ; Speedy Intel CPU ; Good keyboard and touchpad ; Long battery life

Pricier than most Chromebooks ; Touchscreen adds little ; Chrome OS is limited

Acer's C720P Chromebook packs speed, a solid keyboard and endurance in an attractive and lightweight package. But is a touchscreen worth a $100 price hike?

Acer C720 Chromebook review

 

Acer's Chromebook balances power and price, but Chrome is still an underpowered OS

Inexpensive ; Fast processor ; Light ; Very fast boot-up ; Good battery life

Mushy keyboard and trackpad ; Tinny underside speakers ; Chrome OS is limited

For those times when you just want to get on the web quickly to answer emails or look something up, the C720 is ideal.

Acer C720p Chromebook review

 

The idea of a touchscreen Chromebook might seem a little odd. After all, Chrome OS is such a lightweight operating system, how would it benefit from adapting it to touch? Well, as it turns out, rather well. The secret lies in the fact that almost...

As a wallet friendly machine for browsing the internet and getting some work done the Acer C720p Chromebook is a great choice. The touchscreen really adds a nice upgrade to an already attractive package, and if you can live within the internet world of...

Acer C720 review

 

Acer has recently supplanted Samsung as the number one seller of Chromebooks worldwide, mainly due to the success of the C720 range. This particular variant of the C720 sits at the entry level point of Acer's Chromebook range, eschewing the...

The C720 doesn’t excel in any particular department, but it scores highly enough in most of them to make it a good all-rounder. Lightweight, fast, cheap, and actually quite a cool looking device. The keyboard is a little underwhelming, but for the...

Acer C720 Chromebook review

 

Acer's take on the browser-based Chromebook might just be the low-cost, low-power laptop we've been waiting for

Cheap ; Plenty of ports ; Decent battery life

Below-par screen ; Tinny speakers ; Lacks power

The Acer C720 is the most capable and useful Chromebook we’ve seen so far

The best Chromebooks so far: Acer C720 and Chromebook 13 [REVIEW]

 

Acer's Chromebook 13 and updated Chromebook C720 offer incredible battery life and performance, respectively -- and they aren't too pricey, either.

Blazing-fast performance ; Solid eight hours of battery life ; Good keyboard and trackpad

Display quality is barely okay ; No 13-inch model with a 1080p screen

The Acer Chromebook C720 is so good, it could be your full-time laptop.
