For the price, this is a really nice budget notebook computer. I originally purchased a Lenovo IdeaPad in the same price range which on paper is a bit better: slightly faster, slightly better battery, bigger hard drive and a really nice form factor. However I ended up returning it because the screen was abysmal and I found it unusable. This Acer is one of the only notebooks at this price range tha Doug · Target

I needed to find chromebooks with good reviews that weren't steep on the wallet. I ran across this Acer and purchased 2. I am very pleased with this purchase. The kids get to complete their school while I currently work from home during this new norm. This is a win-win! It operates fast, no lag time, came packaged well and secured, the case fits perfectly. It didn't have many unnecessary preloaded anonymous · walmart.com
