“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

“I bought this two weeks ago for everyday use apart from my laptop and it did not disappoint. The 2-in-1 caught my eye and I knew this would be useful for long term. The 13” OLED screen is perfect and it is fast! Would recommend if you’re looking for an everyday use tablet/laptop.” — usama · bestbuy.ca
