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
