  • "Very usable, Inexpensive, Upgradeable Chromebook!"
    on by Itsjus10

    Pros *Price
    *Upgradeable (SATA HDD, 2 RAM slots
    *User replaceable battery (Samsung does not)
    *Ethernet port (Samsung does not)
    *3 USB 2.0 ports
    *VGA and HDMI out
    *SD card slot
    *Gloss Screen (Samsung is matte)

    Cons *Battery life - But user replaceable ;)
    *Weight (heavier than the Samsung)
    *Cooling fan (Samsung is fanless)

    Summary I originally bought the thin Samsung Chromebook..but returned it a few days later. 16gb of local storage and a washed out matte display wasn't very exciting. I switched to the Acer C7 because it offered more usable features for daily use (Ethernet, VGA etc.).

    I am also not a "Weight-Weenie" and can handle transporting a 3 pound device without a problem haha!

    I put the $50 savings towards a 64GB SSD and a 8GB DDR RAM upgrade. This gave me 10GB of RAM total. I then installed Ubuntu 12.04 Unity (dual booted). Now that Ubuntu is installed..it works like a normal laptop.

    I also found that saving movies locally and trying to play them using the Chrome OS was weak. It only played AVI files.

    Once Ubuntu was installed.. I was able to play all my movies locally using the VLC video player =D

    Hope this helps you determine which Chromebook to purchase.

  • "Buy it at a great price"
    on by MikeSpevs

    Pros easy to use. if you use chrome or gmail it is worth it. I am a lawyer who knows nothing about programming etc. but find this a very useful machine

    Cons Needs more apps. Battery life is fine except during super-storms I can plug it in at home.

    Summary Buy it you won't regret it if you know what you need.

  • "Don't buy from Google Play"
    on by abrazilian

    Pros The price is awesome, if only it wasn't broken.

    Cons It arrived broken and Google Play customer support was the worst ever.

    Summary Things happen - mine arrived broken. It took me 3 days of phone calls and emails to finally find someone at Google Play customer support that knew how to issue a return RMA. Now I am stuck paying 15% restocking fee and shipping costs, just to send them back their broken computer.

  • "Exactly what I needed!"
    on by NCSUandroid01

    Pros -Fastest boot time I've ever seen
    -No lag
    -Does everything I need in a computer
    -Great touchpad and keyboard
    -Lightweight
    -Screen quality isn't washed out like the $250 Samsung Chromebook

    Cons -Short battery life
    -Warm after long periods of use

    Summary Great computer for home use. Have yet to run into anything it couldn't do. It definitely helps having an HP Printer with ePrint capabilities. It seamlessly works with Google Cloud Print. Chrome Remote Desktop even makes it possible to get work done while I'm at home. Great purchase at $200.
