We bought 2! We weren't sure about Google Chrome OS, but this little machine does everything the other OS does - and FASTER! We've only hit one little snag and that is a JAVA update needed to view one of the websites we visit quite frequently. Both of us especially like the word document program. We can send our "letter" via email right after we are through without the need to go to email, compose and then attach the letter. Quickie notes do the same thing. Since our work is research we send multiple emails back and forth everyday with multiple attachments and now all we have to do is hit "send" and chose who we want the document to go to! MARVELOUS! Saves us time. And since we are on the go all of the time - the size of this Chromebook fits perfectly in the saddlebags. Other reviews have complained about the size of the screen fonts - but all you have to do is go into settings and set the screen size to 115% and the font to large. Everything at these 2 settings allows everything on the screen to be seen easily. WE LOVE IT so far!

I love it. I like the cloud and i think it's neat that i can basically do everything there. However sometimes the chrome book seems a little wonky. For example my google cloud print stop working for a few weeks. My time is wrong! It has been a few weeks now, hoping that resolves itself. Sending help reports but google don't respond. Basically i have a tolerance for low end electronics and the chromebook is just awesome in every manner except where it's not. If it broke I would buy another one right away, but yet I wouldn't reccomend it to a friend. I would warn them that though I love it, they might not.

    Comments about Acer� C710-2847 2048MB 11.6" Chromebook:

    For those who primarily browse the internet and e-mail this product is great. Very easy to use. Boots fast and you have access to many good Google Apps. Still exploring the full capabilities of this product. So far it has not disappointed. Good for those who don't want to deal with computer software maintenance. It is somewhat restrictive since it runs most things online. I don't find this a big problem since for home it is mainly used for web browsing and e-mail.

        I got 2 of the Acer Chromebooks for my kids for x-mas. They were fairly easy to set up, but I am a Computer Tech as well. I'm not a huge fan of ACER PCs (but do like their monitors) but for the price, it was a good deal. It was interesting to see that these chromebooks are very difficult to get a virus on which since my kids are young is a HUGE consideration.
