Moderators rridgely Posted January 8, 2013 Moderators Share Posted January 8, 2013 I bought a acer c7 Chromebook from Bestbuy today. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it yet but I figured I would post about what I like and don't like. First off for a $200 computer its actually pretty nice. Its got a decent 11.6 inch screen (1366x768) and its relatively fast at browsing playing videos ect. Its light weight and very portable. The only real downside I can point out is that the keyboard stinks.(I don't like the feedback of the keys) I do like Chrome OS. Its extremely simple to use and you basically cant screw it up. I do 99% of my stuff within chrome now a days anyway and this computer runs every website and video I've played very well. I think this would be an excellent first computer for someone or a computer for someone who just wants to browse, send emails, ect. I think this is the perfect pc for those who use google docs, gmail, ect. I don't use gmail but google docs has started to grow on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWebAtom Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Chromebooks are brilliant. Truly unappreciated, I think. I'm Shane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted January 9, 2013 Author Moderators Share Posted January 9, 2013 I think they are a neat idea, but I just boxed mine up and its going back tomorrow. The hardware on the C7 just isn't good. The keyboard is bad, the trackpad doesn't have a left click option(you have to use two fingers) and its also really finicky. I do like Chrome OS though. I think its the device for people who want a simple productivity machine. Google docs works awesome(something android still cant do very well right now), and the form factor is very portable. I'm interested to try the new $250 Samsung version. They are sold out everywhere but I'll definitely give it a try when they come back in stock.
