use as general computer. it is a little bit on the heavy side.

Amazing laptop. Daughter loves it.

I wasnt expecting Deep Thought or anything. I know Im buying a notebook for $300 but it lags really badly right out of the box. Even just opening Chrome after it boots up you have to wait yp to 10 seconds for the mouse cursor to respond again. Theres only one account registered on it, I dont save anything locally or in the cloud I use an external drive. I really only use it to draft emails and manage some documents for my nonprofit support group.

So far I like this. I just set it up yesterday. I should have realized that Gorilla glass would mean the screen is just like my phone - there is a lot of glare. My old Chromebook had an anti-glare screen, which I much prefer. Oh well - thats my bad.

This is an excellent Chromebook and I am quite happy with my purchase. The only disappointment is that it doesnt self-store the pen/stylus as I had concluded after investigation. Being the kind of person that loses unattached things, this is unfortunate.

I got a really good deal on this laptop/tablet. Its performance is stunning. The ChromeOS is superior to Windows in every respect (except running windows applications), but with Linux supported and Windows emulators that run on Linux, I suspect that wont be a problem much longer.

I have owned several cheap Chromebooks, but after reading the reviews I decided to splurge on a really good one. What a difference an aluminum chassis, a 13.5 3:2 format high resolution (2256 x 1504) Gorilla Glass screen, a core i5 processor, 8 gigabytes of memory, 128 GB of storage, and a backlit keyboard makes-- not to mention the included EMR pen. Needless to say, those cheap Chromebooks are just gathering dust now, Ill never go back to them after this experience.

I got a refurb of this product, and there is absolutely not anything that indicates this.

If you are willing to give up an hour or two of battery life for 2 to 5 times the CPU power, then you are trying to decide between the Lenovo C630 or the Acer Spin 13 (both models run rings around a Pixelbook or Pixel Slate). Both models max out at an Intel I5-8250U CPU, with which comes the whirring of a cooling fan at times. Both have the same RAM, storage, and an IPS screen (Lenovo has a 15.6 screen, the Acer a 13.5 screen). The Lenovo price on Amazon is usually $619, the Acer $749. Why is a smaller panel priced higher than a larger panel for the same CPU, RAM, and storage, you wonder. The answer is ... the 2256 x 1504 screen on the Acer is much better than the Lenovo FHD screen. The difference is not only resolution, but color accuracy and saturation. The whites on the C630 are yellow-white... very noticeble. The whites on the Spin 13 are brilliant white. Ive had multiple Windows laptops from Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo, etc., Chromebooks from Asus, Acer, and Lenovo, and many tablets. My summary is: you live with the screen every second you attend to a computer, the keyboard less, and everything else far less (trackpad, CPU, etc.). For that reason, I cannot stand cheap Chromebooks... the screens are horrible. IMO, the Acer screen is more than halfway to a Samsung AMOLED, using the the Lenovo C630 screen as a base, and hits a sweet spot as priced on Amazon. A second factor is size&weight: portability. For me 15 is TOO big, and the 13.5 size of the Lenovo hits a sweet spot for portability. So, having been reluctant to click on $749, I kept using a Samsung Chromebook, even though I wanted a bigger display and MORE POWER. When the Spin 13 went on sale on Pi Day, clicking was immediate... patience rewarded. The Samsung has a new home, as do all the Chromebooks before it, and the occasional whirring of the Spin 13 goes unnoticed.

My daughters use it more than me. battery life good, they play roblox on it without a problem for the most part. So its not lagging. Might buy another one later down the line. I know this isnt best review I thought it best to say something and give acer their props
