I have been using this laptop for several weeks now and I am very impressed. This is now my favorite computer! I did upgrade the SSD drive to a 64Gb drive which seemed to improve the performance and I have been pleased every since. As Google says, it is instant on and off so you never wait. The battery life seems to last forever. It far exceeds any other laptop I have every had, especially at this extremely low weight. I love that TPM is build into the platform for heavy encryption of the storage and I like having separate profiles between users.
It is a shift to have your data and applications come from the cloud but it works and completely integrates with my phone, a Samsung Note 3. Once I got familiar on how to use my Chromebook and Google tools, I decided to move all of my personal content to my Google Drive - all of my pictures, documents, music, etc. I encrypt sensitive information with Boxcryptor on my Google Drive. This works well on my Chromebook and my phone. I am now using my C720 for doing just about everything I use a computer for - creating and editing documents, editing and posting pictures, doing video calls and messaging with Google Hangouts. watching movies, listening to music and more.
By the way, the wireless radio on this laptop is amazing. I have not seen another laptop beat it in speed tests on my wireless network - this includes custom gaming laptops with special wireless cards, a Macbook pro, iPads, phones, etc. Only my Samsung Note 3 with support of 802.11ac comes close. I couldn't believe it at first but test after test showed the same result. Simply amazing especially at this price point! I am not sure how Acer did this.
Wi-Fi access in Google sponsored locations is automatic as well. I noticed that I got instance access in some locations without hitting the captive portal page and having to go through a registration process to get Internet access. That is pretty cool. When I travel, I like this laptop to my mobile hotspot on my phone and I am connected whenever I want to be.
There are times when I am using unsecured public Wi-Fi that I like to get my access through a VPN tunnel so I set up my Chromebook to use a L2TP VPN tunnel. You can set it to automatically connect to the VPN server once Wi-Fi is connected and this works very reliably.
I also use this laptop with an external mouse, keyboard and monitor in docking mode. I was even more surprised to see this laptop drive the display on my laptop while also driving my external display that is a 1080p monitor through HDMI. You can extend the display or mirror your laptop display. Either way works very well and I have never had even one issue, which is rare. I have seen Macbooks and Windows computers choke on driving external displays more often than they should.
Watching video on this laptop has been a very good experience as well. I watch Netflix, YouTube & Google movies and my own video files with no issue on my laptop or with an external display. The video is very smooth. By the way, any Google movie you buy can also be watched through YouTube.
This laptop will also reach multiple file systems on USB drives. I have tried Windows and Linux partition formations without issue.
In summary, this is a solid device from Acer. This laptop will spoil you and delivers far more value that most laptops several times more expensive. It is easy to use by design but it is very functional for a wide range of users. I am recommending this laptop to everyone looking for laptop. There are some new ways of doing things in the Google Chromebook model but I think that is an easy transition to make and will greatly simplify your life once you do! I also suggest looking at some of the Chromebook books on tips and tricks. That really helped me in my transition as well.
Overview:
It's not necessarily a laptop replacement, but it's better than a laptop in a few ways. The main strength of the Chrome OS is that it is very difficult to hack, and it is usually intuitive and fast to use. This could replace a laptop for someone who only checks their email and does not need a computer for anything apart than web browsing. It's light, inexpensive and operates as a computer for accessing one's google drive and online resources. Everything that it does is FAST, extremely fast for a computer with 2GB.
Reasons why I bought it:
I have a mac book pro, but after it experienced connectivity issues with my campus network I realized that I only used photoshop and other memory intensive programs at home. I now carry this chrome book with me because it is light, inexpensive and will allow me to upload files for class, type, check my email and visit facebook. It's a mobile computer which I use to submit assignments and can even do in browser programming for class. It's a chromebook dedicated for getting work done, if I need power I'll go home or elsewhere--with this I can't play games (a definite plus for productivity's sake) and feel motivated to work. I sometimes keep it open at home in order to check my email while I'm working on my computer. I also wanted a smallish computer that didn't run windows or android--this fit the bill.
This works for me because if necessary-- there are plenty macs and pcs on campus if I need other programs. Also it's fine for anything that I might need to do in a coffee shop.
Size: Small and light. I know average sized men who use it therefore the small size is not necessarily an impediment for average use, but the small size might also make it suitable for a child. When it's in my backpack I don't even notice that it's there.
positives:
+ 7 second boot up
+ watching videos online is great
+ Light
+ 200 dollars is a stellar price for its size and functionality
+ App store has note taking apps for class
+ decent battery life (8 hours)
+ FAST
negatives:
- keyboard and track pad are average (use a usb mouse)
The keyboard does not feel wonderful on my hands although it is certainly an attractive chiclet style board.
- /+ offline functionality is not superb--average. Carrying a usb drive for backup might be useful for some people.
- the slideshow part of google drive is unreliable, don't depend on it
- Feels unsubstantial-- some people might drop it if they're not careful--it is very light, don't leave it near the edges of tables if you have a cat.
Improvements:
I would like a less "grainy" keyboard, a more comfortable track pad, skype and a full-ish microsoft office would also be great (but I knew this before I bought the computer). Perhaps having microsoft office would defeat the purpose of a chromebook? If it is offered in the future I'll try it though.
Also, if something were to happen to my main laptop or it were in the shop (never happened) I could still have a screen larger and more comfortable than my ipod touch. For the price--this is a wonderful machine and I plan to use it until it no longer works.
Recommended for:
teachers, students, grad students, fans of chrome os, web browsing people, travelers
Case suggestions: I bought the timbuk2 quickie case for this in XS and I'll probably review it when it arrives. I already have it for my 13 inch mac, therefore if it fits--I'll be very pleased. Although it might be a 200 dollar computer, I want to protect it from bangs and scratches, as well as have room for a mouse and the power cord.
I recommend finding a nice mouse to use with this chromebook.
+++ I't's also possible to run Linux OS as a dual boot on this chromebook. I'll write a sentence or two about this experience when I accomplish it.
Feel free to ask me any questions about this chromebook and I'll be happy to answer them.

Reviewed in Canada on January 22, 2021
The only way to get programs onto this device is through the app store, its not possible to download software from other locations, it reminds me more of IOS or Android than OSX or windows. Like IOS and Android because software comes through the store you don't really have to worry about viruses.
Its totally locked into the Google ecosystem, so if your like me and like google products its perfect, if your not a google person and don't want to become one maybe look at something else.
I feel like I got my moneys worth on this and will definitely recommend this to my parents.
