About this deal

The key travel is shallow, the keys are clacky and noisy, there’s no backlighting anywhere, and it will never give my MacBook Air a run for its money, but none of the keys stick and I was able to quickly get up to speed typing on it. It took the Acer C720P only 8 seconds to boot Chrome OS, which is faster than the Chromebook 11, which took 11 seconds. The redesigned keyboard means you won’t accidentally hit the Pg Up and Pg Down keys when you use the arrow keys.

Sure it means there's a small fan system and vent in the hinge area, but it also means I can have absolutely zero worry about performance on this laptop. All the while, I never stopped repairing computers, and in 2006, I started a technology consulting company in Louisville.

I’ve always loved how quickly my iPhone charges compared to other smartphones, and having that in a laptop is fantastic. In general the design is still kind of a hot mess of different textured plastics, with lightly-sparkly grey inside, matte black on the bottom, glossy black around the screen and now a faux brushed metal on the lid. On the Web GL Cube test, the notebook averaged 40 fps, presenting images fairly clearly and crisply, and quickly.

Acer C720 Chromebook Review | Trusted Reviews

Just like the previous model, I actually really enjoy using the C740 — it has awesome performance, a good keyboard and trackpad, solid build quality and the battery life will get you through whatever work you have to do. Briefly, TN panels are characterized as being the fastest and cheapest among the other main types of display panels. Also, the good battery performance of this laptop makes it the best take for students and business owners. The updated Acer C720 Chromebook runs a little warmer than the original in certain areas, likely due to the faster, more powerful i3 processor. This is not an attractive laptop even by last year's standards, and is further from cutting edge design compared to the 2015 competition.Far removed from the ARM-based chipset of the Chromebook 11, the Acer C720 features an Intel Celeron 2955U dual-core CPU clocked at 1. For all of the praise I (and others) have heaped on the C720 for being such a great Chromebook choice, it was made despite its poor screen. What it lacks is Ethernet port, but it is possible to add a USB Ethernet adapter for wired networking. In some regards, it is: the case quality is lower tier (and slightly flimsy in certain spots), the screen is uninspiring but capable enough, and the keyboard is hardly even mentionable in the same breath, with clattery operation and a thoroughly budget feel. In conclusion, with its Intel Celeron processor, the Acer Chromebook C720 can carry out basic computing tasks.
