The editors didn't like
Shallow keyboard travel
Display washes out
Few apps optimized for touch
Low-end price is matched by its low-end feel. Chrome OS has natural limitations. Touch isn't always that useful in Chrome
Mediocre benchmark test results
No HDMI port
SD cards will stick out of card reader. No 4G/LTE option. Slightly narrow viewing angles
The price, the battery life and speed of operation are excellent. It's a very decent size too.
The touchscreen doesn't call for much use and the keyboard could be a little classier. Chrome OS is also far from perfect
It's hard to argue with the value on offer here. It's a great laptop for students but probably best to go for the cheaper model without the touch-enabled display...
Chromebooks are known for being speedy little machines, as Google’s OS is lightweight and nimble, and the Acer C720P is no exception. Under the hood it’s powered by a snappy Intel Haswell 1.4GHz processor, which absolutely flies, plus it boots up and wakes from sleep in a snap. You’ll find a standard array of ports on offer here, with a HDMI output, USB 3.0 port and a headphone/mic combo jack on
There’s not much to fault Acer on with its latest hardware, although the C720P does lack the Chromebook Pixel’s glorious 1080p full HD screen - but hey, it’s not trying to compete on equal footing and pricing anyway. Do be aware that you’ll only find 16GB of storage on the C720P, which seems meagre when compared with other Chromebooks that pack in huge hard drives, but the SSD disk is fast, and b
The Acer C720P Chromebook is a solid choice if you’re in the market for a Chrome OS-powered machine, and until Samsung’s super quiet, mobile-powered Chromebook 2 hits, Acer’s effort is definitely our favourite low priced Chromebook - just remember, the...
Attractive black-and-white design, Pleasing keyboard and touchpad, Quick processor, Solid battery life, Good value
Low-quality 720p display, Weak speakers
The Acer C720P Chromebook is a solid laptop. The processor is adequately quick, the keyboard and touchpad hold up under heavy use, and the battery offers plenty of life for a system of this size. Given these traits, it's easy to see why some consumers a...

Affordable, Lightweight, Speedy Intel CPU, Good keyboard and touchpad, Long battery life
Pricier than most Chromebooks, Touchscreen adds little, Chrome OS is limited
As an affordable laptop, the Acer C720P Chromebook has a lot to offer: A thin and light design, an excellent keyboard and touchpad, and impressively endurance. As a Chromebook, however, the C720P fails to justify its above-average price tag. The gimmicky...
Chromebooks on the whole have to make certain sacrifices to keep the price tag low and usually it's the screen quality and power that suffers the most. With the C720P, Acer manages to address these issues and while we probably can't expect a full HD displ...

Abstract: We're not the biggest Chromebook fans here at Pocket-lint, but they've been going down a storm with the public eager to snap up these affordable Google-OS-based machines. And Acer has stepped up to the plate and introduced the first affordable touchscreen...

Inexpensive, Fast processor, Light, Very fast boot, up, Good battery life
Mushy keyboard and trackpad, Tinny underside speakers, Chrome OS is limited
One key criterion we like to use in evaluating a product is whether we'd actually want to use it day-to-day. The Acer C720 Chromebook has many faults and limitations, but even taking all of those into account, it's something we definitely would want to u...
In deciding whether the Acer C720 Chromebook would make a good purchase, you first need to determine whether Chrome OS is right for you. Though it's possible to run a full Linux installation on this system, we hesitate to recommend it for that purpose. Yo...

Plastic heavy design, not too fast, very little storage space
