I loved the idea of having a Chromebook with a full keyboard with number pad. But I wouldn’t buy this again. I switch between using a normal keyboard for my work windows laptop, the laptop keyboard and this one. I mostly touch type (with the occasional glance down for some function buttons etc) and cannot get my bearings on this keyboard as it is a little cramped, the main keyboard part is skewed to the left (of course) and there’s no gap between the return key and the number pad. So I can’t “feel” my way around very well. They did centre the mousepad to the main keyboard which should aid use but I just really struggle. More than half the time I start typing absolute nonsense as I’m one key over and I have to start again.
Luckily I have a regular size acer Chromebook too so I use that if I need to type any significant amount (including this review) and mostly use this one for browsing and watching movies.
The sound is a bit tinny too and the plastic keys don’t feel as premium as others but they are responsive. Think this is pretty much as you may expect from the price point though. The screen resolution, brightness etc and touchscreen are great.
Other things to note which may not be too clear from the product description:
– The keyboard is not backlit
– The screen lies flat but does not flip over – so there’s no tablet mode (but it’s too big for that really)
– it does have a headphone jack (as well as supporting Bluetooth connection)
I already own an Acer Chromebook which has the pentium silver. So I am jealous I brought this one for my wife with the AMD processor which I have always liked better. The screen is big enough. The keyboard is nice to use. The screen flexibility is good and can use as a very large tablet thanks to the touch screen. Picture quality is good with being 1080p. Definite value for money.
This is the ideal Chromebook for work, play and video – a flexible friend, there to entertain, support and nurture. Excellent battery life and an ergonomic dream of a keyboard, with a velvety touchy pad for the most precise of finger click shortcuts. It is a bit heavier than its leaner rivals, but I carry the weight and I carry it well. Life has never been better laptop wise, this truly is a one way ticket to a place none of us thought we would ever go, a computer that spins! Whatever next? I would highly recommend this product, but only if you have an actual need for a spinning laptop, I do not sadly, I thought I did, but now know I don’t, but I was sucked in by the idea of having a laptop that spins, turns out its totally, 100% infallibly, unnecessary.
Very happy with the chromebook. Battery life, screen size and brightness very good. A couple of very minor issues but overall I don’t regret buying it. It was a used item from Amazon so got it reduced as well.
Highly recommend
I bought this and a laptop of a similar price. This blows the laptop away so I decided to returned the laptop and I just bought a second one of these. The touchscreen is great. It’s like a massive tablet with a keyboard when you need it. Best of both worlds.
