Acer 2018 14′ FHD IPS Display Premium Flagship Business Chromebook-Intel Celeron Quad-Core Processor Up to 2.24Ghz, 4GB RAM, 32GB SSD, HDMI, WiFi, Bluetooth Chrome OS-(Renewed) 1111Capitals.com: Computers

The laptop came with proper packaging and power cables. Also it came with a one year warranty and helpline number. The laptop works really well. Speed is perfect. Excellent Buy for a student or home use or small business. Real value for money.

As the father of a high school student and a heavy user in my home office I’ve been through a bunch of Chromebooks (I buy a new one for me and give him my previous one each time his current one breaks, which is frequently) and have found them to be uniformly cheap (in the wrong way), underperforming and poorly made, particularly the HP Chromebooks which are frankly pure garbage. The Asus chromebooks are the best inexpensive ones I’ve found, at least they last longer than a few months, but they’re still quite cheap feeling.I took a chance on this Acer because it’s got HD resolution and IPS display in an aluminum chassis, and so far I couldn’t be happier with it. It’s the only chromebook I’ve used that actually feels like a laptop rather than a toy from Wal-Mart. It’s solidly constructed, has a high quality keyboard, excellent display and best of all really sings when using the internet. Every other chromebook I’ve used is laggy and slow, regardless of connection speed (200mbps+ at my house). This acer flies. Pages load almost instantly and there’s no lag when scrolling.I’ve been enjoying this chromebook so much I’m tempted to buy another just as a spare. But I’ll wait until my sons current Chromebook craps out, as they always seem to, and see how this one lasts in his backpack in the school environment.So far, this is the only Chromebook I would heartily recommend to anyone. Mine was refurbished and works flawlessly.

While this is my first Chromebook my wife has had one for a while and I’ve used hers extensively. We are preparing for a trip and my old Dell laptop is great but Its a brick! I bought this to use when traveling and light duty work.I research things pretty deeply before making a purchase. I decided on this model because in my opinion it is the best balance between cost and performance. There are Chromebooks that perform faster but you will pay significantly more for the difference in power. Since I purchased my Acer Chromebook the price has dropped to below $200.00.There are a number of reasons to consider a Chromebook. My reasons are:1. Starts up almost instantly.2. I don’t have to worry about viruses. Google does a great job of keeping Chromebooks virus free.3. It is lightweight and travels well.4. The battery will allow you to use your Chromebook many hours before needing a recharge.The pluses of this Chromebook are in no particular order:1. It comes with a wireless mouse. You will need to open the mouse to install the battery and to plugin the wireless adapter to your Chromebook to use it.2. The screen is gorgeous. I opened a movie on YouTube full screen and it looked great.3.The sound is better than I expected. The speakers are pretty good given they are small.4. It looks great. I must admit l don’t care about looks, I’m interested in performance. The refurbished Chromebook I received hasn’t a scratch, dent or any other blemish. It is flawless in appearance.5. The packaging is first rate. I always hold my breath wondering how well the seller is wrapping my purchase. This was the best protected purchase I’ve made on Amazon, bar none.6. This isn’t a powerhouse laptop and shouldn’t be put down because it isn’t good as a video editing machine, etc. This is a Chromebook and does well as a Chromebook. If you want to edit sound and videos a Chromebook isn’t the right machine for you.7. I like the two USB and 1 HDMI port on the left side of the laptop. The power plugin and headphone jack is located on the right side of the machine. Many Chromebooks don’t have this additional connectivity.8. It comes with 4 gigs of memory and 32 gigs of storage. Many Chromebooks come with 2 gigs of memory and 16 gigs of storage. This makes the Acer standout among Chromebooks at this price point.The Cons:1. The keys on the keyboard are slick. While this is a minor issue I would have preferred a keyboard surface that had a bit more texture. I have big hands and while I’m a touch typist the keyboard is a bit of change for me and will take some getting used to.

2018 Acer 14″ FHD IPS Display Premium Flagship Business Chromebook-Intel Celeron Quad-Core Processor Up to 2.24Ghz, 4GB RAM, 32GB SSD, HDMI, WiFi, Bluetooth Chrome OS-(Certified Refurbished)

(August 2, 2018) First off, although I tried to research this as well as possible, there is no model number mentioned anywhere, thus no way to tell for sure what exactly one will receive. Would be advisable to ask the vendor for the full model number – and make sure you get the info. I asked 3 questions and only got one answer. (And I could find no difference between the ‘Business’ model I ordered and the ‘Student’ model.)The unit arrived today, quickly safely in a cacoon. However as soon as I opened it I realized all was not well; there was ONLY the Chromebook and NO charger! Hmm… I ask you, how can one use a device without a way to charge it? I have sent a message to the vendor and will add to this review when I hear from them. THREE STARS for now…In the meantime I have had to order a charger and have it shipped overnight so it will arrive Friday. I will be on the road for two weeks starting Saturday evening and I really doubt the battery in the Chromebook will last that long. (Okay, a little sarcasm!) May not even last through the setup process of adding my apps, setting up email etc. Point is, I should NOT have had to buy a charger. Hopefully they will send one to me – and I will keep as a spare. We will see how this gets handled and I will let you know.The unit appears to be in pristine condition. Booted right up and I flew through the setup process. I was mistakenly under the impression that these took a USB “C” type plug… and was hoping to add some ports etc. No such luck. Just a very mini barrel plug for the adapter. Sigh. Not a deal breaker but will slow down some of the things I wanted to do.The display IS rather dim… readable and watchable, but dim. Works very well on my 55″ monitor/flatscreen T.V. however! Also notable is that these units automaticall load drivers for Logitech Unifying USB dongle and I instantly had access to my laptops keyboard and mouse — this is a huge plus!More of the setup and operation (as well as longevity) later! Ciao

I try to only write reviews for things that aren’t reviewed a bunch, this one fits that bill. I don’t have a ton to say about it because it works absolutely perfect for me and the others have said most of the things I have dealt with. I wanted a laptop for browsing the internet, using my phone has become tedious in that aspect. My 6 year old ASUS laptop has seen better days, with intermittent issues and the battery being toast so I need to keep it plugged in. I wanted something simple to replace it, inexpensively, with something simple to use. After reading the reviews here, I took the plunge and as others have said, mine showed up in new condition. I did pay attention to the seller, something I suggest everyone do for any product you buy online, and chose the one that had the highest rating.Something that does not yet stand out, Android Google Play is loadable on this Chromebook after you update the OS. Every app that I have tried has functioned well, although I imagine that not EVERY app will have that same compatibility. I’m looking into an app called Limbo, apparently it can run some windows programs but I have yet to use it. Frankly if that actually works, then I never have another need for a Windows or Linux computer ( I have preferred Linux.)Your needs may be very different than mine, I couldn’t be happier with mine.
