Piece of Garbage

Acer Chromebook Intel Celeron 847 2GB Memory 16GB SSD 11.6" Chrome OS C710-2833
Acer Chromebook Intel Celeron 847 2GB Memory 16GB SSD 11.6" Chrome OS C710-2833

Pros: Starts up quickly Great for Google Chrome lovers 3 USB Ports SD card reader Great battery life Shuts down quickly

Cons: 16GB memory Must be connected to the internet TO SIGN ON Can't choose computer password separate from Google account Must be online to watch videos, listen to music, see pictures Can't change many personal settings, including the minutes in the clock Google Docs Google Drive Google Chrome You can't install programs. Period. You're limited to Google "apps" Very few legitimate offline Google apps You can't use any other web browser. Ever. Basically, you get a box that runs Chrome web browser. That's IT. Doesn't play DVDs (even with an external DVD player)

Overall Review: This is a box that runs Chrome web browser. That's IT. If you are somehow enamored with the fact that Google has its own OS, try using ABSOLUTELY NOTHING on your computer but Chrome web browser for a week. That's what owning a Chromebook will be like. By the way, the Acer Chromebook does the same things as the Pixel Chromebook, with fewer fancy features, like no touchscreen, etc. I bought this because it was a cheap computer. It's not a cheap computer - IT'S A REALLY EXPENSIVE WEB BROWSER!!! If you're going to turn any browser into a computer, for goodness sakes', make it Firefox!!! Maybe in 5 years this will be better, but for now, NO WAY!!! Unless you have a lot of money and you want an interesting toy for your children. or dog. or fireplace.
