Okay, so I was looking for a cheap laptop that has good battery life in which I could run Linux. So, I was eyeing on this one. But when I compared the price of this to the other countries, then I was freaked out.

The Chromebook costs $199 in the USA which is about Rs. 12,500. With custom duties it should be abou Rs. 15000 which is a good price. But why the hell are they selling it for Rs. 8000 more above that? They do the shipping in bulk so shipping costs are almost equal to nil.

Even Mot...

First up - it is a bit unfair to not only the buyer but also to Google/Acer to market this as a "laptop". It is not a laptop - it was never meant to be.

This device is meant for those who spend most of the time working on the Internet and can use Google Docs as a tool rather than traditional Office suites. First the good stuff -

1. It is super light-weight
2. It boots up very quickly thanks to its SSD Hard Drive
3. Google gives you 100GB of Cloud storage
4. The keyboard is very responsi...

The decision to buy Chromebook was not easy one to make, very few people had even heard of the product let alone owned or used one. So a lot of research was based on internet reviews online and youtube videos. 2 weeks back, after a lot of head scratching, decided to go ahead with Acer C720 Chromebook. Thanks to Flipkart the product was delivered in 2 days and was very well packed. The packing box had a lot of air packets inside to keep the product safe, very impressive.

Coming to Acer C720 ...

Soon people will realize they don't need all that microsoft crap.
Chromebooks are simple and perfect. All chromebook need is a good mid point of great price and great hardware.
???I cannot remember the last time I used a notebook while Internet was NOT available. Must be years ago. Internet is everywhere.
The problem is Microsoft still thinks it's the 90's. CD and DVD are two mediums that should be permitted to finally die the death they so well deserve. There is rarely any place you can go...

Not worth the asking Price, when compared to what they are selling it for in the USA.

Everything seems good on this laptop, but it is when you pay 200-250$ for this. As soon as the price jumps to the 350$+ range, there are other better alternatives.

You could instead buy another FreeDOS laptop and install an SSD in it (costs around 3.5k for 64GB) and you'll have the performance far better than this one while being in the same price bracket.

i am using it from 2 months and guys criusly nw no neeed of windows bullshit...no slag in speed its super fast and jst make your work like a game...

First and foremost this is not direct replacement of your regular PC. You cannot run traditional Windows/Linux application in it. It runs Google created ChromeOS, which means its just a browser. Yes browser, Thats it!
Which also means, whatever you can do in your current Chrome browser it can do that, plus some more. Please read chromebook features on google site before bashing that its not actual PC.

Now to the actual laptop:
Its very, very, very lightweight. Battery life is awesome. In sin...

Lots of value for the price, but don't let it fool you. Price is only one parameter. Be sure why you're getting this. This is not a replacement for a traditional personal computer. Nonetheless, if you can manage your total computing needs on the internet - which is not impossible - this is a great option!
Not to forget, the Chromebook has brilliant battery life, great display and genuinely good build quality for the price!

It can be used as a secondary laptop, if your purpose is only for browsing while travel. one start less due to its price. Could have been priced around 15k.

Good product & value for money . Does net based work in a jiffy though cant replace a full fledged laptop but does most of the work.
