3.0 out of 5 starsToo expensive

Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2019

C720 is a good model, but not for its Celeron version, I tried to install Windows 10 on it, but I found it did not support sleeping

I want to tell college students:
1. Never buy a Atom/Celeron/Pentium/Athlon/ARM laptop, they look cheap now, but they only worth 1/10 of its price after one year; For Core/Xeon/Ryzen, they worth 1/2 after four years
2. Never buy a Chromebook, they are difficult to repair, and they do not support bios flash (or you can hack with mrchromebox), they support rare software from chromebrew, if you really understand computer science, you will find crouton is just a toy, they hold outdated hardware from mobile phone, but you can pay the same price to buy a used laptop with a real solid state hard drive from your classmate
3. Never buy a laptop with Optimus, they are very difficult to use under Linux and Hackintosh, fortunately, no a single Chromebook support Optimus

Wonderful

Efficient energy saver
Good audio and visual quality
For me it is way better than a regular laptop
Give you the opportunity to reset it to factory default if you are blasted by some bad malware. One had changed my screen, I then reset my Chromebook in less than 2 minutes, it was like new, like I had never got INFECTED.

It is as fast as an Iphone!
Amazing

There are so many adds and apps one can use. Awesome.

Cons;
Not enough memory space provided for offline files, however, one can use google drive. I don't like using google drive for everything. One can also use flash drive.

As a student, this chromebook has been invaluable in keeping me organized and on top of my classes. The seamless transition between unit and the cloud is extremely useful in maintaining notes and assignments across multiple devices. Hardware-wise the unit is pretty sturdy, I haven't thrown it around too much, but it's handled it's fair share of overstuffed backpacks. The construction does feel a bit plasticky, and I would prefer something with a bit of a more metallic feel, but for the price this unit delivers decent speed, excellent battery life (I've left it on sleep mode for days and woken it up to find a >50% charge) and handy cohesion with Google apps; I'm willing to overlook whatever cosmetic issues I might have. All-in-all, a highly recommended buy for students or anyone one on the move with a budget.

4.0 out of 5 starsLike it because

Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2016

Verified Purchase

Like it because: Amazing product. I have had it for almost 4 months now and it is great. I have 18 pages open right now and still flying at the speed of light on each page switching back and forth. This product is very under rated. Keyboard is bigger than most small computers which is nice for people with fat finger disorder, such as myself.

Main Problems with it: You can't use Microsoft programs but you can use google docs/slides/sheets. They work fine except for when you use sheets, you get into data analysis and sheets with a lot of data (over a hundred rows per page, multiple pages, and numerous formulas used). Also, saving as a word doc or PowerPoint will most definitely mess with the formatting but if that isn't a problem for you, then I highly recommend this product. I got around it by fixing up an old PC desktop which I use for excel and formatting word documents before submitting them for school (senior in college).

All in all if you can get over not using Microsoft programs this is the perfect choice.

Side notes: You can use caps lock (alt+search key)
I did have an ASUS 2 in one flip and I liked it for a bit but then it started to slow down and crash periodically. My thoughts are that for a computer with such a small processor and memory, things like touch screen and Microsoft slow them down too much (just an opinion).

The first thing I did was remove ChromeOS and install GalliumOS. It's a distribution of Linux that is made specifically for Chromebooks. It's fast, utilizes system resources well, and allows you to do things every other modern computer can do.

I use my chromebook for homework, programming, I used it in my Linux course for labs (didn't have to use school craptops!) and for Skype and movies and.

For the low price I paid, I am very satisfied with my order. The only thing I could ask for is better battery life..

5.0 out of 5 starsBest Bang For Your Buck

Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2014

Verified Purchase

I originally bought this chromebook as a secondary device that was lightweight and easy to take back and forth to school.It fulfills that extremely well, and also has surprised me in some aspects that make this device much more impressive. Anyone concerned about productivity on this device has some valid concerns, but I'll explain how to alleviate almost everything. I'll also try to compare this as much as possible to the Acer c720, since some people seemed to be torn between both of them as they both have similar specs and price points.

Pros:
-Lightweight
-Low Powered, Fast CPU
-Long Battery Life
-Solid State Hard Drive
-Great Build Quality
-Good App selection
-Versatility and Portability

Cons:
-No traditional computer programs available
-Not a traditional OS
-Only wireless printing available
-Will not be able to play 3D games, such as minecraft (even on Ubuntu)

Here's a dissected review on points I think are important.

BUILD QUALITY
The build quality is very good for a cheap computer.The laptop feels very well put together.The keyboard has a good "snap" to it and has really good resistance, doesn't feel cheap at all.The trackpad is nice and big, and doesn't interfere at all while typing.It isn't nearly as good as the touchpad on a Macbook for instance, but it certainly doesn't disappoint.The white color definitely adds a sense of style that the Acer c720 doesn't have.It's also thinner than the c720 and weighs less.It's a very sturdy, well put together device.

BATTERY LIFE
The battery life on this chromebook is probably the best you're going to get.It uses a 2.16 GHZ "bay trail" celeron processor with the atom architecture, which was actually initially designed for use in mobile devices such as cell phones. In my opinion, the coolest thing about this processor is it doesn't get too hot.This chromebook doesn't even need to use a fan because the processor simply doesn't get hot no matter how hard you push it.The lack of a fan and the power needed to run the processor is less than the Acer c720, meaning the battery life will be higher.While using it, I get about 10-12 hours of battery life while browsing or word processing. If I'm watching videos or playing a game, or doing more media intensive things, I'll get around 8-10 hours. Fantastic experience, my Macbook Pro can't compete against that.

DISPLAY
Let's be honest, this display is not very good.However, for a cheap screen I think it's decent.The viewing angles are poor and it's not always easy to see the entire screen. When watching a dark movie or TV show it's overly apparent how hard it is to get the screen angle just right.This isn't really a deal-breaker for me because at less than $200 I wasn't really concerned about the screen quality.It has an HDMI output though and a pretty good graphics processor, it will display things in HD quality when connected to a television or computer monitor and play videos and other media extremely well. The c720 has a similar display.

PROCESSING POWER
The processing power is very good for the price point.As stated earlier, it uses a 2.16 Ghz "bay-trail" celeron processor, which is plenty of power to do everything you can with chrome OS.However, the specs on the CPU are somewhat confusing.In simple terms, the Acer c720 has a clock speed of 1.4 Ghz, but it uses a "haswell" celeron processor.This processor was originally made for desktop computers while the bay-trail processor was originally made for mobile devices.The haswell processor in the Acer c720 is faster than the bay-trail processor in the Acer CB3-111.You will be able to notice this when loading large, graphically intensive files or webpages.I also notice it when typing into the address bar in the web browser, the processor simply can't keep up with the keystrokes.The processor in the c720 comes at a price though, it needs a fan to cool it because it can get hot, which adds a little more weight and size to the device and it uses more power to operate the fan.

This may be a deal breaker to some people, but I'm impressed with the smaller size and a little extra battery life the CB3-111 provides over the raw processing power of the c720.The CB3-111 is still a very fast chromebook, it just isn't as fast in some scenarios as the c720.

However, the graphics processor in the CB3-111 is pretty impressive.It plays videos on YouTube and Netflix flawlessly.No hiccups, no long load times, very fast and efficient experience.

SOUND
Decent.Speakers sound crisp and clean, but are relatively quiet. If sound is important to you, look into purchasing a good bluetooth speaker.It's a worthwhile investment.

OPERATING SYSTEM
All chromebooks use chrome OS, a modified version of linux built by google.It's so simple anyone can use it, and that's probably its greatest strength.

If anyone wants to know what chrome OS is, download chrome browser and try to use your computer only using that browser.You can go to the web-store and add any app you want and run it.This is exactly what chrome OS is, an operating system built to run the chrome browser only, with a simple file manager to manage downloadable files until you upload is to Google drive or another cloud service.It isn't made to hold a large amount of files and programs on the hard drive, which is actually a very good thing if you want to keep the computer fast.There is nothing you have to do to keep the computer optimized, it will always be optimized from the moment you receive it.

Only gripe I have with chrome OS is it doesn't do everything I need it to do.For example, although google docs is good enough to work in class for taking notes, it simply can't do everything Microsoft Word can. Additionally, even if you save a Google Doc file in a Microsoft word format, it won't always come out looking the same.It's the exact same problem when opening a Microsoft Word file in the Google Doc format.It's a little confusing on how to get some things working, and some things you think should be a relatively simple addition aren't included (like adding columns, despite there being a work around to get columns).Also sometimes I need to use a better word processor so when a teacher uploads my paper after I submit it, it'll look the exact same on their computer as it does in mine.I feel like this is very important for research papers, or projects that have to look the exact same no matter where you open it.Google docs isn't quite there yet, but is certainly good enough for about 90% of my processing needs.Despite this not being good enough for me, it is probably good enough for most people.

ADVANCED STUFF
If you want something more out of your chromebook and are concerned about it just not being enough, you're in luck. This in my opinion simply makes it the best computer you can buy.

This is an intel based chromebook, so Ubuntu or another linux operating system of your choice runs extremely well on it and has full app compatibility.It's faster than chrome OS in most tasks, and has a much more traditional OS layout that matches a more Windows or OSX interface.However, using linux is not that intuitive to use.You'd have to be prepared to learn a whole new operating system, which takes some getting used to because of its use of the command line.It's very useful to be able to switch between environments very quickly to accomplish tasks I can't necessarily accomplish with chrome OS. It's also nice being able to use a wired printer.

If you're a tech savvy individual, it might be worth it to you to give a Linux platform a shot.Libreoffice is a free, full office productivity suite that's extremely similar to Microsoft Office and is updated constantly.GIMP is an image editor that is considered a free, full alternative to Photoshop. Just plug in external storage to the USB drive and you're good to go, edit photos and documents to your hearts content.There are tools available that can run both OS's simultaneously, so you can switch back and forth whenever you want just by pushing a few keys.

CONCLUSION
This is an extremely good device for under $200.It has a lot of versatility and portability that make it a good buy in any scenario you're going to use it in.I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

If you're on the fence between the CB3-111 and c720, it boils down to two things, battery life and performance:
If performance is more important for you, pick the c720.
If battery life is more important to you, pick the CB3-111.

In my opinion, you'd be very happy with either purchase.

I rarely write review for products, but I finally felt compelled to write a review for this little laptop.

I purchased this laptop back when it was new.I was a community college student, and wanted something cheap and light, that I could easily put in my backpack and take on public transportation daily.This laptop was (and is) perfect for that. I used it everyday for school, and it served it's purpose well.

After I left my community college, I lived abroad in South Korea for about 6 months. And I took this laptop with me. Then I came back to America and finished my college career out at a public university.I used this there, too.Then when I graduated college I went to Mexicofora few months to get an additional credential, and also to travel and have some fun. I brought this laptop too. It was the perfect size to fit in my small backpack while I stayed in hostels, air bnbs ,and friend's couches.

Now I'm a teacher, and i use this laptop every single day in the classroom. I hook the TV up to it to show youtube videos, I grade papers on it, take notes on it, I do all my lesson planning on it, and I write emails to my friend in Korea and Mexico on it....basically, I do everything you'd need to do as a teacher and as a person on it.

I have dropped this thing more than than I can count, spilled stuff on it, gotten dry erase marker all over it, sat on it, sent it through airport scanners and customs and who knows what else.

I'm not sure how much longer this thing will last, but it shows no issues of age. It isn't slow, never acts erratically, and still has a shocking amount of battery life for a laptop that is so old. I can still use it for abotu 3-4 hours without having to plug it in--and for a laptop that has seen daily use for 4 years, that's nothing to sneeze at.

Hands down the most durable and reliable laptop I have ever had.I am an acer customer for life because of this lil guy. Make your own choices, but if you want a relaiable cheap laptop that will last for years, you can't go wrong with this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars日本で正規版を発売して欲しい一品

Reviewed in Japan on December 8, 2014

Verified Purchase

Chromebook全体のことについては、日本発売のChromebook等をよくご覧ください。
そのうえで、わざわざ日本未発売のこちらを気にされる方へ書かせていただきます。

あまりにも国内の情報が少ないこちらの機種ですが、日本発売のACER C720よりも後に発売された機種です。

購入してからざっと触ってみましたが、結論から言いますと良い買い物をしました。
以下、簡単に列挙します。

〈GOOD〉
・軽い！　1.1キロです。現時点で国内発売されているChromebookに比べて150グラム以上の差です。たかが150グラムですが、ビジネス用途として考えた場合、持ち運ぶ際の労力はかなり異なります。いつものカバンに5インチ以上のスマホを突っ込んでみてください。それだけ違います。毎日の通勤となると、この微妙な差がボディーブローのように効いてきます。

・薄い！　MacやVAIOの感動的な作りに比べたらチープですが、しっかり薄いし頑張っています。真っ白なボディは触るとスベスベしており、当然ながら指紋もつきません。

・速い！　Chromebookならコレは求めたいですね。きっちり理解して用いれば、それはそれは快適な早さです。会社でCore i5のノートを支給されて使っておりますが、ことブラウザの動作についてはChromebookの圧勝です。動画もHD画質のものを平然と流すことができます。それどころか、その横でブラウジングをしても問題ありません。

・悪くないキーボード　キーボードは好みに個人差が出るところなのですが、私は嫌いではありません。ノートパソコンっぽいストロークと打鍵感覚です。音は静かな部類です。

・静か　動作音は静かです。ファンががなり立てる状況にはなったことがありません。ファンあるのかな？（笑）

〈BAD〉
・汚れやすい！　白いボディなので汚れやすいです。黒いスマホでこすってしまったら黒い線が残りました。でも消しゴムで消えます（笑）

・アダプターがそのままでは刺さらない！　これは輸入品の宿命です。とはいえ500円程度のプラグをamazonでポチっとするだけです。このあたりは、同様に輸入されて使っている方のブログ等をご覧いただくとわかりやすいかと。

・液晶はC720と大差なし　……というか同一じゃないか？と思います。視野角は広くないし、色再現性も低いです。いわゆる値段なり液晶なので、そこが我慢できない方はHP製をお買い求めください。私は映り込みが嫌いなので、こちらのほうが好きですが。

・キーボードには慣れが必要　これはChromebook全体の話ですが、たとえばアットマークだとかアンダーバーを打とうとすると、最初は難儀します。私はUSキーボード設定で使っているため、ファンクションキーもショートカットの組み合わせが必要です。とはいえ、これはすぐ慣れる気がしています。

・C720等に比べると高い！　ASUSも日本の個人向け販売を発表しましたが、それらに比べるとちょっと割高です。とはいえ、私はどうしても軽さと早さを両立させたかったので後悔はありません。HPやSAMSONのモデルならさらに軽いのですが、CPUの能力差はいかんともしがたいです。実際にSAMSONのモデルは触ったことがあるのですが、すべての動作が本機種より2テンポ程度もたつきます。

以上です。

※ 私が購入時に調べてもなかなか見られず難儀したので、キーボードレイアウトを添付しておきますね

開封後、電源を投入しても動かず、一瞬あせりましたが、多分、日本の製品の様に初期充電していないのでしょう。ACアダプタを接続したら起動しました。起動後にWiFiのパスワードを聞かれ、ロケーションと使用言語を選択すると、それで主な設定は終了のようです。日頃から chrome を使っているので、ブラウザを立ち上げて google アカウントにログインするだけて、いつもの操作環境が手に入りました。ただ、Skype を使いたかったので、ネットでググって、記載通りに２つの機能拡張を入れましたが、それでも３０分もかからなかったと思います。最近は、ネットでの検索、Skype 程度しかノートパソコンを利用していなかったので、これで十分です。以前のvista ノートに比べれば、断然早い。文章作成も、まずはテキストで書き、必要があればオフィスなりにコピペして編集するのがいつものスタイルなので、かなり使用頻度が増えそうです。もし、直接プリンタに印刷したくなったら、またググってｕｂｕｎｔｕを入れてみようかと思います。

英字キーボードが欲しくてこちらを購入。キーボードにはローマ字のみ印字されていますが、勿論日本語入力も出来ます。初期設定で日本語を選んでおけばシフトキー＋スペースで日本語に切り替わり。キーボードはカチカチと小気味良い打心地ですが、少し小さいのでタイプミスが起こりやすくなるかもしれません。自分はChromebookで長文を打つことがないので問題はありませんが。

人によっては気になるのが2Gというメモリ。メール、ブラウザ、YouTube、各種動画サービス視聴くらいなら全く問題ないですが、画像編集などをガリガリやりたい人は少し物足りなさを感じるかも知れません。現在Acerの11.6インチで英字キーボードを搭載したモデルはこの２Gのものしかないので、ここを気にする方は日本語キーボードのCB3-111-H14モデルを選択することになります。

11.6インチモデルの約1.1kgという重量は魅力です。13.3だと1.3kg程度になるのですが、サイズも相まってややずっしりと感じます。

画面がいただけないという意見がありますが、期待せずに見れば普通に綺麗です。質は初期型iPadくらいでしょうか。最新タブレットやノートPCの液晶をこの値段で求めるのは無理があります。HDMIポートにさせば自動でディスプレイに繋がるので動画などはそれで見てます。ファンレスで動作音がしないのがいい。連続使用でも熱はほんのりぬくい程度です。ディスプレイ接続はミラーリングモード（ドッキングモードという名前がついてますが）とマルチディスプレイモードが選べます。Chromebookはフタを閉じるとスリープモードへ自動で移行しますが、HDMIでつないでいるときは閉じてもスリープにはなりません。

バッテリーはカタログスペック8.5時間ですが、使い方によりますがおそらく8時間が限度。ネット視聴をしていても7時間程度は持つと思います。充電速度は速い。フル充電まで1.5時間程度。急な外出でバッテリーがない、という時でも10分も充電すれば1時間程度は使えるようになると思います。

弱点といわれる「ネットがないと何も出来ない」という意見ですが、Google DriveやGoogle Docsなど普通に使えます。ネットに繋がるまでは更新されませんが。ただこの点は他のPCでも全く同じ。ネット環境がないと出来ることが制限されるというのはChromebookに限った話ではありません。さらに今日のご時世ネット環境がないところでPCを使う機会もそうないと思いますのであまり気にすることはないかと。あと普通のプリンターは使えませんが（印刷にはネットプリンターが必要です）、コンビニのネットサービスで印刷することは可能です。

これはこのモデルに限ったことではありませんが、Chromebookですごく便利なのが検索キー。普通のキーボードで言えばCapｓLockキーの位置にあります。何かを検索したいときはいちいちカーソルを検索バーに持っていくことなく検索できます。検索キーから「OKグーグル」の音声認識を使えば検索が捗ります。音声認識の精度は抜群で、複数のキーワードを言っても意図しない結果が出ることはほぼないです。

起動・シャットダウンは爆速。フタを閉じた状態から開くと自動的に起動（フタを開いたまま落とした時はキーボード右上の電源キーを押して起動）、約5秒程でログイン画面に。シャットダウンは約4秒。あまりの速さに毎回ニヤリとしてしまいます。たまにアップデートされている見たいですが（更新があるときは画面右下に再起動して更新して下さいという控えめなお知らせが出ます）、知らない内に終わってます。

つらつら書きましたが、用途を選べば最高のPCです。気になるときにサッと使えるという点が最大の魅力。毎日使い倒してます。Windows機の出番は減りました。満足です。

最後に、このモデルについては日本でのサポートが受けられないようです。その点だけご注意下さい。

3.0 out of 5 starsToo expensive

Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2019

Verified Purchase

C720 is a good model, but not for its Celeron version, I tried to install Windows 10 on it, but I found it did not support sleeping

I want to tell college students:
1. Never buy a Atom/Celeron/Pentium/Athlon/ARM laptop, they look cheap now, but they only worth 1/10 of its price after one year; For Core/Xeon/Ryzen, they worth 1/2 after four years
2. Never buy a Chromebook, they are difficult to repair, and they do not support bios flash (or you can hack with mrchromebox), they support rare software from chromebrew, if you really understand computer science, you will find crouton is just a toy, they hold outdated hardware from mobile phone, but you can pay the same price to buy a used laptop with a real solid state hard drive from your classmate
3. Never buy a laptop with Optimus, they are very difficult to use under Linux and Hackintosh, fortunately, no a single Chromebook support Optimus

Wonderful
Fast
Efficient energy saver
Good audio and visual quality
For me it is way better than a regular laptop
Give you the opportunity to reset it to factory default if you are blasted by some bad malware. One had changed my screen, I then reset my Chromebook in less than 2 minutes, it was like new, like I had never got INFECTED.

It is as fast as an Iphone!
Amazing

There are so many adds and apps one can use. Awesome.

Cons;
Not enough memory space provided for offline files, however, one can use google drive. I don't like using google drive for everything. One can also use flash drive.

4.0 out of 5 starsExcellent for the Price

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2016

Verified Purchase

As a student, this chromebook has been invaluable in keeping me organized and on top of my classes. The seamless transition between unit and the cloud is extremely useful in maintaining notes and assignments across multiple devices. Hardware-wise the unit is pretty sturdy, I haven't thrown it around too much, but it's handled it's fair share of overstuffed backpacks. The construction does feel a bit plasticky, and I would prefer something with a bit of a more metallic feel, but for the price this unit delivers decent speed, excellent battery life (I've left it on sleep mode for days and woken it up to find a >50% charge) and handy cohesion with Google apps; I'm willing to overlook whatever cosmetic issues I might have. All-in-all, a highly recommended buy for students or anyone one on the move with a budget.

4.0 out of 5 starsLike it because

Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2016

Verified Purchase

Like it because: Amazing product. I have had it for almost 4 months now and it is great. I have 18 pages open right now and still flying at the speed of light on each page switching back and forth. This product is very under rated. Keyboard is bigger than most small computers which is nice for people with fat finger disorder, such as myself.

Main Problems with it: You can't use Microsoft programs but you can use google docs/slides/sheets. They work fine except for when you use sheets, you get into data analysis and sheets with a lot of data (over a hundred rows per page, multiple pages, and numerous formulas used). Also, saving as a word doc or PowerPoint will most definitely mess with the formatting but if that isn't a problem for you, then I highly recommend this product. I got around it by fixing up an old PC desktop which I use for excel and formatting word documents before submitting them for school (senior in college).

All in all if you can get over not using Microsoft programs this is the perfect choice.

Side notes: You can use caps lock (alt+search key)
I did have an ASUS 2 in one flip and I liked it for a bit but then it started to slow down and crash periodically. My thoughts are that for a computer with such a small processor and memory, things like touch screen and Microsoft slow them down too much (just an opinion).

5.0 out of 5 starsPerfect for college students!... if you install linux.

Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2016

Verified Purchase

The first thing I did was remove ChromeOS and install GalliumOS. It's a distribution of Linux that is made specifically for Chromebooks. It's fast, utilizes system resources well, and allows you to do things every other modern computer can do.

I use my chromebook for homework, programming, I used it in my Linux course for labs (didn't have to use school craptops!) and for Skype and movies and.

For the low price I paid, I am very satisfied with my order. The only thing I could ask for is better battery life..

I have Acer c720 since 2014, and the condition is excellent. I expected the same condition when I purchased this for my kids. I ordered two and both of them, the condition was horrible, missing parts and lots of scratches and peel off. They looked like not wiped once after the previous users. I returned immediately.

Yes I know I was getting refurbished equipment. But if you ask me all they did was put it in a box and ship it. The item I got is surplus from a school district. It still has the labels on it the Cromebooks were not even cleaned. I ordered this because now I’m homeschooling my kids. Money is tight with one income now.
I was not looking for new but was hoping for more than fell off the back of a truck

I purchased this Chromebook for my husband.He wanted something basic where he could check his email or Facebook and didn't care if he had word processing capabilities.He was used to using a Dell laptop with a touchscreen so it took him a little while to get used to no touchscreen on the Chromebook.Other than that, he is really enjoying having access to his own computer and likes the compact size.It's a great little laptop for the price!
