Acer ChromeBook CB3-431-C5FM User Reviews and Ratings

Works very well. It comes highly recommended from several tech sites and I can see why.

So far great. I ll know more when I'll use it longer

Now my other grandkids want one.

Not to sound cliche but I rarely write reviews...Having said that, this thing is great! I received this Chromebook today and have operated it for at least 8 hours straight and it is not even warm to the touch! It has no internal fan because it will never overheat! That is one less thing you will have to replace a few years down the line. It is very fast, quiet and efficient. I can honestly say that I may never purchase another Windows laptop. No viruses or spyware, instant bootup, no upgrades...Just sheer performance. Having worked in the IT field for 15 years, I think I know a little bit about laptop quality. 8 hours in and I STILL can't put this thing down! Do yourself a favor and buy this thing. You won't regret it!

Just received it, so far I am totally impressed with this device. I am a longtime windows user, hardcore mac lover and am quickly finding out that Chromebooks are great because it is always one, just as fast as my mac/windows, virus free (for now), long battery life and super easy to use. Acer puts together a great package, it was boxed perfectly, the aluminum case feels sturdy and well made and the display is bright and vivid.The only con I can think of is the keyboard could have more of a tactile feel. However, this is a small one.For the future, waiting to see what android apps will look like and I wish the touchpad had more options i.e. wrist guarding when typing and pinch/zoom control.Overall, well made and well implmented - for a quick economical performing machine for someone in my family who just uses the web, this rocks!

The battery is very good and it lasts for 10+ hours. The body is made of metal and is very beautiful. Recommend to buy.

Pretty great. I installed linux on it via crouton which gave it all i needed. I can use chromeOS for web browsing and online school and linux for everything else. It's fast, pretty, a great size, and does everything I need.

Awesome ChromeBook

For the price it is a very good laptop that adds a lot of productivity to your life, some might not come to like the operating system, but chromeOS is constantly improving and I have good hope for it. The computer is solid, it has good battery life. One little thing I like is that it goes down to 0 brightness, not a lot of laptops do that. Overall a good purchase.

Excellent notebook with Chromebase on it.

I'm extremely happy with my new Acer - it's everything as advertised - great speed, wonderful screen, and ease of use.

I am writing this review on my new Chromebook right now! I love how this Chromebook looks and handles tabs! It is also super light to carry, and the keyboard is really comfortable to type on. I was researching so many different Chromebooks, and I am glad I purchased this one!

I didn't really need a 2nd laptop. I bought this Chromebook more out of curiosity than any urgent need.I wanted to see how different it was from my Win7 laptop. Great decision!Can't beat the price for the features.Fast startup compared to any Windows machine I've ever used.Long battery life - I've had it on for as much as 9hrsVery lightweight. I take this everywhere because it just doesn't seem to weigh anything. This is similar to a MacBook Air in weight.The learning curve for this Chromebook is very shallow. I had a friend that visited and who knows nothing about computers and is a MacBook user.The friend needed a computer for an emergency. She just opened up this Chromebook and went to work for a few hours and never asked for any help. To me this was strong validation that the Chromebook concept is great for most computer needs.I also watch a ton of online TV shows. The sites I use for TV shows from all over the world unfortunately have lots of popup ads and try often to hijack my browsers so virus protections must be up to date and VPNs turned on when I use a Windows computer. This chromebook is so much more secure- it has become my primary media device. I simply added the extensions - Ad Blocker Pro and Tunnelbear VPN and I'm safe. So is my home network!!I love that friends and family who have gmail accounts can use my chromebook as if it were their own but never have access to my info.All-in-all this Chromebook is a perfect 2nd computer and on it's own can do 90% of everything you want a computer to do...and 100% of what I spend most of my time doing with a computer- web surfing, media watching, emailing, and social media. When I bought this Acer 14 Google provided 2-yrs of complimentary 100GB online storage for Google's Drive

It was bought for my daughter. She loves it. I got her a 32 gig memory stick to plug in it. Now instead of always being on her telephone she's on her Chromebook and watches movies, television shows and does all the other things she enjoys on it. Good buy for a good price

love this product. becoming a chromebook fan vs windows. perfect for what I do (write and create curriculum)has 32 gig local memory which is very useful

nice

Very easy to use, and without stress. great chrome OS.

This is my 7th Chromebook - - I was an original tester of the CR-48 in Dec 2010 - - and so far my favorite of those I've owned. Great screen, good keyboard, zippy enough with 4gb ram. I highly recommend it.

It's really good

Primo punto come sempre positivo per quanto concerne la spedizione amazon.Il chromebook � importato US quindi vi ritroverete con il layout della keybord US non retroilluminata (al primo avvio potete impostare il layout ITA ed poi applicare degli adesivi ai tasti per poter cos� utilizzare la tastiera come fosse italiana, io sconsiglio tutto sto trambusto si riesce ad utilizzare tranquillamente il layout US) passiamo al trackpad ampio, sensibile, presciso restituisce un feeling ottimale merito anche di chrome OS. Il monitor essendo un FHD impressiona per risoluzione/definizione e luminosit� per me adeguata in tutte le condizioni (anche in esterno). Materiali premium unibody d'alluminio finitura opaca il tutto veramente bello ed elegante. Unico neo le casse, essendo posizionate sotto producono un suono un p� ovattato e non tropppo potente.Mi dilungo un secondo su chrome OS; prima cosa importante da sapere che � un OS cloud based semplificando un grande browser tuttte le app sono sviluppate su questo concetto rendendo poco pratico l'utilizzo off line, non dico impossibile perche sarebbe fuorviante ma se pensate di utilizzare il chromebook come un normale notebook siete in errore. Il sistema � veloce e reattivo il processore Intel Celeron Quad-Core N3160 riesce a portare a termine rendering delle pagine web e piccole elaborazioni decentemente, ma da una cpu a basso consumo � sbagliato pensare di ottenere di pi�.Guardando al futuro con la possibilit� di poter installare il google play le potenzialit� di questo chrome book sicuramente si amplieranno a dismisura!Per il mio utilizo direi un ottimo acquisto!

Love it! Just getting used to using Chrome OS vs. WIndows

I have an older much less expensive ACER Chromebook and use it several hours a day. However, the it hangs when I load it down with a many open Chrome tabs, apps, extensions, etc. So, I bit the bullet and upgraded to the Chromebook 14. I really like it. I miss the SD card slot and actually I prefer the keyboard on my old model, but the Chromebook 14 is faster, has not hung once, and the display is much nicer (clearer, larger). I played Amazon Videos, worked great. Games, great. MS Word Online and Google Docs, great.The aluminum chassis is nice, not quite as cool as my wife's Macbook Air, but it is 4x the cost. The hinged cover is not as cool as the chassis, and I would prefer not to have the ACER insignia protruding from the top cover. But, hey...I think $300 is too much to spend on a Chromebook, but I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Functions great and came fast. Product is as shown in the pictures.

Completely satisfied with this chromebook. The screen is bright and the resolution is quite satisfactory for 14 inch screen. Speakers, touchpad and keyboard are also fine.

My son loves this chromebook and does most of his work with it. Beautiful aluminum case. Very nice screen. Long battery life. A big step up from his prior, very old, Samsung chromebook.

This thing is great! I bought this for my wife to use as her main computer since she spends most of her computer time online. It is light and fast, and just the right size. Plus, the battery life if awesome. We are getting 9+ hours of use out of it! If I didn't need to install external software for work and school, I would buy myself one in a second.

A tremendous value for the price. Outstanding screen, fast graphics, good battery life. I would absolutely buy again.

Bought this for my kid to use in his high school courses. He uses it daily, and loves it.

Reliable product and my son loves it. It boots and shuts down in seconds. No issues so far.

This Chromebook looks, feels and performs like an $800 computer. The battery is spectacular, the trackpad and keyboard is spectacular. The price is stunning. I can't say enough about it. I came from the Chromebook 11 and the added screen size of this 14 makes this device a respectable and legitimate 'daily driver'.
