5.0 out of 5 starsLooks like an Acer C720 Chromebook

Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2015

Capacity: 11.6-inchColor: GrayVerified Purchase

Looks like an Acer C720 Chromebook, but looks are deceiving because this exceeds it in every way.Its faster, has better battery life, the screen looks brighter, the body looks better finished with a bit of brushed finish to it; it feels heftier and more solid, reinforcement in the hinges and in the lid, and even the keyboard feels better, adding a bit of a cushion at the end of the keypress.Everything about it is improved over the C720 which by itself is already an excellent Chromebook.In my opinion, this is probably among the best, if not the best, small Chromebook in the market.The thing is the C740 tends to be marketed for educatoinal and institutional channels rather than consumer retail like its sibling CB3 and CB5 does.One important thing is that every small Chromebook now either comes with an ARM processor or a Bay Trail Celeron processor, but this has the 5th generation Broadwell 3205U which annihilates them in performance (over 14,000 in Octane scores over 8,500 for the Bay Trails) and still gives a day’s use of battery life, better even than the C720’s Haswell Celeron 2955U.

5.0 out of 5 starsYES! worth the investment

Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2015

Capacity: 11.6-inchColor: GrayVerified Purchase

I’ve had this device for nearly a month now. Absolutely love it! The updated processor outperforms the C720 by enough to merit a purchase for this one instead. From my selected seller, This was an education unit. For those interested in either device, education vs consumer, the education model does not have any lack in performance.

Physically the device is quite solid, similarly to how a dell feels inside, but is contrasted to the plastic-y shell. My only grip with its appearance.

The track pad is a very smooth plastic that takes a little bit of time to get used too. I mention this for those familiar with the setting in windows known as "precision" or for older versions, "accelerated" mouse control. On the mac this would be a setting that cannot be changed, as far as i’ve known. It seems this is a chrome OS feature and not as a result of the track pad. As some may have read, the tap to click feature does require a bit more pressure than a standard setup. Such as a macbooks trackpad.

The screens colors are acceptable, and definitely usable. Viewing angles vertically however are quite varying. Horizontally theres a little bit more flexibility.

SSD from what i’ve read online is replace/upgradable. The ram is not. The screws are also NOT covered with warranty stickers. I think this is a education specific version of the c740

All in all i’m extremely excited to be using this device, and love the chrome os experience!

PS: be sure to understand what the Chrome OS has to offer. compared to Windows, Mac etc.

3.0 out of 5 starsDesign flaw—left hinge breaks going back to 2014 and Acer does not fix it!

Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2018

Capacity: 11.6-inchColor: GrayVerified Purchase

I like the Chromebook very much and am running my business on it.

I also liked my Acer C-740….both of them.

I bought my first one in April 2017. After 14 months the left hinge had broken and the monitor pulled away from the computer. I travel nearly full time and the computer travels with me. It is not as if it sits on a desk.

However, the replacement computer –again a C-740—I bought only 8 months ago and again it has a broken left hinge.

Looking online I see many, many people with the left hinge problem dating back to 2014 with this model.

So now I am going to purchase another Chromebook—but not from Acer. Clearly they have a design problem.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat for kids

Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2020

Capacity: 11.6-inchColor: GrayVerified Purchase

I bought 2 of these for my elementary school kids. Since schools were closed for the rest of the year due to covid-19 and it was a new requirement to do online learning, This is a good way for them to access google classroom. It’s very simple for the kids and not as many options like a regular laptop would have to adjust settings, and do things that a curious child may mess up on a computer. It’s pretty straightforward to use and in great condition.

I am on Zoom conferences multiple times per week for work.My 7 y/o acer Chromebook accessed Zoom and Skype, etc. just fine.When I tried to join my Zoom Conference for work this am i got an incompatible message saying it needed a Chrome version of at least 52.0.0.0.Now I need to return it.Big hassle.Why wasn’t this explained in the description?Since it is billed as the Newest Acer Chromebook I never expected it to be outdated!!

Also, not a fan of the keyboard.Haven’t done much else with it as I got it last night and found out this am that it doesn’t meet my needs so I need to return it.

5.0 out of 5 starsSeriously, I love this machine!!!

Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2015

Capacity: 11.6-inchColor: GrayVerified Purchase

Seriously, I love this machine!!!Fantastic performance especially given the low price (my primary reason for purchasing this particular Chromebook). Very thin, which makes it convenient to take pretty much everywhere. Battery life is awesome.Perfect size for what it’s used it for (browsing the web on the couch etc, watching videos from youtube or netflix, working on google spreadsheets etc).

I also can’t speak highly enough of ChromeOS.The joy of having a laptop that keeps itself updated, doesn’t get viruses/malware and is literally maintenance free (aside from occasionally having to plug into power to charge the aforementioned battery) keeps my life simple.I know that every time I open the screen on this guy, it will instantly boot up and be ready to go… No "windows is restarting for updates, 30% complete… check back in 10 minutes", no viruses, no slowness from 3rd party apps that have accumulated over the years needless consuming resources. Just open and go!

Pros:
*Excellent* performance, esp given low price
Great build quality
Dead silent
Loud speakers
Awesome battery life
Good low light sensitivity on the webcam
USB 3.0 flash drives support
SD card reader
HDMI out

Cons:
Power adapter connection seems like it could be fragile if someone tripped on the cord while plugged in
Wouldn’t mind if the screen was a little larger / better image quality (i’ve been spoiled by the Retina Display on a mac book pro).

5.0 out of 5 starsthis was the perfect device for me

Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2017

Capacity: 16GBVerified Purchase

I would swear I already wrote a review for this.Either Amazon is confused, or I am.But here goes...

I chose this model largely based on Consumer Reports rating and its price.

Essentially, this was the perfect device for me.I already have a high powered laptop, a good tablet, etc.What I needed was something that could act as a thin client through vmware (it can), and is otherwise mostly a browser.This fits that bill.Because it is inexpensive, it isn't a total tragedy if it is stolen or lost.Because it is secure, I don't have to worry about my data being exposed (except for the gmail account, and the one I use for access is not my primary gmail).When I am on a trip, this is the right machine for move photos from my camera (It has an SD slot) to my USB drives.It is also thin and light, and I am loving the ChromeOS touch pad.So far the battery life is very good, and they keyboard is spaced out enough to make typing relatively comfortable (In fact, I'm writing this review on it).

Obviously, this isn't a real computer.Games (other than browser ones, I guess.I don't play them) are pretty much off the table.You cannot load traditional applications, just browser apps and extensions.Video quality is fair, at best.For me, these are all pluses, since I don't have anyone wishing to borrow it. But I can see how it wouldn't fulfill the needs of many. YMMV.

My kido was so happy just to have his own and not have to share with his brothers anymore. And the price they gave for this chromebook was well worth it we are happy.

3.0 out of 5 starsGood, but some display issues

Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2015

Capacity: 16GBVerified Purchase

I just got my this C740 last week and have been playing around with it most of the weekend.This is the 2 GB RAM/16 GB SSD version of the C740.I have been very happy with it - I like the speed, battery life, and Chrome OS in general.However, there are two graphics/display related issues I have noticed and I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing this.

The most significant issue I've had is that occasionally the display image gets jumbled up.It's like the screen is cut up into blocks and scrambled like a jigsaw puzzle.It could happen anywhere in the system, even at the login screen, so I'm thinking it's possibly driver or hardware related.It's usually just a flicker, but the image has actually stabilized in a broken state.It generally seems to fix itself pretty quick, may even miss it if you blink, but there was one time that I had to reboot (power off/on) before it resolved.This issue seems most likely to happen when I am in Chrome RDP, but I can't tell if it is specific to that app since it happens all over the system, even when the app is closed.

The other issue I have seems to be specific to a website that uses an HTML5 canvas to display a remote desktop.The issue happens within the canvas where icons will get random white blocks around them.White blocks may also appear within the canvas, sometimes without me touching anything.I have not had this issue in any other browsers, including my wife's C720.

So I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced issues like this on the C740, in any other chromebooks, or specifically with the Chrome RDP app.I really like this Chromebook, but am considering returning for exchange based on these issues.My wife's C720 does not seem to have these issues.

Painfully slow. You are able to use Google play store but most apps won't work at all or are so buggy. Was hoping this would have been a good purchase but I am considering returning it. System shuts down randomly. Can't even use Facebook without the chromebook pooping out. Two stars because it does start up really fast and that's really only a good thing bc it shuts down every 20 minutes
