Chromebooks have been a Windows alternative for a while and dependant on the tasks you want to carry out can be all you need. Certainly you would not get a Windows touch panel unit for anywhere near the price of this Chromebook offering.

My Grandson loves it!He uses it for his homework.

I bought this as an upgrade from my old Acer CBE-132 Chromebook and I am very impressed with it. There's double the RAM and storage as my old one, the build quality is very good, the screen has good colours and contrast and seems a bit sharper.

Had this for a month. Acer chrome the best. Easy to load, use and understand. Highly recommended. Make sure tho the Google updates are for at least 4 years remaining.
