  • Great upgraded chromebook
Capacity: 16GB|256GB SSD
Had an older Acer chromebook, upgraded to this one and couldn't be happier. The keyboard backlight, screen, and system performance are exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to minimize changes when upgrading my chromebook, and this is the same in every way I liked, and better in every other way. Great product! ... show more

  • Wonderfully fast and powerfull
Capacity: 16GB|256GB SSD
I keep too many tabs (20+) open, but it doesn't slow this laptop down. I'm not a gamer, so I bought this for performance as my four year old laptop was getting annoyingly sluggish. I find using this new laptop a delight. I also appreciate the very nice large screen. If you want a fast chromebook, I highly recommend this one. I just wish there were more powerful Chromebooks available at a reasonable cost. ... show more

  • Blows Away Anything Else at this Price Point
Capacity: 16GB|256GB SSD
We've owned 5 Chromebooks, including my daily driver, a Pixelbook Go. We've also owned several Macbooks over the years. Out of all the Chromebooks in our home, this one blows away anything made by Asus or Lenovo. We've had two Lenovos and both had QC issues. We've had 3 Asus machines: two were low-end and did the job, minimally. The third Asus we had was mid-range and mediocre in every way. But this Acer, at a slightly higher price point than our most recent Asus purchase, completely blows it away. Great keyboard, fantastic screen (not a touch screen), bright, great color pop. The extra RAM is great. Fast processor. No complaints about this device at all. The standard of comparison, in my view, is the Pixelbook Go. Even though it's 5 years old, it's still better than most available Chromebooks. However, this Acer with its newer i5 processor and 16 GB of RAM smokes the Pixelbook Go speedwise, and in almost every other way. So finally one of the manufacturers got the Chromebook right for a change, far below a grand. Seems that the only way to get a decent Chromebook is to spend a thousand buck, but this Acer does a great job at a decent price. No touchscreen, but who cares. If my Pixelbook Go died tomorrow, I wouldn't hesitate to pick up another Acer 516 GE. ... show more

  • Customer Product Support
Capacity: 16GB|256GB SSD
My Son accidentally cracked the LCD / screen cracked. Have had for 3 months. Called Acer customer service ready to pay for repair / screen replacement knowing it's not a warranty issue and was quoted the price of the laptop to repair. I told them that's the amount I paid for the laptop new and was told it's a system generated cost and they apologized and said sorry... I have never owned an Acer brand but my son wanted it. I had the same issue with my preferred brand Del* and they had it returned to them, replaced the screen and sent back to me within a week for a reasonable and acceptable amount. It's sad that Acer had a chance to keep me for future products but now I know Acer cannot be trusted or authenticated as a company that cares or backs up thier product. Product not the the issue here, support is not at all what it's competitors provide... it's time to get my son a new Del*... ... show more

  • Plays GoPro 13 videos well
Capacity: 16GB|256GB SSD
We purchased a GoPro 13 video camera from Amazon a month ago. I had a hell of a time playing back the videos on an older Acer Chromebook and on a Windows 7 desktop PC. After much research I was able to download the MX video player and with that I could watch my recordings on the Acer Chromebook, albeit the playback was slow and jerky. I wanted a faster Chromebook anyway so I placed an order here on Amazon. Huge difference, all the GoPro videos play immediately with the Chrome gallery up right out of the box. I'm happy now and if anyone has issues with a GoPro or other video cameras this Chromebook comes highly recommended. ... show more

  • Great Specs, but overpriced for the build quality
Capacity: 16GB|256GB SSD
Don't get me wrong, this is a great Chromebook. It performs well with multiple windows open running in the background, and battery life is decent. My only qualm about it is that the audio and speaker cut off far too frequently from time to time prompting multiple restarts - not sure if I just got a dud model or not, but it is a bit annoying especially if you have to log on to Zoom calls. For the price, the build quality is quite plasticky. ... show more
