Acer versus Samsung: Which Chromebook is Better?

The Acer Chromebook is the clear winner here. It's cheaper, it's smaller, it has a better screen, and it has virtually the same specifications as the Samsung Series 5. And have I mentioned the HDMI support? The Samsung Series 5 might look a bit...

Simply the best piece of technology I've ever used

Wow. Wow, wow, wow. I have to admit, I was apprehensive about this purchase. Even though I'd had plenty of experience with the Chrome web store and the browser itself, and even though I've owned an Android phone for several years and have long had my...

Fast startup ; Minimalist design and software ; fast, fast, fast ; The amount of web apps out there now is MINDBOGGLING ; Good battery life ; Great Screen ; Much better than average touch-pad

If you're not already in the cloud (i.e. you're still using Microsoft Office, iTunes, keeping your photos and videos on a hard drive, etc.), this will be a headache to set up to say the least ; Not the most innovative build quality in the world

Not Your Best Work

The Chromebook was sold to me during a commercial with the line "does it get the internet? No, it is the internet." However upon spending the hundreds of dollars to get it sent to me I was very disappointed by this offering from Google. The hardware...

A real lemon!

I bought this Acer Chromebook in March and since then I've had to return it twice for repairs and it just crashed again. Save yourself a headache and pass on this one.

Fast boot, responsive, easy to use, excellent battery life

For reference this review is written by a road warrior. I travel throughout the southwest United States in an unforgiving environment. The laptop is exposed to extreme heat (think 170 degrees in the car when it is 120F outside) during the day and can...

Great for what it is meant to do

If you are looking for a netbook I would say the Chromebook is the way to go. There have been some issues but everything has been fixable by either restarting or pulling the battery.

Consumer review by: carton "carton" (amazon.com)

get Samsung Series 5 550 instead

Unlike this model, the Samsung Series 5 550 is fast enough to watch Youtube reliably and use some WebGL apps. It also scrolls more smoothly. Within the same generation of common Intel reference design or whatever (clusters of these netbooks tend to...
