Anybody else got one on here? Previous to buying my Acer C710 in 2013 I used a Linux acer laptop as my everyday machine and I've also got a Linux desktop aswell as my Android Galalxy S4.

Bought the Acer C710 as a toy really to play with but I carry it everywhere with me now and use it most hours of the day. I have upgraded it to 4GB (from factory 2gb.

I've recently been thinking of upgrading to the Acer C720 just so I get better battery life (C710 lasts about 3.5 hours) but now very tempted by the Toshiba 13.

Who's got what?

I've settled on the Toshiba 13.3" to replace my Acer C710

Where did you get it from? Im still using my Acer c710 at the moment which im happy with, But do want to upgrade this year as i find myself using the Acer for everyday surfing now and the 11" screen is a little small.

Lots of new Chromebooks coming out soon including some better Intel processors!

Still plodding along with my Acer C710

Still plodding along with my C710.

Was going to get a Toshiba 13 Chromebook for the bigger screen and better battery life, but apparently the screen isn't very good.

Anybody seen a Dell 11 Chromebook yet? its supposed to be the dogs dangles of the Chromebook world, most tests get 10 hours battery.

2gb is easily available, the 4gb seems rare at the moment.

They are becoming alot more popular tbh from what I have seen

Alot of the reviews have basically said it has the same resolution as the 11" inch ones.

I have 2x Linux laptops but they never get used now unless its for torrents thats about it.

[AJB88]

it is fast becoming a very good platform.

Yeh I agree I use mine everyday and love it!

Acer Chromebook 13 looks like a winner, K1 processor, 13 hours of battery, full HD.

Gotta get myself one of them once it comes out.


Sturdy old Acer C710 is still plodding on thought had it well over a year now.

Purchased a LG Chromebase for general home use now, adding a Apple Magicmouse and Apple wired keyboard (Simply because the wireless one doesn't have a numeric keyboard), Going to upgrade it to either 4gb or 6gb soon.

Hooked my Raspberry Pi up to it aswell using the HDMI in port.

Just a heads up, just been on the Chromebook offers page on my LG Chromebase and it's given be 1TB storage free for 2 years.. this is on top of the 250gb free for 2 years with my Acer Chromebook and 100gb free with my HTC One M8.

Anybody looking at the Pixel 2? Quite fancy the cheapest version.
