How does the Acer compare to the Samsung Chromebook?

Mainly, it's a lot faster (Haswell celeron, twice the RAM). Also, it's a lot easier to install a Linux distro, since the CPU is x86 and not ARM-based.

Hey, Just noticed your post. I don't own either, but from what I've gleaned from my research, there really is no comparison. The Samsung has a bigger screen, a better processor, and most important a more ergonomic keyboard. The only advantages of the Acer is that it has a more svelt form factor, and is a bit heavier, neither of which are that huge to me. I'm on the fence between the two right now, and believe it or not, I'm leaning towards the Acer. Main reason is price. For all its advantages, I can't justify paying $221 more for a netbook. Last I checked, I can get an Acer 751 (with the 3 cell) for $279, vs. $500 for the NC20. I know the Acer's going to be slow, but I don't believe the NC20 is that much zippier. I'm hoping that the Acer with XP will run reasonably fast enough for limited internet usage and word processing, which is mostly what I need it for. Even if I ad a gig of ram for $30, it's still almost $200 cheaper than the NC20.

Not sure about the Acer chromebook, but I just tried with my Samsung Chromebook and it does NOT fit. It works well the the macbook air.

pretty much like any other laptop. The S7 has a regular HDMI out put. There is also an Acer specific port, very similar to a diplayport, for which you can buy a vga adapter among other things. You can use the touch screen to advance your slides or the arrow keys or any regular USB or Bluetooth mouse or remote.

it really depends on which one you buy. Acer offered a 16, 32, and a 64 GB memory. The one on the attached page is 32GB which means you are probably getting 30GB or so after the OS is taken away. The downside that I had with my iconia tab is that the flash memory couldn't be utilized. I heard this was a common problem. The important thing with this tablet is that the SD card expansion is pretty much useless, but the connection to cloud memory is useful. I have switched to an Asus and I like it much better.

I recommend the Acer Chrome - especially as a second machine. There are some things such as MS silverlight that are not supported yet. The free chrome apps available cover just about everything else.

I personally bought the eMachines eM250 (the exact equivalent of the Acer Aspire One D250, just rebranded) from Walmart for $228 by seeing it in the computer cage up in Maine. The EXACT same thing except WITH a bigger harddrive (250gig). Personally I love it, and even though the keys are slightly cramped (89%), I didn't want to deal with the Dell touchpad which is a pain in the butt. I'm a computer guy, and I played with it in a Staples to see if I liked it, but no thanks. Also the Acer/eMachines is a breeze to upgrade the RAM. Just remove a screw, pop out the 1 gig, and put in a 2 gig. So if I may, I would suggest stopping by Walmart to see if you can get lucky like me. Has a cool brushed nickel look to it too (but its plastic). I've put it through the ringer, and it is surpisingly pretty powerful! Here is the Amazon link to it: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00323G71S/ref=s9_simi_gw_s6_p147_t1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-3&pf_rd_r=0TVG5SXWRB9HWKSRM88K&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938811&pf_rd_i=507846

I am nor sure I can answer your question. I bought this laptop because I have owned two other Acer laptops that were good computers.

I run it for basic usage, not for gaming. The scree is shiny to me. and I watch video on youtube, for my personal feeling, the screen is OK.The laptop's weak-point (for most Acer laptop), when you type the keyboard, sometimes the focus jump away.

Randy, that is a good question. When I received my c710-2856 I don't remember getting much information. What I did was go into the acer website and get the information I needed for the chromebook. I didn't need much information, because this unit is pretty straight forward.

I have two Acer and one has been okay for the most part. The newer one has already crashed and burned. I decided that it is worth the money to buy a Macbook Pro. Problem Solved

I apologize I'm unable to help with your question. I sent the Acer back to the manufacturer.

I own an Acer C720P (2GB) and a C720 (4GB) and the 4GB is noticeably smoother in day to day operation. It allows more apps to be run simultaneously without having an impact.In a Chromebook, more storage memory (over 16GB) means very little, but more RAM makes a difference. Note: it is not worth more than a $50 premium. I paid list $250 for my Acer C720 (4GB), not the $300+ the pirates are currently charging.

at first, you'll love the Acer Aspire One due to size and portability; however, did not like the RAM; I changed the card to upgrade, and destroyed the unit; even using Amazon's recommendation to do such upgrade. Now I own the Samsung np300 with 11" screen.

Laptop is probably better because of a more effective keyboard interface. The Acers can get a bit tied up sometimes. Also you can have the full Microsoft Office suite on a laptop which you cannot on the tablet
