Does anyone have one on here, if so do you have time to tell me what you like and dont like.
Am wanting something with a 10" ish size screen and keyboard to take on holiday for just browsing the web and picking up emails and someone suggested this would do the job at a much cheaper price than an ipad.
Thanks

personally forget the laptop and enjoy the hoiday
I will enjoy my holiday don't you worry, lol
I have this Chromebook and I absolutely love it.
Its really fast and the screen is HD which makes everything look nice and crisp. I only needed something for browsing the internet and watching YouTube videos so the Acer was a no brainer at that price.
OP, I recommend you get a Samsung one with an Intel processor, not the Acer one with ARM processor even if the ARM one is cheaper.
The Acer has an Intel Celeron Dual Core Processor.
The other real problems is that you cannot run iTunes on it and need To Cloud printer.
It's ideal for word processing, spreadsheet etc and surfing the Web along with EMAIL.
Also you can use a lot of the apps offline.
They are very well built.
Are you looking into the new Chromebook (I believe it's called Pixel)?
Matt - Dont think I'll need a printer as I have a desktop/printer at home and not bothered about i tunes but thanks for pointing that out. Just really wanted it to browse the web when I'm away from home, have a samsung galaxy s2 which is fine but wanted something with a bigger screen.
Another question, friends say get an ipad but what would that do for me what the chromebook wont do ?
Burn a hole in your pocket faster? If you want a tablet, have you considered a Galaxy Tab 2? Pretty much on a par with a Chromebook pricewise - personally I'd choose a Nexus 7 for the job you want, but it isn't 10in.
Thanks for that website, lol and thanks to everyone for their help
1) Ive set the home page in settings to my fav website but it doesnt come up when I sign in
2) I cant seem to transfer pictures from my phone, attached the phone cable and the phone says found device but nothing happens on the chomebook
3) Also tried to put my memory stick in chromebook to try and transfer pictures from there and when I insert it it makes a noise but again nothing happens on my chromebook screen.
What am I doing wrong please?
Open a specific page is the option you need iirc.
