Product Information

If anything about the HP Chromebook 11 impressed us, it was the under-keyboard speakers, which blasted out clear and loud audio with surprisingly accurate balance. These packaged apps, which were introduced toward the end of 2013, make Chrome OS feel more like a traditional operating system. Just when it seemed like the netbook movement was history, along comes a platform that thoroughly embraces the concept. Those who purchase the Acer C720 Chromebook will also get 100GB of free Google Drive cloud storage for two years and 12 free sessions of in-flight Wi-Fi via Gogo Inflight. This Haswell-based processor was only just introduced in fall 2013, and it’s manufactured using a 22nm SOI.

Scrolling is still smooth even on heavy pages and with lots of tasks running at once, and the only thing I could find that choked up this Chromebook was playing full-screen 4K streaming video from YouTube — that isn't a light task, and when I dropped it down to 1440p the C740 could actually handle that with few hiccups.

The C720 ditches the C7’s antiquated spinning 320GB hard drive for a Chromebook-proper 16GB SSD that powers the computer on much faster and certainly aids in its responsiveness. Out of the box, the Acer Chromebook C720 comes with shortcuts for Google's Chrome browser, "Angry Birds," Picasa, and Gmail. This is not an attractive laptop even by last year's standards, and is further from cutting edge design compared to the 2015 competition. It's a device you can easily take with you when you're going out or walking between rooms in your home. The trackpad isn't exactly huge, but is pretty large considering how little space Acer had to work with on the palmrest here.

Considering its TDP of 15 W (as compared to the Samsung Exynos GAIA’s roughly 8 W), it will be interesting to see how this manifests in the way of battery life. In fact, colors on the C720P's display looked almost entirely different than those on the HP Chromebook 11, which sports the same size and resolution. It still works fine, but its dark-gray exterior is looking increasingly dated when compared with sleek systems like the HP Chromebook 11 (Verizon LTE) .This is double that of the HP Chromebook 11, and while it’s high by Chrome OS standards, it’s nice to have a bit of room for growth when the memory is permanently affixed to the board. What it lacks is Ethernet port, but it is possible to add a USB Ethernet adapter for wired networking. The Acer C720’s, on the other hand, are thoroughly mediocre , managing to get the job done in terms of volume, but not much else. Like all Chromebooks, the C720P features a row of dedicated controls that blend in directly with the keyboard's letter keys.
