TechReviewSource.com posted a review on the Acer C7 Chromebook running Chrome OS



The netbook isn't dead, it just got Chrome'd. With the Acer C7 Chromebook (C710-2847) , Google has finally cut down the price of the Chromebook to an undeniably affordable $200, using a netbook-esque design, but infusing it with the web-centric Chrome operating system. The result isn't as slick as the Samsung Chromebook Series 3 (XE303C12), but it does offer a wider selection of ports, a larger 320GB hard drive, and a keyboard that won't require as much adjustment, and does it all for $50 less.

Design
The Acer C7 Chromebook doesn't have the same slim build of the Samsung Series 3. Instead of resembling the current crop of ultrabooks, the Acer C7 is a dead ringer for the Acer Aspire V5-171, another 11-inch system announced this quarter. With a large vent grille, a bulging battery, and a clunky design, the Acer C7 looks more like last year's budget netbooks than this year's slick ultrabooks.
