We bought several Acer Chrome books & returned all but 2. The hardware is good except for some battery charging issues. Ability to run all day on 1 charge is my favorite feature. Low weight is very attractive to my wife.
Problem is Chrome OS has no way to set the console font or set system font, only browser fonts can be set. One lacking perfect vision beware; dialog boxes, email apps, system notifications, email setup, just the things I must have to use a computer daily, all are done in the little font that I can not read. For instance, email configurations are done in pretty colored font on colored background, making contrast poor and readability zero for me. This is a bug documented to Google years ago, a problem Google chooses not to fix and not an Acer fault.
A good machine with long battery run time, low weight, ready to convert to Linux-GNU to improve use ability.
