Acer C7 Chromebook


Andrew Cunningham, Ars Technica:

The laptop’s biggest stick­ing point is prob­a­bly the dis­play, an 11.6-inch 1366×768 num­ber. The color and bright­ness are actu­ally pretty good. However, as is com­mon in the low-quality TN dis­plays used in low-end lap­tops, the con­trast ratio is bad and the view­ing angles are worse. With an 11-inch dis­play you should usu­ally have the room to open the screen as much as you need even if you’re on a train or plane. In the case of the C7, this is lucky because look­ing at the screen from any­thing other than the opti­mal angle com­pletely washes it out in a hurry. A stuck pixel on our Google-provided review unit may also be indica­tive of less-than-perfect qual­ity con­trol on Acer’s part, though this is dif­fi­cult to ascer­tain from using only one machine.

The Acer C7 Chromebook is priced at US$199.
