Hands-on review: Acer Chromebook C740 review

If you’re the parent of a child who’s desperate to bring his/her laptop to school each day, you’re probably going to want to buy him/her a Chromebook. These low-cost, lightweight devices don’t offer much in the way of storage or processing speed, but they’re stylish devices that are perfect for document creation and web browsing.

For less than $300 (about £178, AU$319), you can buy top-of-the-line Chromebooks like the Acer Chromebook 13, which is powered by Nvidia’s ARM Cortex A15-based Tegra K1, and packs a 13.3-inch full HD resolution screen into a 3.31 pound machine – one of the lightest Chromebooks on the market. For $279 (about £165, AU$300), there’s not much to love about this laptop.

The same can be said for the Dell Chromebook 11 ($279, £167, AU$300), a 2.9 pound workhorse with an 8-hour and 22-minute battery life that looks as good as it performs.

Cut from the same cloth are the new Acer Chromebooks, the Acer C910 and Acer C740, two bulldog laptops designed primary for students.
