‘Very light and easy to use’
Users of all ages have been enjoying this laptop, with everyone from kindergarten students to “retirees.” It’s been called “easy to use” by many reviewers, especially those who are already familiar with ChromeOS.
However, if you’re used to the Mac or Windows operating systems, it may take some getting used to. Reviewers note that there are also some “limited capabilities,” as certain programs or apps may not be compatible with this device.
Final verdict
If you’re looking for a device that’s able to suit a wide array of creative projects, the Acer Convertible Chromebook is a top contender. Shoppers have been impressed by its versatility and durability, especially when presenting and working.
While it “gets the basic jobs done,” just know before you buy that the ChromeOS may not work with all of the apps you’d want.
