Reviews for the Acer C710-2457

50% Review: Acer's C710-2457 Chromebook is a basic, bargain browsing machine
Source: PC World Archive.org version
There’s nothing wrong with the Acer C710-2457 Chromebook, other than its being as unremarkable as nearly every other Chromebook now available. Low prices don’t seem to be the answer, given that HP’s Pavilion Chromebook, which sports a 14-inch display, is a strong seller even though it costs about $100 more. Maybe if a few more vendors stuck their necks out to improve the user experience, they’d find more willing buyers.
