Reviews for the Acer C720P-29554G01aww Chromebook

75% Acer C720P Chromebook
Source: Good Gear Guide English

Acer has been quick to add a touchscreen to its Chromebook line up, but there's not much you can do with the touch capability at the moment. If nothing else, it adds some much needed good looks to the Chromebook C720 series, and the C720P is still a solid model to consider overall, but the retail price is $100 more than the non-touch C720.
