Overall a great Chromebook. The screen is beautiful but it does take some time to get adjusted to its height. Only concern is battery life. Not as long lasting as I had hoped.

Ive owned this now for 4 days. Ive been on with Acer tech support chat 6 times. The screen continues to flicker and readjust at least a half dozen times a day. Acer had me go thru 3 self repairs. I reset the battery (never heard of that one before), I powerwashed twice and even reloaded the OS. Nothing has changed. Acer wants me to send it to Texas for repairs. Its a 4 day old $500+ purchase. Should that be necessary? Nope. Best Buy would accept the return as its under 15 days, but they wont exchange it. There are redflags all over the internet about Acer screens doing this. Granted, its not all of them, but a very large portion are this and the other 713s. Ironically Im using the machine to search for its replacement. Im also searching businesses that are not Best Buy. Buyer beware. And by the way, the last Acer tech said that if I dont send it in for repairs "it will get worse". One tech asked if it has "gone black yet".

My second Acer Chrome Book through Best Buy
ByAcerChromeBookSpin514
This is definitely a big step up from the first Acer chrome book I had. I love my new chrome book, the HDMI is a very useful item if your stream movies a lot like I do. The screen is a very nice size. I am very happy with this item and will most likely keep purchasing Acer chrome books through Best Buy. When it arrived, I was amazed how well protected the computer was from breakage. I couldn’t be happier. Best Buy always gives you the full specifications which really helps in making a decision.

I'm returning the 713 because of a bad screen flicker. Does this model have any screen problems like that?

I'm returning the base model 713 due to screen flickering. I e read that there are numerous Acer products with the same problem. Has anyone had such an issue with this mod tier model?

When will it show up in stock?
It was or at least looked to be available this morning between 5am and 11am. I drug my feet and left it in the cart and now it's gone. Hope it comes back soon!
