Great Bang for the Buck!

I'm totally thrilled with the Acer Chromebook R 11 2-in-1. Make sure you get the newer model with the quad-core Celeron N3160 and 4GB of RAM - you should get 32GB of storage too.
Here's what I like:
1. It's fast! Load a large page like cnn.com with lots of graphics and it will take a little time for everything to finish but even that is acceptable, the top loads fast, and everything else is fast in general.
2. It seems to run many Android apps very well! We've been playing some board games on it, like Tsuro and Ticket to Ride. It's great having a larger screen and the games play perfectly! Looking forward to playing Settlers of Catan on it!
3. Netflix works great on it! Video starts quickly and looks great, sure it's only 1366x768 but at 11.6" it really doesn't matter. The video looks excellent.
4. Battery life is great! Yeah, it will depend what you're doing but the first night I got it I was installing Android apps, trying web sites and watched a 45 minute show on Netflix and it was still at 75% after that.
5. I love having a 2-in-1!!! It's really needed with a touch screen and it's hand for games, some apps, and viewing photos and video.
6. Audio has good volume and sounds fine!
7. The whole family loves it!
8. The price...You get so much for the money!!! It's the best device I've seen for $300 by far!

What I don't like:
1. Sure, Android compatibility isn't perfect yet. I can't think of what didn't work but I think I had one app that would not install. I've done a number of games and productivity apps with great results.

Best Mobile Mouse I've Seen!
on February 12, 2017
Posted by: hotice
Verified Purchase:Yes
I highly recommend the Logitech MX Anywhere 2. Yes, it's expensive but here is what you get:
1. USB or Bluetooth connectivity
2. Rechargeable and you can use it while it's charging with a standard MicroUSB cable - great compared to others because if one with replaceable batteries dies and you have no batteries you can't use the mouse at all.
3. DarkField tracking is excellent
4. Good weight, not too light, not heavy
5. High resolution
6. Switch between three computers easily
7. Click or friction-less scrolling
8. They improved the switches from the first model so the buttons should last longer and be more reliable. I think the click feels better too but it's been a while since I used the first MX Anywhere.

Negatives:
1. Some marketing material mentions that you can set the DPI. There doesn't seem to be any way to do that even if you install the software it comes with. Thankfully, it's high enough resolution that I can use it at 2560x1440 without desktop scaling and it works fine, I don't need to lift my hand to get across that and two other 1080p displays, all three at one time.

2. There is no internal storage for the USB transceiver
3. Using USB takes one of the three connection "slots". Initially I thought those were for Bluetooth and it could connect via USB in addition to that. It's three total. You can do all Bluetooth, or have one USB and two bluetooth, however you want. Once setup, it's just one touch on the bottom to switch between computers and it does work very well.
4. No nice travel bag like the first version of this had

Fast, Great Battery Life, Great Camera

I've never been a fan of glass on phones. Why would you want glass on something that you will drop? I knew with my next upgrade I wanted a non-glass screen. Other things I wanted were:
Snapdragon 820, 3 or 4 GB of RAM, at least 32GB of Storage, MicroSDXC slot with Android Adaptive Storage support.
Snapdragon 820, 3 or 4 GB of RAM, at least 32GB of Storage, MicroSDXC slot with Android Adaptive Storage support.
The Moto Z Force Droid meets and/or exceeds all my requirements. This is by far the best phone I've ever had!
The battery life is excellent! I haven't had to charge it more than once in a day and I can almost go two days with lots of use.
This phone doesn't just last long, but it does so in style with incredible speed and smoothness. I thought it was just me but I did some digging and found a review, I think it was on Anandtech, that explained some reasons why it may be faster than other Snapdragon 820 phones. One was that the graphics drivers are newer than on other phones and that helped the graphics performance signifcantly. Another reason is that it has faster storage than pretty much anything else. In fact the storage in the Moto Z Forcce Droid is faster than in other phones with the same physical storage chips in it. Moto must have done something special with the storage subsystem. Anyway, whatever the reason is this phone is fast and I've extremely happy with the performance of it.
The camera in this phone is excellent! I've read that it was very good but I was surprised how good it was when I took a picture of my daughters at mini-golf in the evening. The picture came out very well and very bright in spite of what I thought may not be great lighting. The camera also starts very fast.
I also love the use of the low power contextual awareness processor in this phone. I can wave my hand over it to see if there are notifications - I also like the way I can touch one to see details. I also really like the way I can twist the phone twice to start the camera. It starts the camera very fast and you can take a picture almost instantly. The low power natural language processor also works great! I don't use it often but I've been using it here and there. It's handy to not even touch the phone can call out a search request or ask it a quick question that it can answer. I haven't noticed a drop in battery life since enabling and/or using these features.
While I don't have any Moto Mod add-ons I think it's a great option to have and the most elegant way to add an external battery to any phone.
The display is great! I love the 5.5" screen size and the resolution is of course very high so everything looks very sharp and crisp. The screen is bright and I've never had any problems seeing it. I think the colors look accurate too. I'm using it on "vivid" color mode.
I think this is by far the most under-rated phone! I strongly recommend it!

Can it be hardwired in for power so when i turn off the key it will automatically power down or do i have to use the cigarette lighter plug? I don' want to have to unplug it everytime i turn off the vehicle.
Yes, that's how it will be in most cases. Usually you at least need to have on "accessory power" in your car to get power to the power outlets in your car. So yes, it should go on and off automatically when you start and stop your car. That's how it works for me!
