I have an older Acer C710-2847 and I love it. It's small compact, pretty fast and has been of great use to me on my many business trips since I bought it in 2012. I was looking to upgrade to something bigger as my main issue with the 11' screen is that the screen was too small for browsing and the sound was not good (terrible choice in placement of speakers).
I also did a lot of research and I actually was going to wait for the new Toshiba Chromebook to be released this month but was debating the higher cost which I believe will run from $350+ for the two versions being released (that figure came from a Toshiba agent I had an online chat with). I really did not want to spend that much although I was quite excited about the new Toshiba offering a faster processor and a back lit keyboard (and some other good options).
Most of my research was done online so I went to a Best Buy to actually test them all out. I went with the Acer mainly for three reasons:
1. The build quality - all of the other books felt cheap. The Acer felt very sturdy and the mouse pad felt very sturdier as well. I could see the Acer being a little too heavy for some if you are looking to pack light.
2. Very fast - this has been mentioned here a lot so I won't go any further.
3. Sound is great. My old Acer had speakers hidden under the laptop??? These sit on top and on the sides of the keyboard. The only draw back is that to make space for the speakers they had to keep the keyboard about the size same as you you'd see in their smaller books.
The only cons I see is the color. Gets dirty but I keep mine in the dust cover it was packaged with when not in use. Small keyboard. Adding a back lit keyboard on future models would be a big plus. Maybe a little heavy for some but the Full HD bigger screen makes up for it.
All in all, you can't beat the price for what you get. I paid $249. I love Chromebooks and I know I will get my moneys worth and more.
My Best Buy number: 0540195884
I would recommend this to a friend!

Bought for my husband. He liked the idea of it being waterproof. He hated the fact that to make it fit, he had to cut the band. Seems like a poor attempt to get in the fitness tracking market. He wanted to wear it on his left hand. He would set it up but it would go back to its defaults. The watch would flip upside down. It wouldn't track his activity. Definitely would not recommend this.

I also got a bad one on the first purchase. My band would not charge at all. I gave it another try and decided to take it back fro a replacement. My 2nd one works great!
