Testrapporten voor de Acer C720-2800 Chromebook
Back to basics. Terwijl andere fabrikanten zich inspannen om van Chromebooks een aantrekkelijkere combinatie van prestaties en bouwkwaliteit te maken, ziet Acer er geen kwaad in om zich gewoon aan het originele plan te houden: ze brengen de C720-2800 Chromebook uit met een budget plastic behuizing, een sober uiterlijk en een x86 chipset - dat alles voor $249. Wat kun je verwachten?

De Acer C720 is in vele opzichten de ideale Chromebook. Het apparaat is snel, makkelijk mee te nemen, heeft een prima batterijduur en verkrijgbaar voor een schappelijke prijs. Jammer is wel dat het scherm nog wat te wensen overlaat en dat de behuizing goedkoop aandoet. Het zijn slechts smetjes op een verder uitstekend apparaat, want Acer heeft met deze C720 een regelrechte aanrader in handen voor iedereen die een betaalbare laptop zoekt.

When we found the Acer C720 while writing our Budget Notebook Roundup earlier this month, we were initially very impressed with both its build quality and low price. After reviewing it more in-depth, we feel that the Acer C720 Chromebook does everything it’s meant to do well, especially for the price, and makes for an excellent second machine for users with more high-end application needs. It also can make a good primary computer for those who only need minimalist capabilities such as web browsing, video chatting and document editing. While not for everyone, if ChromeOS is the right fit for one’s computing needs, the C720 is a handy little machine to run it on.

While the rival HP Chromebook 11 is more attractive, with a white exterior and IPS screen, when put on the spot we'd go for the Acer C720. Why? Those handy extra ports. The simple addition of HDMI and, particularly, an SD reader makes all the difference, giving this simple cloud-based laptop the flexibility it needs to compete with the big boys. And given its £200 price tag, it really is an alternative to splashing out on a 'proper' machine.

For £200, the Acer C720 Chromebook gets a great deal right. We like the minimalist, understated design, the zippy performance, range of connectivity and the great battery life. But there are still plenty of reasons why this is not yet the ultimate Chromebook. The screen fails to impress, the keyboard is cramped and we are not the biggest fan of the touchpad, either. If you can accept some of the limitations and buy into the idea of cloud-based computing, the C720 is an all-round solid performer well equipped for everyday tasks. You'd be hard pressed to find a laptop at this price that performs as well.

The C720’s 11.6in display has a 1,366x768 resolution, but now it has a matt not glossy finish, which significantly reduces the amount of reflections that appear onscreen when you’re outside or in a brightly lit office. The screen’s overall brightness is still dim, but we could see the screen clearly from a variety of angles thanks to wide viewing angles. There’s also a generous amount of screen tilt as well, so you shouldn’t have any trouble finding a comfortable working angle. Admittedly, Chrome OS’s offline support still needs a little work, but it’s hard to complain when the C720 is such a bargain. If all you need is a no-nonsense laptop where you can get online easily and take with you on the move, the C720 could be for you. It wins a Budget Buy award.

I’ll admit I’m warming to Chrome, but it’s a relationship that’s still far from cosy. The useful app choices remain very limited and the OS still feels rough round the edges in places and the printing limitations are as annoying as ever. Yet, whatever you think about Google’s Chromebook experience, Acer has turned out a respectable, compact notebook at an affordable price with an all day battery life.

One key criterion we like to use in evaluating a product is whether we'd actually want to use it day-to-day. The Acer C720 Chromebook has many faults and limitations, but even taking all of those into account, it's something we definitely would want to use, for the price. The key downsides we noted, including the display, the keyboard, and the speakers, really don't matter for casual use. They would get annoying if this were your one and only PC, and we don't recommend the Acer C720, or any Chromebook, for that matter, as someone's main machine. It's as a computing sidekick that the C720 shines, a laptop that you can flip open at a moments notice, even if you haven't charged it in a while.

When it comes to internet companies, Google is one of the best companies in the business. Their search engine unbeatable, and it’s unlikely to be challenged by anyone in the near future. However, the same can’t be said of its Chrome OS project. In an attempt to take on Microsoft, it has created an OS, which is not even half as usable as second grade distros of Linux. Needless to say, it’s very difficult to recommend the Chromebook, because fully-functional Windows 8 laptops are available for a lot cheaper. Finally, if you’re looking for a light-weight companion for productivity and media consumption, Lenovo’s IdeaPad S206 and Acer Aspire One A725 are much better options.

It was never going to set the world alight, but there’s much to like about the Acer C720. It’s quick, has good battery life, and packs it all into a package that’s light and practical. We prefer the HP Chromebook 11 for its IPS display, but with that machine currently unavailable due to overheating concerns, this is a decent alternative.

Chromebooks are still a new idea, so it helps a great deal that the C720 has such great pricing. If you are heavily into gaming or need to run specific software for your work, then you can forget about this machine - the lack of serious games is a big disadvantage. But there are a lot of use cases, where the C720 Chromebook makes so much sense. The only complaints we have are the display and the keyboard; the former needs to be replaced and recalibrated, while the keyboard is in need for some serious tactile and build improvement.

The Acer C720 Chromebook is simply a nice product. In terms of the end user experience, the design and build is so good that it makes you want to keep the computer perched on your lap, which is rare when using such a smallish notebook. The array of ports give you plenty of options for peripherals and connectivity; for example, having two USB ports, one on each side of the device, is great, and the full HDMI port and SD card slot are welcome additions, too.

All up, Acer’s C720 Chromebook is a very capable laptop if you're already ensconced in Google’s Drive and communications services. It performs its intended tasks very well when it’s connected to the Internet, and it can even be used effectively in offline mode. We like the fact that it can also be used for Internet video streaming, and that it comes with a full-sized HDMI port to facilitate the connection of a second screen.

The Acer C720 Chromebook (C720-2800) comes closer to Chromebook nirvana, but still has to overcome the short 16GB of storage and the fact that its screen pales in comparison to that of the HP Chrombook 11's IPS display. If there's any system that's screaming for a 16GB SSD + 500GB HDD hybrid setup, it's this system. Because of the innate desire to keep lots of files on local storage and the spottiness of Internet coverage, the current Editors' Choice remains the Acer C7 Chromebook (C710-2055). That said, if you already have a mobile hotspot like a MiFi Liberate or Verizon JetPack$39.99 at Amazon, the new Acer C720 Chromebook (C720-2800) is a great affordable alternative to a laptop or tablet.

The Acer C720 Chromebook left us a bit torn. With some budget-priced, touch-screen-enabled Windows 8 laptops taking up residence in the high $300s, and the Chromebook competition in the $200-to-$300 range getting hotter, we suddenly find ourselves a bit fussier about Chromebook aesthetics and component quality.

Thanks to its Haswell-powered CPU, the $249 Acer C720 Chromebook offers better performance than its predecessor and its low-cost competition. Like most Chromebooks, this one is well suited for those who primarily surf the Web, check social networking and play casual games.

The Acer C720 Chromebook is a speedy, sharp Chrome OS laptop that has a simple design and boasting rights in the performance department. The laptop is a step ahead of many other competing Chromebooks, and is more than able to hold its own as an everyday laptop for those who do basic tasks: media, email, Internet, chatting, word processing, and such. The price point holds steady at $249 USD, meaning though you’re getting a performance boost via the use of Haswell, you’re not paying out more than what you’d spend for other Chromebooks.

If you've decided you want a Chromebook, the Acer Chromebook C720 is worth a look. Sure it's not as good looking as the also new HP Chromebook 11, but it's faster and has longer battery life than most competing models, including HP's. That makes the Acer appealing to first time Chromebook buyers who are accustomed to faster hardware on PC platforms and to more experienced Chromebook users who tend to hit hard with lots of open tabs and multitasking.

Commentaar
Intel HD Graphics (Haswell): Processor grafische kaart die geïntegreerd is in de mobile Haswell Celeron en Pentium processors. De HD Graphics is de tragere, GT1 genaamd, versie met minder execution units (EU's).
Alleen oudere games kunnen vloeiend draaien met deze grafische chips (als ze niet veeleisend zijn). Gedeeld geheugen grafische cores in deze categorie hebben het voordeel van minder warmte-ontwikkeling en langere batterijlooptijd. Voor kantoor, internet, beeldcorrectie- en videomonteringswerk zijn deze grafische chips nog steeds bruikbaar zonder enige beperkingen.
