Pros

Affordable.
Plenty of ports.
Large hard drive.
Simple to use.
Shockingly low price.
100GB of free Google Drive cloud storage for two years
Competent screen and keyboard

Cons

Netbooky design
Disappointing battery life, USB 2.0, not 3.0
Saddled with an ugly design.
Short battery life.
The Chrome OS is still too limiting, though it's made some strides in a year.

If today we were reviewing the Acer Aspire One A0756-2641 notebook, from which the Acer C7 Chromebook is derived, then it would be really brief. Compromised, and too expensive. Priced at around $329, the spec sheet is spared utter embarrassment by...
