Okay, so I was looking for a cheap laptop that has good battery life in which I could run Linux. So, I was eyeing on this one. But when I compared the price of this to the other countries, then I was freaked out. The Chromebook costs $199 in the USA which is about Rs. 12,500. With custom duties it should be abou Rs. 15000 which is a good price. But why the hell are they selling it for Rs. 8000 more above that? They do the shipping in bulk so shipping costs are almost equal to nil. Even Moto G which costs $199 in the USA, costs Rs. 14000 in India, so why can't acer manage the same? Why not? This thing could have had been a lot better priced but only if these companies cared about customers rather than just making profit. They just sell them for cheap in USA to expand their market and then come here in India to basically make it cost more. Just for comparison this same thing costs $199 in USA and it costs $380 in India, almost the double. Seriously, not worth that price. Price this at 15k - 16k then I will buy it. Any more than that, no! The product is not bad, but this could have had been priced better, hence a 3 from my side, just for the power consumption and battery backup. It is not Flipkart's fault in any way. It is Acer who is overpricing stuff, so blame Acer not Flipkart. Flipkart is and will remain the best online retailer in India and they are way better than the second best in that regard.
First and foremost this is not direct replacement of your regular PC. You cannot run traditional Windows/Linux application in it. It runs Google created ChromeOS, which means its just a browser. Yes browser, Thats it! Which also means, whatever you can do in your current Chrome browser it can do that, plus some more. Please read chromebook features on google site before bashing that its not actual PC. Now to the actual laptop: Its very, very, very lightweight. Battery life is awesome. In single charge I can use it 6-7 hours (+ I kept it suspended for almost a day). As usual chrome starts in seconds. If you don't powerdown and just suspend (like me) then resume it almost instantaneous. Screen quality is not that good. I have Sony Vaio SR as well and when I compare the display of that 3 year old laptop with this laptop then chromebook stills looks poor quality. But that is not problem for me. Keyboard is good. Initially I had problem with trackpad because surface was bit dry/rough but now it became smooth. It respond to two-three finger gesture very nicely. It also has stereo speakers and sound quality is good. There are two USB ports and one on the left is USB3. The data tansfer from USB3 harddrive to internal SSD was superfast. But since internal HDD (16GB) is small you can't really carry collection of videos/songs into it. Overall I am very happy with this laptop.
