Fantastic CB+ device!
I didn’t buy this for gaming, I needed a Chromebook Plus for myself. I did buy it because it has great specs at a great price, & it didn’t disappoint! Good build quality & a nice Keyboard. Screen is very sharp & good for my eyes, though I EXPECTED it to be Touch based on its original price. Battery life is very long with just web based tasks. Overall a very good purchase in the $500 price range. Included Controller is nice because at the the end of the day, this is my personal device 🙂

unopened with excellent packaging. Lightning fast
Just received. I was concerned I would receive an open box, however all the seals were in place on the packaging. The packaging was excellent, and the computer is lightning fast!

Blows Away Anything Else at this Price Point
We’ve owned 5 Chromebooks, including my daily driver, a Pixelbook Go. We’ve also owned several Macbooks over the years. Out of all the Chromebooks in our home, this one blows away anything made by Asus or Lenovo. We’ve had two Lenovos and both had QC issues. We’ve had 3 Asus machines: two were low-end and did the job, minimally. The third Asus we had was mid-range and mediocre in every way. But this Acer, at a slightly higher price point than our most recent Asus purchase, completely blows it away. Great keyboard, fantastic screen (not a touch screen), bright, great color pop. The extra RAM is great. Fast processor. No complaints about this device at all.The standard of comparison, in my view, is the Pixelbook Go. Even though it’s 5 years old, it’s still better than most available Chromebooks. However, this Acer with its newer i5 processor and 16 GB of RAM smokes the Pixelbook Go speedwise, and in almost every other way. So finally one of the manufacturers got the Chromebook right for a change, far below a grand. Seems that the only way to get a decent Chromebook is to spend a thousand buck, but this Acer does a great job at a decent price.No touchscreen, but who cares.If my Pixelbook Go died tomorrow, I wouldn’t hesitate to pick up another Acer 516 GE.

If you have a Google phone, a Google one account, and like to game this laptop is great! GeForce now can be a pain occasionally but when it’s working this laptops performanece is flawless. I’ve also been in a pinch on the road and my kid has to use this for his homeschooling and he was able to punch in his account information and get right to it with no confusion or unnecessary steps

Customer Product Support
My Son accidentally cracked the LCD / screen cracked. Have had for 3 months. Called Acer customer service ready to pay for repair / screen replacement knowing it’s not a warranty issue and was quoted the price of the laptop to repair. I told them that’s the amount I paid for the laptop new and was told it’s a system generated cost and they apologized and said sorry… I have never owned an Acer brand but my son wanted it. I had the same issue with my preferred brand Del* and they had it returned to them, replaced the screen and sent back to me within a week for a reasonable and acceptable amount. It’s sad that Acer had a chance to keep me for future products but now I know Acer cannot be trusted or authenticated as a company that cares or backs up thier product. Product not the the issue here, support is not at all what it’s competitors provide… it’s time to get my son a new Del*…

Great laptop
Currently using this for my job. With Chrome OS there is not any blotware from the manufacture. Everything with the OS is straight and simple. Takes a little getting used to but overall it was money well spent. The graphics and the monitor display are top notch even when attaching a 2k monitor to it.

Shuts down randomly too high price
The battery life is great. Itâs pretty fast, especially when used by multiple users, but the computer does shut down randomly completely signing everyone out, I donât believe this computer goes above full HD the controller that came with it went straight into the garbage Itâs really bad Itâs like a $15 controller. I am somewhat upset about the price I paid for it. It was not worth it.

Battery issues
Getting maybe 4.5 hrs tops. Luckily, I will mostly be using it plugged in, but this is not acceptable. Shocked and disappointed. Never had such poor power performance before.
