Good performance and hdmi to tv works well

As a supplement to our Roku, we have the Acer Chromebook hooked up to our tv via HDMI. Mirroring the display to the tv was no problem. We did this because it can browse to some sites that Roku can't, and it can do it in a speedy enough fashion. Be sure to have AdBlock Plus or the original Adblock as an extension on the browser to avoid website ads. It's a snappy browser and it was easy and cheap to add another 2gb stick of RAM (the one in it was DDR3 10600 but we added DDR3 12800, and it was backwards compatible with the 10600). The 16gb solid state hard drive is small, but Google Chrome doesn't run many of the pc programs you might be familiar with. It's based on Linux but really stands as its own operating system. It's lightweight and perhaps somewhat delicate when compared to a notebook. Should you ever need the screen replaced, they aren't as inexpensive as most, and the exact replacement part number is b116Xw03 v.2 (not v.0 or v.3, as the mounting brackets are different). Hope this helps someone.Read full review
