Acer Spin 311 11.6" Touchscreen MediaTek MT8183C 4GB/32GB Chromebook - Silver - CP311-3H-K3WL

Oh how I love this Acer Chromebook! I decided to get a Chromebook after I lost my laptop when I left my job earlier this year. I wanted to do some work from home and didn't want to spend a lot of money, but I also didn't want to buy the least expensive model. I decided to go mid-range and I'm so glad I did! I honestly didn't realize how much you could do with a Chromebook. I love how lightweight this is. I can carry it in my bag and it doesn't weigh any more than a book. But it's also very well-made and sturdy. I charged it up the night I got it and I used it over the next four days without having to recharge it. When the battery gets down to about 50% the charging light turns red to let you know it's getting low. At that point I went another two days before recharging it. I also really, really love that it's a touchscreen. And I love that the screen folds all the way back. When I use it in bed at night I can lean back and put it in my lap and adjust the screen to the exact position that I need it at. I can type on the keyboard and use the touchscreen, which I've never been able to do with a laptop before. It's really convenient. If I fold it all the way back, an on-screen keyboard pops up so it can be used as a tablet. Another nice feature which my teenage daughter loves is that I can login by unlocking my cellphone. If for some reason I forget my password, I can still access my Chromebook as long as I have my phone. Or if I need to let my daughter into my Chromebook and I'm not around, I can unlock my phone and let her in without actually giving her my password. Super convenient. I can download and access my phone apps and messages on my Chromebook. In fact, when I was setting it up (which was super fast) it asked me if I wanted the same apps that are on my phone. I love that it has documents and spreadsheets. A helpful tip for anyone using documents -- Placing the cursor at the beginning of a document and Shift+Mouseclick at the end of a document lets you highlight the whole document. Ctrl C allows you to copy text and Ctrl V will paste it. Once I knew that, it was all good. I highly recommend the Acer Chromebook for both affordability and quality.
