would the chromebook be good for school

I'm a graduate student and have a Macbook Pro 15" at home as my primary computer. This computer, for the last 6 weeks, has been the computer I carry with my to campus and use in school for note-taking, and other tasks. It's the best thing that's happened to me in terms of classroom efficiency.

I don't have a chromebook, I have a touchscreen laptop and it works fine. I think as long as the chromebook has an usb port it will work.

Yes it runs Netflix smoothly. I have had no problem with my C720 Chromebook. It runs very fast and the battery life is great. Like it a lot better than other laptops I have had over the years. I use it mainly for e-mail and the internet.

Yes.I bought this computer for a friend so I have only used it once. She is very happy with it except she now wishes she had spent the extra money to get a larger screen. Reading anything on the smaller screen can be difficult.It has performed wonderfully well.Yes, it would be great for a student but buy the largest screen size.Good luck.

Although this computer performs very well and has touch screen I would not recommend it for school use. Computers for school use are best if they are mobile. I would recommend the Samsung Slate or the Surface with Windows 8 that should be available around Feb 9. I do not recommend the current Surface with Windows RT. The price is tempting but there are too many limitations regarding software that requires the desktop environment of Windows.

Yes, according to Google Support. Details at https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/183093?hl=en It's a regular flash/thumb/USB drive, so there should be no problem with any computer or tablet that has a USB or a micro-USB port.

It should work if you have a USB slot like on a regular Laptop or home computer. I'm not sure the type of USB slots are on a Chromebook. Look close at the specifications for the Speaker and also on your Chromebook instructions. Good Luck!

Yes. See for instance http://normcf.net/~john/chromebook/Acer/acerC7ChromebookUpgrade.html . I'll note that the Acer C710 is getting a bit old. Consider the C720 or CB3, which are other inexpensive Acer Chromebooks which may have better specs.

Yes. It is fast, has a touch screen and can handle all the latest software. I bought for my college freshman

Yes it will work good for school and home and you can play movies on it ... My son also plays mindcraft on it and it works very well

No this will not work for school, blogging, yes. I bought this for my 8 yr old son to play games, emails, you tube . You need something a little more advanced for school.

I use mine for law school. It will get the job done as long as your laptop is only a 13 inch or maybe a slim 15 inch.

I would recommend it to you. The wide screen makes it ideal for movies, but the audio quality is not so great. I wouldn't say it's bad though, just the internal speakers are sub-par. Get a set of external speakers, and you'll be good to go. As far as school projects go, it's been able to handle all the projects I've used it for :)

Depends on what you want to use it for. The font - even set to the largest setting - is not entirely big. So if you were looking to transcribe class notes (or something to that effect), I would recommend something with a larger screen (7.85" or larger)...perhaps a tablet that works well with stylus. All said, it's possible for this tablet to supply your 'college' needs...but again, I'm not exactly sure how you will want to use it.

Absolutely. Its a great and efficient laptop. I would certainly recommend it. Just realize that the screen is very small.

If you have as many pictures and other stuff as I did then, no. There is some storage space on the Chromebook but it is not meant to be a major storage device. I use my Chromebook as a tool that is light to carry, fast, and great for accessing whatever data I need. I store my data in cloud accounts online. My Chrome book is basically just an interface with a great screen for me. I actually much prefer having my info in clouds where it is accessible and share-able from any computer. If you want all your stuff local on your computer Chromebook may not be for you. Hope this helps.

Well, I used this computer for school as well, online and in class and it worked out perfect for me. I brought it to class with me and used it to take notes and did my online classes as well. I never really downloaded statistics programs on it, but I like how you can split the screen when typing a paper and look at information at the same time.
