I had a HORRIBLE support experience with Acer years ago and haven't bought from them since.
But for $139 this might be worth picking up as a backup for the kids...

Anecdotally speaking, my Acer r11 Chromebook from like 4 years back is still going strong with frequent use.

I don't doubt that Acer built crappy stuff in the PC world. But they have been a rock-solid ChromeOS supplier from the beginning.
The problem with these is the processing power- got one for my daughter and it just takes forever to do anything.
Yeah. I'm noticing a ton of these Chromebook posts. Must be for back to school. If not in need, I'd hold off and wait for deals on something snappier over the coming months.

Just returned the one I got for my daughter- currently looking for something with a little more power in the processing department.
I wonder if the build is metal or plastic. Hard to tell from the pics. Good:- appears to be 64GB of emmc, 1080p display and touchscreen. Bad:- appears to be slow MTK SoC, it's a refurb and not sure of the build quality.

Also Mediatek's M8173C is a pretty weak CPU even for a chromebook
