You still do not understand anything. I this notebook, the C720, I did not buy and do not will buy it, for all the reasons I have explained. Just because I run the brain, I study and read before buying. To your knowledge, I use Linux 13:10 flanked windows7 ... all handled perfectly by a 128GB SSD in my very very very old NC10 2008 works admirably.

And now we come to your "arguments", again full of serious errors and omissions.

The 'absolute weight' of all electronic devices in the world, always goes down , all the time ... you can not make a comparison between two notebooks were born after almost six years ! The netbook segment was a risk er manufacturers of notebook ( eroded the shares of the more expensive models with higher margins ), currently , we would , most likely, notebook from 800 grams and with the strength of the current top of the range . This is an elementary observation of the strategy adopted by manufacturers of notebook ( all) .

To replace the battery C720 you have to open the notebook (void the warranty). This is a political style that Apple does not like anything to those who buy non-Apple products. Really you think is normal that you do not have the freedom to change your battery in your notebook? And even if you were ready to open the notebook, you'd be free and able to find a battery built by the free market and price different from the original?

The RAM should always be accessible and easily replaceable through specific ports. This discourse becomes important and decisive when you notebook with very little memory (2GB ) or a quantity just enough. When a manufacturer gives you 2GB or 4GB and is careful not to get access to the ram ( not providing gateways ) and welding the modules on the motherboard , it is because she have decided that you do not have any decision-making power on the object purchased . I invite you to documentation page and read a lot. The architecture of this notebook , provides a maximum value of well- 16GB ... absurd to think of what work has been done to castrate every possible upgrade to the total detriment of end users.

The multi-functional devices such as smartphones have 2GB of RAM and some cost $ 600, as you say, but they have different intended uses. You try to make a phone call, bringing at your ear the C720!

Regarding the channel SATA, I'd like if you said the official document which states that the protocol is used SATA III (6 GB). Personally, the only information I have found relate to the adoption of the old SATA II (3GB). I look forward to the data and the source …

As regards the history of the battery life, it would be fair to maintain the homogeneity of the comparisons. Take the C720 system and we do work with Windows (the system being adopted in the world) and see how long the battery makes us work. It makes no sense to take a comparison of assessment Chrome OS!

On other operating systems, I will only make you observe that you, as the owner of your notebook, you should not even think about any limits! You could just decide to install linux or windows or Chrome OS, or all together, or staying on the dos For me it is unbearable having to hope that my favorite operating system, is allowed by the bios C720.

What I can not seem to explain , is that I would like to propose that the ACER to its customers a notebook with the same electronic characteristics of C720 , but without its limitations . A sort of ACER C721 FREEDOM

As I wrote in a post called "Acer , Are You Able ... "

Probably you have not read this post, or you did not understand the content . For clarity and to facilitate your understanding , I repeat : it would be great that would build a notebook ACER C720 equal to , but without the protocol GOOGLE ( the 'solderedbook project') ! A classic bios , a flap to access the ram, no module soldered , no special connector to change SSD , no size limit of the disc ( C720 is currently limited to a maximum of 128GB ! )

I am very sorry to realize that you do not know and, more importantly, you do not understand anything of electronics for a good finding/research of the best product with value and cost evolution.

Are you the perfect client for Google and Apple ...

Oh, I'm always happy to read lines inspired by so much kindness and goodness of heart . Before I answer , I want to apologize to you and with the forum, for my bad English. The fact that it is not my native language is not a valid excuse and does not justify myself.

Many things ( I would say all , but better not to exceed ) you write or are incorrect or patently wrong .
Who told you that a mobile device is not meant to be upgraded ? If a company creates a specific process to hinder the upgrade , it means that that company wants to prevent and improve the device ! Contrary to what you say , a good mobile device allows the upgrade. The real ultra portable devices , small and light, are the gloriouses 'netbooks' (Acer , Asus , Samsung ) and ALL allowed to operate simple upgrade ram memory , even in the case of Samsung, through a little door. Inform yourself and learn ... or at least keep your eyes open, when you observe the notebook of others.
On samnsung nc10 and on acer , the battery has always been removable and replaceable with original and third-party . Inform yourself and learn ... or at least keep your eyes open when you look at the notebooks of others.
With regard to the 3950 mAh, I am impressed by the ignorance in which you live . You do not know the difference between Ampere (A) and Ampere / hours (Ah) . The voltage in volts , has nothing to do really ! the value mAh exactly indicates the time in which a battery is able to supply a certain amount of current .
Study the fundamentals of electrical engineering .
The quoted battery lasts 7 hours if you use the "operating system" of Google Chrome OS, but if you had a desire to install Windows as a battery would last so ridiculous ? An hour?

The model with 4GB is the minimum acceptable , as are 2GB kit based smartphone ... Check!

The fact that there is a proposed C720 with 2GB should hit you and enlighten you ! It should ...

Leaving you in the cloud ! I want a device that keeps my data (all) . I want to have a choice , not an obligation to do so because of the wretched prisoner 16GB ( mass storage , base, the smartphone ).

All notebooks, large and small, expensive and cheap, ALWAYS have allowed users to install the desired operating system. Only GOOGLE works to get the opposite! Think!

I do not want to be in the scenario that you like it (and GOOGLE ) ... I do not want to do browsing ! I want the on-board electronics allow me to do what I want and not what Google wants ! The channel SATA , deliberately obsolete , serves to rinchiderti in a plane ... you understand that?

The system is designed for not welcome Windows. Bravo! This you get it . Maybe you ask yourself why ...

The bios is closed on itself, intentionally and the rapid boot is the fact that part of a mock "operating system" ... not a real one.

The price is very good , very good . It would be excellent if the electronics were not caged and if users are not treated as observers of websites !

On every possible argument with you, I would refer you the most important one of all , and that you have not understood : try to make the couple feel GOOGLE / ACER that there are users who want to open and flexible systems is a good attitude . I'm sorry to note that , not understanding the underlying reasons of what I write , you'll embark on a number of defenses to the bitter end of who you want to be a silent observer web pages.

I also do not think that yours is an uneducated or one who does not understand the heart of the situations ... I just think you need a long time to understand that you're closing , spontaneously , in a cage , happy to be managed. I do not mean you're stupid or with neuronal trouble , I would not say never!

Personally I would like GOOGLE / ACER could made a beautiful product that would allow everyone to use all SO ... not a trap pro Chrome OS, chrome browser , google web etcetera.

You know that I'd love to see Acer work on a device similar to the C720, but open? Do you understand?

Great question! Even for the Europe area, that is the same speech exchange, combined with different products and different costs. Hopefully Acer, sooner or later meets and proposes solutions.

Acer C720: SSD compatibility is not guaranteed!

Videomarquantoè — Mon, 18 Nov 2013 13:24:31 GMT

Directly by the Chrome C720 paper doc:

While it is possible to replace the NGFF (M.2) SSD, compatibility is not guaranteed. Reliability and power use may vary.

ACER C720, Another limitation: SSD max=128GB!

Videomarquantoè — Mon, 18 Nov 2013 13:21:13 GMT

I am sure that among computer enthusiasts, there are many those who are interested to know the MAXIMUM EXTENT that a notebook can achieve. All'm glad to know that potentially can be installed 16GB of RAM (although the C720 keeps us from doing upgrade, with the help of welded memories!). What can we say about the mass memory of the C720? That also in this case, we have several limitations and problems. The last one was discovered?
The limit of 128GB! If you thought to buy a new SSD for your C720, or to recover a 160GB, 250GB or 512GB, forget everything and canceled the project. There is a physical limit in the connector M.2/NGFF (responsible for accommodation SSD) of the C720 which locks all of a mssimo of 128GB! Did you know?

Chromebook: it is better to win together?

Videomarquantoè — Sun, 17 Nov 2013 09:55:20 GMT

The project must be to the advantage of the Chromebook manufacturer , purchasers or both? With a bit of presumption , I like to think I understand the reasons and hopes of Google, to support and launch its Chrome operating system . If the notebook built to support this project were free to end users , I would have nothing to say and not made one breath ... but if you ask me to pay, then I have a right to speak my opinion! Why can not we win together , manufacturer and purchaser ? Why a product must be designed and intended to be castrated and closed, in order to crush the customers at an unmovable plan ? Personally , I would be much happier and in a good mood , to test the Chrome OS , if my notebook would allow me to upgrade the RAM and if I could , with great ease and with my own money , buy a new SSD install on channel SATA III and not on ancient SATA II. I am no longer a kid and I do not exclude to be among the older readers of this swap space. This allows me, as the only thing, to be able to tell and say that I have never seen a project become successful , as it is only one of the parties to win! It has the courage to make bold choices ! Itself with the machines of the project Chromebook, power and above all freedom ... in this process, users will appreciate even more innovations and the change of pace of the operating system chrome . Users , especially those more experienced and more penetrated in electronics, would love such an approach.

Acer C720: Still SATA II, in 2014??

Videomarquantoè — Sun, 17 Nov 2013 09:02:18 GMT

The device C720 was launched in November 2013.
C720 is technically brand new . The notebook 's newest all ... the latest chromebook available!
The data channel SATA III (6 Gigabits ) was launched in March 2009 and is now an ultra mature and saturated, in the sense that modern SSDs are faster than SATA III can handle.
For what reason , technical and engineering , Acer C720 presents us with a downgrade , or with SATA II ( 3 Gigabits ) system launched in 2005? Why go out with an old system of 8 years ( in the electronics / computer are a geological era ) ? Today, if I try to buy a qualsiasis SSD , SATA III I find products that far exceed the maximum value managed by the channel SATA III , let alone that unnecessary waste , ending up with a notebook brand , brand new , but mortified and castrated from SATA II channel, working to less than half of the potential of our modern SSD !
If you combine this desire to castrate the data channel, with the policy of the ram modules soldered and not upgradeable, you get the politics and philosophy that is behind this product and this project.I'd love to read the opinions " courageous " ,instead of the usual silence; Acer what's your opinion? Thank you.

Re: c720 -- '2 GB DDR3 (4 GB maximum installable RAM)' ??

Videomarquantoè — Fri, 15 Nov 2013 13:32:07 GMT

Haswell architecture allows to reach the 16GB!
Acer should intervene, officially, to clarify and explain to everyone that this device, which I have dubbed "solderedbook" or "hostile machine" is a completely thought to enslave the users, and not to give them an experience of freedom where there is space everything, including chrome OS. Everything is closed, sealed, locked, restricted, prevented ... and serious, very serious, is that those who write about their experiences, tells of the terrible flaws (underpowered wifi, external 3G is not working, USB 3 with serious problems .. .)

Re: ACER C720: the ridiculous battery...

Videomarquantoè — Tue, 12 Nov 2013 17:20:08 GMT

Hello Cory,
we would all have preferred an improvement that leaves no doubt ... a beautiful excess of 5000 mAh battery, able to stand with dignity, every kind of work and with any operating system.
If it is believed that only means to improve something better than the previous model , then that's fine ... end of reports!

Would not it be more correct to compare homogeneous?
Same operating system and battery life! If we mix Windows, Linux, and Chrome, we will have results ranging from very different and not be comparable in any way.

Ah ... a curiosity: there are notebooks with 11.6-inch screen that mount on board battery 3950 mAh or even less capable of?

Regards!

ACER C720: the ridiculous battery...

Videomarquantoè — Tue, 12 Nov 2013 15:25:00 GMT

It seems (for now I use the time conditional) that the battery of C720 'solderedbook' either alone, miserable, ridiculous, 3950 mAh. If this news is true and confirmed, we would be discussing a battery that barely would be fine for a tablet 7 ", certainly not for a screen of 11.6 inches.
My Samsung NC10 netbook with Atom 270, year 2009 (!), Has a 5200 mAh battery!
As a battery would last like that?

Re: C720 Chromebook - wifi connection drops

Videomarquantoè — Tue, 12 Nov 2013 14:05:58 GMT

Can you try with other wifi net?

If yes, please repeat the same test (solderedbook and laptop) to check if the loss of signal is the same or something change.
