IS THE ACER V5 122P O4O8 WORTH THE MONEY

Its worth the money but it sticks too much...you have to wait to do programs that should not take long sometimes it freezes for no apparent reason so a lot of my work is kept back waiting for it to wake up....its worth the money in terms of being able to download video so i can teach my class...

I own an Acer C720P (2GB) and a C720 (4GB) and the 4GB is noticeably smoother in day to day operation. It allows more apps to be run simultaneously without having an impact.In a Chromebook, more storage memory (over 16GB) means very little, but more RAM makes a difference. Note: it is not worth more than a $50 premium. I paid list $250 for my Acer C720 (4GB), not the $300+ the pirates are currently charging.

Yes it is a very nice laptop for the price. The only problem is that it has Windows 8 as the OS. If I were you I would wait till Windows 9 comes out and then purchase it.

I actually ended up returning my acer because the screen quality was awful. When switching to another screen, the images from the previous screen would be in the background for quite a while....even with video. Very annoying and apparently an ongoing problem judging from the reviews I read after. I purchased a nook hd for 149. that is totally awesome and so much better! Excellent reading and video even outside!

I agree with Mr. Viernes response - the main difference between the two is the RAM and HHD. And of course the screen size. But you can never have enough RAM so I'd upgrade to at least 6GB, or even 8 if your budget allows. The i5 processor seems to be standard on the 400, as it is on my 500, and it's plenty fast. You do have the option of upgrading to the i7, which is great if you're running multiple graphics. Otherwise the i5 should be fine. Of course the 400 has a smaller screen than the 500 but that may be a good thing if you travel often and space is a problem. The 500 isn't heavy, and it's very slim, but it fits tight in a standard sized computer bag. I agree with Mr. Viernes response - the main difference between the two is the RAM and HHD.

I installed the Developer Preview of Windows 8 (32 bit). All of the Acer drivers seem to be compatible. It took a while to download all of them from the support website and install them, but after doing so and installing the required applications, it runs really smooth and has a very "touch friendly" interface. One thing I dislike is that my folio cover prevents some of the swipe gestures necessary for Win8. I've had a couple of random shut downs and a few program crashes (i.e. Mobipocket Reader gives me some problems [also you can't easily exit full screen mode without the keyboard dock]). The onscreen keyboard is substantially better in Win8. Some of the metro apps are either buggy or just incompatible. There is a game called Labyrinth that doesn't seem to do anything at all. The "Socializer" gets stuck in Facebook login mode forever. All that said, I will be purchasing Windows 8 as soon as it comes out for my Acer W500. It is so much easier to use than Win 7 with the touch and boots in 8 - 13 seconds.

I am not happy with it. My thoughts about this WolVol has changed. You are better off spending a few more dollars on a laptop. I end-up giving mine away (it's a peice of work).

7. This laptop is great. All depend on what you're using it for. There are not a lot of accessories. The processor is amazing, graphics not too great, but you never have to worry about storage.

I think it does, the acer support are helpful although not very knowledgeable.

By "this model" do you mean the Blue XP 120gb model? Here's a cut and paste from Acer's website: Genuine Windows XP Home Edition; Intel Atom Processor N270 (512KB L2 cache, 1.60GHz, 533MHz FSB); 1GB (512MB onboard/512MB SODIMM slot) DDR2 533 SDRAM; 120GB hard drive, multi-in-one card reader, SD Card reader; 8.9" WSVGA (1024 x 600) TFT display, Acer CrystalBrite Technology; Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950; 802.11b/g WLAN, 10/100 LAN, webcam; sapphire blue chassis Has 3 usb ports - the memory can be upgraded by swapping a 1gb sodimm for the 512mb that's installed, for a total of 1.5gb.

The 120gb is no problem make sure you least have 8gb for the ram on your laptop

Too early to say but the new Haswell Chromebooks are pretty fast. The Acer C720 is half the price. I think $399 is really pushing it for a price point on a chromebook.Listen to this .. . . http://gigaom.com/2014/03/11/samsung-chromebook-2-benchmarks-chrome-show/Also note that Bay Trail and Braswell chips are coming out.

Sincerely I have never used that laptop in my life, and I'm not even sure that you can install this processor into a laptop, you should check with acer, what I can tell you is that this processor it's just beastly, have GPU integrated and it's incredible fast... If you can install this on your laptop, it's totally the best choice you can get

Most definately, I wuld say. The Acer is my 5th laptop it the last 20 years. It also the largest. The full size keyboard and desk top like screen are very comfortable to work with. If someone is showing you how to accomplish tasks or explain the workings of a PC it is easier to see what is happening and the larger keyboard makes for less mistakes. The Acer touch pad works very smoothly (but I prefer a mouse). The speakers are great resulting in very clear sound. Windows 7 makes it very easy to install apps and devices. And there is a users manual available via download.
