Support for my Acer C720 runs out in November 2018

https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/6220366?hl=en

Isnt there some kind of expiry on chromebook os?

Wow ! Something cheap in Harrogate ! Doesnt happen often. Saying that it is the porn surfing capital of the UK, this should be snapped up with any tissues that may be on offer.

Good find

Depends where you sit on the spectrum. Some of us enjoy the community and conversation

I have one of these chromebooks - they are excellent! (As long as you know what you're getting)
Never seen them cheaper than that price...

I have a C720 and use it every day. Still the best chromebook you can buy in my opinion.

gosh, dirt cheap if you can get one of these, heat from me.

I have one of them for over a year - perfect for the internet. It takes only 6s to switch it on. And battery holds for over 6h of intensive use.

I have had my C720 for nearly 2 years now, paid £100 more than this price for it, and that was on offer at the time!.

Pros:
It is still amazing, open the lid and the chrome OS is on and ready to go literally instantly, battery life is phenomenal and I have never found a laptop or netbook that comes close.

Cons:
Touchpad feels odd to use but you get used to it - acer have not used the best parts for this.
The keyboard can leave a funny line on the screen (which rubs off), to solve this I leave a screen cleaning cloth on the keyboard when I close the lid.

Chrome OS is not going to be for everyone, but it covers probably 95% of peoples computing needs, what you can't do is game. I highly recommend you give it a go, at this price it would be silly not to at least give it a try.

I have the c720p version of this laptop. Only difference is that P is the touch screen version, great quick laptop. Would buy a 2nd one if lucky to find one for this price.

Yes, searching first, asking for clarification later is always good.
But as you say, this is a forum, not just a deals notice board. There has been a lot of very useful, first-hand knowledge shared on here, practical and technical, and some of the tangents have been very interesting and informative.
I welcome the forum aspect in its entirety. And google can often spit out a list of meaningless drivel.

Please people, search then ask, but don't stop others sharing experience.

They have acer notebooks and Lenovo ones for 150

Chromebook I bought

Found one in Harrogate store

Eh?

It's a deals forum, not a technical support forum. The second result in google is a trusted review, which is far more useful than a bunch of terse specs or the gobbledygook that the asker feared they would get. Always worth googling first and then asking later if things are not clear.

Jus picked up Hp notebook 14ac100na for 100

Exactly where the op said behind the electrical desk

​ahh, the Ronnie Corbett / Harry Enfield sketch.

OP seems to have snapped up the only one at that price. Sorry, but have to vote cold.

Pardon spelling.

Great deal thank you for posting,if their is any the staff will have them can you blame them I would.

Another single store deal with lots of heat! :sunglasses:

I may post a deal about my local grocery selling off apples at 5p... (not sure which gen the apples are or how much memory they come with though...)

Own this myself really good for the price I just regret not buying a bigger ssd for when i installed windows 10 I found i didnt have enough space

He would have been quicker to Google it in the first place. Why should someone else have to Google it, and the cut and paste the info for him? And no, it doesn't affect the ability to leave comments at all. Any sensible person would have Googled for it first and then asked a question or two if they were unsure about a particular aspect. In those circumstances, people are more than willing to help in my experience.

Pure Goose Chase deal as no way a new one of these is being sold for £68. This has the Haswell Celeron which runs faster that the current Chromebooks Celerons costing £150+.

Great Chromebook though. Fast and well built (though 4gb would have been nice).

Voted hot, however so many muppets cannot google the specs, it beggars belief. can the same people actually surf the internet without a child's help? Oh well thank god it's cyber space and I do not have to deal with them in real life. Oh the irony of the simpleton :-P

Interesting, verrrry interesting

​you can actually back up, stream and listen to your own music offline for free, it's only if you want music streaming like Spotify that you need to pay. tons better than iTunes IMO. and get 5 other friends together and join google music family plan for £15 pm between u

Great deal,

I recently upgrade the SSD with this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00IZNYDBG/ref=sr_ph?ie=UTF8&qid=1453761170&sr=1&keywords=42mm+m.2+ssd

and installed Windows 10. Runs perfectly. Those interested simply google coolstar and reddit.

Apparently so...but I'm always slightly dubious when a call centre tells me something like that.

20 seconds to post a question.
1-120 minutes to get a reply.
Or
60 seconds to type model into Google.

If it was an obscure item or a very rare model then I'd agree with you. People don't need to research in a library anymore or find the local elder for information on ancient tradition.

​Well, with wine you can. I believe you might get adequate performance with windows 10 too.

According to Sainsburys there's only one store in the country with any stock - in Basingstoke - and after spending 20 mins on the 'phone - they actually don't have any.

Any more details on the £150 laptops would be appreciated!

Google has its own music service Play Music for £9.99 you get unlimited access to 30 million + songs and there's an even an offline mode so you can listen wherever, and can also can add up to 50,000 songs to Google Play Music from your personal music collection using Google Play Music for Chrome or Music Manager (up to 300MB per song). Sounds good enough to ditch ITunes?

That won't help you run iTunes.

Gaaaahhhhhhhh I was there just last week! :disappointed:

This would've made a good toy/experimental machine especially as the investment isn't as big as a properly priced one.

I've had one of these for what seems like 3 years and the battery life on it is still freeking awesome! Recommend a bluetooth mouse too
BUY BUY BUY!!!!!

great find heat added

Yet that was still a prime example of how ....not to be. Maybe...*gasp* they saw this deal and thus were not on Google, so thought they'd check the specs for a quicker and much more accurate result from a human being rather than a load of (often useless) blind algorithms. Outrageous suggestion to some, I realise...

I would get this if I could find it. Only use a computer for the the Internet, is there a way to run iTunes on a chrome book

Bargain

whats the specs please ?

People are incredibly helpful here, particularly if you show even a remote willingness to help yourself.

This is ace - I've got one, and upgraded the ssd to 128gb with this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/128GB-ZTC-Armor-Solid-ZTC-SM201-128G/dp/B00IZNYDBG/

And you can even install windows (with a bit of work).https://www.reddit.com/r/chrultrabook/new/.

Not bad for under 150...

Poster says....what are the specs please. Perhaps they had hoped people on here would be helpful. How naive. :smirk:

Great if you can find one

whats the specs please ?
