![]() The SSD does seem to help performance a bit, but it's hard to tell the hard drive version of the C7 was fast enough for basic Web surfing. The glossy surface throws a lot of glare, too. The 11.6-inch, 1,366x768-pixel-resolution display on the Acer C7 matches what you'd expect on a standard laptop, but it lacks vibrant screen brightness or colors, and images wash out at extreme viewing angles. Still, tablets like the Nexus 7 manage impressive display quality in this price range. Touch pads can be done well on Chromebooks, just not on this one. And, in the 10 or so months since I last reviewed the Acer C7, it's even less impressive compared with the wonderful feel of, say, the Chromebook Pixel's touch pad. It's a far cry from the smooth feel of better-made laptops or the touch screen on any tablet. Tap-and-drag moves were also hard to pull off consistently. There's no inertial scrolling, so Web page browsing becomes herky-jerky. It works reasonably well for basic one-finger navigation around Chrome OS, but for two-finger scrolling or multifinger gestures, it's lousy. The clickable touch pad, well, that's another story. ![]()
