The increased memory is presumably an advantage for the Acer, but the Samsung ARM version runs fine with its 2 GB.

Disadvantages compared to the Samsung ARM chromebook:

There will be hard drive and fan noise, while the Samsung is blissfully silent.

It's heavier, and even with the extra weight and cost, the battery life is still a little less than the Samsung's.

Hope this helps. Yell, if you want any thoughts on using a Chromebook in general.
