Advantages of the Acer chromebook:
Doesn't have the issues that the Samsung ARM device has with code designed to run on Intel processors, which means that not all the apps in the Chrome Store are compatible with the Samsung.
You have significant local storage without needing to add an SD card.
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.
