Hi George,

Just so happens I was looking at buying a Chromebook for myself recently :)

Amazon has some great deals, both on Acer and other brands;

https://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=chromebooks

Also take a look at Google's site as well.

https://www.google.com/chromebook/offers/  (Click the Explore button under "Find your now" on the big blue box on this page)

I avoid Ebay like the plague myself. Know too many people who have had seriously bad experiences when purchasing high priced items like Laptops etc.

I hope that's helpful.

Regards, Andrew
I'd do what Andrew suggests to avoid eBay, and check out what is available on Amazon. Since the Acer C720 is from 2013, I'd suggest getting a newer model Chromebook, as its basically just a computer running a Chrome browser, and a newer model means newer hardware.

Some things to keep in mind when picking out a different model Chromebook:
What hardware features does you friend want/is expecting? (good trackpad, keyboard, screen resolution, etc)
What size screen does he want?
How important is battery life?
Could be the most important question- What budget do they have for a new device?

Also, what kind of technical issues were they having with their C720? Could be something to keep in mind to avoid when looking for a new Chromebook if possible.

Regards,
Martin

Hello and Good Evening Everyone,

          Thank you very much for your shared suggestions and links.  My friend decided to go with the one offered within the list offered with the ebay link because of budget reasons in addition to its match to what she is already comfortable with too.
