But the older Acer netbooks used Fn+up/down, so probably something similar can be done. Alt+up/down, maybe. When researching this machine a couple of weeks back, I saw somewhere that it was based on a similar existing PC-compatible Acer model, V3 or V5 maybe, or the ES1 series (can't find the reference again, of course). But all of those with 11.6" displays look to have older or less powerful processors, typically the Celeron N2840. The Celeron 2955 in the C720 is about 50% faster. The E3-111-P8DW has a faster CPU, but it is a third-generation N3530. Standard hard drive and socketed RAM, though.Received on Wed Jan 07 2015 - 19:08:23 UTC
