I bought an Acer C720 and replaced its native 16GB SSD with 128GBl, set it up for dual boot and put Bodhi Linux on it. Since the initial tests, I've never run it on Chrome.
As mixture says, you endure sacrifices for the battery life - the screen is pretty poor on this model. OTOH, it has USB3 and HDMI - so on the whole it's been a good fit.
