Which chromebook should I get?

Hello! I am looking to buy a chromebook for internet use, netflix, youtube, and for student purposes like taking notes and projects. I was wondering of these two models which would be better?

The acer c720 seems to be the best of them all but i am a little worried about the screen size.

The asus c300 has a bigger screen but I heard that the performance is not as good. It's only $20 more than the acer though for a 13 inch screen.

Idk which I should get since the asus chromebook does not have many reviews that I could find. Thanks for any help!!!!!!!!!

    I would stay away from Chromebooks solely because of their operating software! I used to have one well still do to the school i attended required them! Everything is in the cloud they have little to no disc space unless you get an external hard drive which is pointless because it cannot run programs like Microsoft word (FYI this is from my own experience and researching they may have changed now) I do own an Acer laptop that runs windows and it is decent for the price. I do know that they make some cheaper laptops that maybe in your price range. I would always recommend an actual laptop over a Chromebook. Now if you are content with purchasing a Chromebook don't worry about the screen worry about the "stuff" inside. the c300 is older so i would stay away, while the c720 is newer and if the screen bothers you, you can buy a monitor or hook it up to a small tv with an DVI cable if the Chromebook offers a DVI port I hope i was able to help :)
