Acer’s Chromebook Plus Spin 514 is $200 off, marking a new low price
If you want a Chromebook that can double as a tablet when you need it to, Acer’s Chromebook Plus Spin 514 is one of the better 2-in-1s on the market. And you can buy it with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage for $499 ($200 off), which is a new low price, at Best Buy until the end of today, February 18th.
Powered by the Kompanio Ultra 910 processor, the 14-inch Chromebook offers impressive performance that’s great for everyday work and play. In our testing we found it can comfortably handle Slack, Spotify, and dozens of open Chrome tabs without slowing down. Battery life is excellent too, lasting a full workday and pushing well into the next. The 1920 x 1200 IPS touchscreen is also nice, with a snappy 120Hz refresh rate.
You also get a comfortable keyboard that’s pleasant to type on, along with a sharp 5MP webcam that’s great for video calls. If you want to use it for note-taking or sketching, the Chromebook also supports the USI 2.0 stylus, though you’ll have to buy that separately.
The main downside is the speakers, which sound muddy and muffled, so you’ll likely want to use headphones or external speakers. If you can overlook that, though, it’s a good overall Chromebook that can handle most tasks without costing a fortune.
