Even with the great discount I got on an Acer Chromebook Spin 13 with 16 GB of memory, I don’t recommend most people get “this much Chromebook.” Here’s why, who should, and who shouldn’t.
Most people don’t need a super high-end Chromebook but if you do, there’s a new choice to consider: The Acer Chromebook Spin 13 can be had with a Core i7 U-series chip and 16 GB of RAM.
The Core i5 Acer Chromebook Spin 13 beats out the Pixelbook in terms of performance and still has a fantastic high-resolution screen. You can snag one for $300 off today only thanks to Amazon Prime Day.

Not everyone wants or needs a high-end Chromebook with a high-end price tag. The Acer Chromebook 15 is very basic, but this entry level laptop makes for a good first computer or secondary device.
The new Acer Chromebook 714 and 715 can withstand 4-foot drops and 132-pounds of pressure, so they’re durable. A fingerprint sensor and dedicated number pad bring security and productivity in the workplace.
Acer’s Next press event is scheduled for April 11 where the company is expected to announce new Chromebooks for 2019. Last year’s event saw the Acer Chromebook Tab 10 and four other Chromebooks.
When it comes to great displays paired with high-end performance, the Acer Chromebook Spin 13 is definitely a top-three contender. Normally priced at $899.99, you can nab this 2-in-1 convertible Chromebook for $699.99.
A pair of new Acer Chromebase devices with up to an 8th-gen Intel Core i7 are arriving this summer. These are ideal for group video, kiosks or business workstations in the enterprise although I know more than a few consumers that want a Chrome OS desktop.
