Chromebooks have proved to be a viable, less expensive alternative to traditional laptops. The difficulty is figuring out which ones are actually worth buying, with competition for the best Chromebooks only getting stronger in recent years. Thankfully, Best Buy has made that easier by offering the sleek -- and might I say, superb -- Acer Chromebook Spin 714 for just $500. This is a $200 discount from its regular sticker price of $700. We don't expect this deal to last long, though, so if you want to take advantage of it, grab yours before the sale ends or inventory sells out.
Available in steel gray, the Chromebook Spin 714 comes packed with an Intel Core i5-1335U processor, a 256GB SSD, 8GB of RAM as well as a 14-inch screen capable of 340 nits of brightness and a 1,920x1,200 resolution. What we particularly like about this Chromebook is its durability and dockable stylus, something that many of its rivals omit. There's also a 1080p webcam, so you can jump on a video call whenever and wherever needed.Â

CNET laptop expert Joshua Goldman was full of praise for the model during his review, particularly highlighting its great performance and long battery life. While he noted that the touchpad on this model is a little small and the laptop does exclude a MicroSD slot, he still felt that "the Acer Chromebook Spin 714 is one of the best productivity Chromebooks available."
