One of our favorite Chromebooks of 2016 is on sale again! The Acer Chromebook 14 is a sleek, unassuming device that delivers where it counts and looks great doing it; all for only $205.99.

While this may not be the “Gold” edition, the internals and the capabilities are identical to its Midas-touched sister.




I won’t bore you with my love for this device. You can read any number of my previous articles if you have some time you need to kill. Instead, I’ll give you a quick rundown of the specs and where to pick yours up.

The Goods

  • 4 GB Memory
  • 32 GB eMMC SSD
  • Intel HD Graphics 400
  • 1920 x 1080 Full HD IPS
  • All-aluminum

    Bought this Chromebook a few months ago and i absolutely love it! When i show it to people they usually dont believe its that cheap.

    Be careful with Acer refurbs. I bought this refurb 3 weeks ago for that price and it shipped with an old chrome version and when I logged into it, it went into a continuous boot loop. I can understand why it was returned. I was able to go into guest mode and update the chrome version and it worked fine after that but your average user wouldn’t know to do that. It was obvious to me that Acer did nothing other than taking the return and reshipping it as a refurbished unit. There was no refurbishment at all and no new battery. All I’m saying is, Acer refurbs are not like Apple refurbs.

    • This is neither specific to this model nor even to Acer. This is a common problem that is reported over and over again on Chromebook Central. It happened to me with an Asus and I’ve seen it reported on numerous models.

        Correct Simon. Simple fix. Log in in guest mode, run update and fixed!

    Doesn’t ship to Canada . And as usual amazon.ca has them starting at $670.00 .

  • I had one and it was a great machine, in my neck of the woods, you can pick one up on sale for $270.

    Robby mentioned you/he have a new Chromebox , the one that’s hard to poke around inside ? Did you mod it yourselves ?

    • Gabriel Brangers

      He did. ?

  • I bought one of these for $200 back in november directly from the Acer refurbed store, and it has been great. This was actually a test run for me to see how I liked the chromebook idea, and it turns out that I love it. I will likely gift this to someone soon and pick up the new Asus once some of the more higher performance models are in stock.

    The fact that you can get a truly high end machine (for a chromebook, but its all relative) for $500 – $600 is incredible. This has easily been the best $200 PC I have ever used (I would say owned, but its the only one in that price range I have owned).

    Hi People

    Does this device have an SD slot?

    • Gabriel Brangers

      Unfortunately, no.

  • Frank Carollo

    Will it be one of the Chromebooks that can run apps?

    • Gabriel Brangers

      Absolutely

  • Dell had refurb Dell CB 13’s (Celeron model) for only $199 this past week on their outlet. Boring design compared to the the Acer, but I’m looking forward to getting back into Chrome OS.

  • What Octane score has this been getting?
