Thanks to one of our readers we have been alerted that the wildly popular Acer Chromebook R13 has gone on sale again at Best Buy just in time to snatch one up for you last minute holiday shopping.
As we’ve spoken on many occasions, the all-aluminum R13 Chromebook was the first Chrome OS device produced with a lot of its heart built around the addition of Google Play and Android Apps. The 13.3 inch convertible comes in two variations. The recently released 64GB version and the more widely available 32GB model.
Traditionally priced $399, the later unit has been marked down to $349 at Best Buy outlets and online. In case you’ve missed the review, here’s a quick rundown of the R13’s specs:
- MediaTek MT8173 ARM processor
- 4GB LPDDR3 memory
- 32GB internal storage
- 13.3″ 1920×1080 (Full HD) IPS Touch display
- USB 3.0×2
- 360° form-factor
- All-aluminum chassis
While the Acer R13 has yet to receive official Play Store support you can access Android Apps in the Beta Channel right now.
