After posting last week’s top 5 deal round-up and pointing out that Chromebook discounts are few are far between at the moment. Best Buy has just dropped the biggest discount we’ve ever seen on what is arguably the best overall device of 2022. Of course, I’m talking about the premium, powerful Acer Chromebook Spin 714 with its 12th Gen Intel Core i5, garaged USI stylus, and crispy 16:10 touchscreen.
While a bit of a departure from the tried and true 13.5″ Spin 713 we’ve all grown to love, the Spin 714 iterates in all the right places. Once again, Acer has delivered a solid 2-in-1 Chromebook with a great variety of premium features at a relatively affordable price. AT $729 MSRP, the Acer Chromebook Spin 714 offers up the most bang for the buck when you’re comparing it to other devices with comparable features but I understand that that’s still a big chunk of change for a lot of people. Thankfully, Best Buy has once again discounted the Spin 714. Check out Robby’s full review to see why we love Acer’s latest flagship convertible.
If you don’t have time to hear Robby’s opinion, I’ll give you the TL;DR rundown of everything the Acer Chromebook Spin 714 has to offer.
