Back in June, I’d picked up an Acer Chromebook CB5-311 from Amazon. At the time, it was $377 for a pretty high-end machine with 12+ hours of battery life, a quad-core nVidia Tegra CPU and Kepler GPU with 4GB of RAM and a 1080p screen. Even at that price, I was really happy, but they’ve gotten MUCH cheaper through Acer’s official eBay store.
If you’re comfortable with a manufacturer refurb unit, you can pick up the same model for a shockingly low $259.99 with free shipping. At that price, there’s almost no reason not to if you’re in the market!
