That’s exactly what Best Buy has done and right now, you can pick up this feature-rich 2-in-1 Chromebook for the low price of only $429. The value of this Chromebook may be subjective at its original MSRP however, that changes when you knock over $100 off of the price. MIL-STD 810 (Sand and Dust testing based on MIL-STD 810F.)

Yes, you can wait it out and find a deal on a newer 12th Gen Chromebook that will get you somewhere in the realm of $600 but I don’t feel that detracts from the Spin 514 and what it has to offer. I can certainly see both sides of the coin but still, Acer builds great Chromebooks and anything under $600 with this kind of power isn’t exactly a ripoff. Some would argue that AMD is still too far behind in the game for Acer to demand a $549 price tag for the Spin 514. While that power may be overshadowed by Intel’s newer CPUs equipped with Iris Xe graphics, the Ryzen 5000 series features significant gains over the last iteration of the made-for Chromebook AMD APUs.

The 14-inch Acer Chromebook Spin 514 offers up the familiar premium chassis we’ve come to know and love from the Spin family and early benchmarks put the Ryzen 3 somewhere in the vicinity of a 10th Gen Intel Core i5. Last month, Acer released one of the first-ever Chromebooks powered by AMD’s latest Ryzen 5000-series processor.
