Get PCWorld’s high-end Chromebook top pick for $100 off right now

If you’re looking for a Chromebook that’s a touch fancier than your standard fare, you’ve come to the right spot. The Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 514 is PCWorld’s pick for the best high-end Chromebook, and right now it’s on sale for just $599 at Best Buy. That’s $100 off for a model with a high-refresh-rate touchscreen, a 2-in-1 form factor,  and a zippy MediaTek Kompanio Ultra processor.

In our review and testing, MediaTek’s Kompanio Ultra 910 chip made short work of multitasking. The snappy performance is partly thanks to its active cooling fan, which helps the laptop stay cool under load. It’s also a bit bigger than other models with the same hardware, giving it more space to disperse the heat.

The display’s pretty nice, too. It isn’t OLED, but the 1920×1200 resolution makes for a sharp and colorful picture, and it’s protected by Gorilla Glass. The 120Hz refresh rate elevates the display further, making it feel super responsive. Other neat features include punchy audio, long battery life (around 15 hours of real-world use), Wi-Fi 7 connectivity (yay for future-proofing!), and a sturdy chassis.   

If you want a Chromebook that’s fast and polished, the Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 514 is an easy one to recommend. Don’t sleep on this Black Friday deal because it won’t stick around forever!
