Acer – Chromebook 516 GE Cloud Gaming Laptop – 16″

Acer – Chromebook 516 GE Cloud Gaming Laptop – 16″ 2560×1600 120Hz – Intel Core i5-1240P – 8GB RAM – 256GB SSD – RGB KB – Titanium Gray
I like this Chromebook so far. Keyboard has a nice feel to it, easy to type. I like the backlit display when the room is dark. Display is good sized at 16″. 120hz refresh seems to make smooth difference when scrolling the browser. Refresh rate certainly makes a difference for gaming. This computer does have a touch screen, but I don’t need one. I have an iPad if I want that. 16″ screen makes it a bit bulkier, but machine doesn’t feel very heavy. It would fit in a backpack easily. Case feels solid. Plenty of ports on the sides.

Chromebook Plus devices – specifically the newer, branded ones – are an easy answer to the common question: which Chromebook should I buy?

I’ve made no bones about it: the Acer Chromebook 516 GE is my absolute go-to device when I need a Chromebook I can really rely on. In so many circumstances it has been the best choice for me to keep around in my bookbag, and I can think of no device that makes me more excited to see go on sale.

Since the conclusion of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, the Chromebook deals have been a bit sparse. The massive savings flood we saw for a few weeks was immediately turned down to a trickle, but we fully expected some great deals to return in the last few weeks of the year. And today, we have one of the best.

The 16-inch Lenovo Gaming Chromebook is finally back in stock and affordable – By Robby Payne chromeunboxed.com

This isn’t a deal per se, but the Lenovo Gaming Chromebook that has been tough to come by for quite some time is finally back in stock at Walmart, and the configuration on offer is a bit different than what we had last year when this Chromebook launched. Instead of the Core i5 with 256GB of storage, this alternate version comes with the still-capable Core i3-1215U, 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.

Don’t miss the Nest Hub and Nest Hub Max for up to $100 off – By Robby Payne chromeunboxed.com

At the start of November, the Nest Hub and Nest Hub Max dropped down to some pretty low prices. Those deals lasted for a few days and we’ve not seen much motion in that segment since. However, as of earlier this week, it seems both the Nest Hub and Nest Hub Max prices are once again being drastically reduced as we enter into the holiday shopping season.

Chromebook Plus model going back on sale

At least one new Chromebook Plus model is finally going back on sale – By Robby Payne chrome unboxed.com
It’s been a bit of a dry spell for new, branded Chromebook Plus device deals. Frankly, I was a bit shocked when their prices dropped the first time around as I expected both manufacturers and retailers would use the first few weeks of general availability to get the overlapping, non-branded Chromebook Plus models off the shelves.
