SAVE $70: As of June 5, get the Acer Chromebook Plus 516 GE (Intel Core 5, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) for $579. That's a discount of 16%.


Google's newly-released Chromebook Plus line comes with new and improved specs and additional AI features for souped-up takes on the company's classic computers. Just announced last week, the Acer Chromebook Plus 516 GE is essentially the same as one of our favorite gaming laptops, the Acer Chromebook 516 GE, but with a newer processor and a few other tweaks that make it worth picking up as an update. Plus, you can get it on sale for the first time right now.

As of June 5, you can get the Acer Chromebook Plus 516 GE (Intel Core 5, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) for $579. That's $70 off its normal price of $649, and a 16% discount. This is the first time the newly-released computer has seen any sort of sale price, so it's a big deal if you want to buy a new Chromebook.

This version of the Acer Chromebook Plus 516 GE comes with the Intel Core 5 120U processor (upgraded from the 12th-gen Intel Core i5) with 8GB of RAM, a 16-inch 1660p display as well as an RGB keyboard, and 256GB SSD for plenty of space to store all your docs, photos, and more. Plus, this version comes in a new Obsidian Black colorway, all for the same price as the original model.
