One performance setting I'd point out for buyers of a ChromeOS device with a core-series CPU like the i3 in this model or the i5 in the Acer 516 is that ChromeOS turns off HyperThreading by default as a security feature. Of course, this feature can be re-enabled:

Good luck!

Please consider updating the listing to note that this is being sold by the Official Acer Recertified Store (as opposed to some random 3rd party seller).

Also consider updating the title and listing to denote that this model should support the requirements of the Chromebook Plus [google.com] eligibility.

Automatic Update Expiration date for this model (CB515-2H) is June 2032 [google.com].

Though personally I'd prefer a chromebook model with a touchscreen (for more natural support and operation of Android apps), this is an amazing price for a great student/producivity chromebook model. A full core-series CPU (i.e. an i3 vs. an Atom-based CPU), 8GB of RAM and a 15.6" 1080p screen are all items which typically command a premium in a the chromebook space.

Good luck!
Jon
If there is any ding in this listing, I would highlight that refurbished models sold through the Acer ebay store have an Allstate 3rd party warranty rather than a manufacturer warranty.

Good luck!
Jon

Edit: so apparently this uses UFs instead of emmc and is a chromebook plus model. The main differences will be the screen and battery life. The 516 GE has a nicer screen/brightness while this has a better battery life

I think they are offloading these for the simple fact it doesn't say Chromebook Plus on it. While they are identical to the ones that do, that lack of branding is an issue when trying to sell em.

Depends upon your use case. For some users the screen alone would justify the additional spend. A certain niche of ChromeOS power users would also appreciate the extra horsepower of the CPU.

However, for typical day-to-day chromebook operation (e.g. - basic browsing and web apps) either device borders on overkill(!). Of course, at such competitive prices to lesser models that may not be an issue. Put another way, getting more for bang for your $200 is tough but unfortunately you'd likely get a LOT less chromebook for your money if you spend less.

Consider that this model was well-reviewed [pcmag.com] even at it's original $400 MSRP.

Good luck!
Jon

If chromebooks had better android app support i would consider one. Sad google makes android but cant optimize its apps on their own platform.

By referring to the MPN (NX.KPBAA.001) and Model (CB515-2H-31NY), this is actually marketed as Chromebook Plus 515 by Acer [acer.com].

This is a very good (and new low) price for Chromebook with such a capable specs like this.
The only drawback is the non-touch display (for me), and the non-backlit keyboard (for some others). The display is a little bit too dim at only 250nits.

Good price for a capable chromebook. I would be more willing to buy if it has hdmi and usb-c. Most chromebooks do not have it.
