I picked one of these up a month ago as an open box (satisfactory) for ~$268

I absolutely LOVE this laptop!
The screen is excellent
Battery life is Litterally Tripple my Inspiron 7373.
Backlit Keyboard feels nicer than my inspiron

The laptop didn't come with books or a charger but I already had a couple.

Are chromebooks worth this price tag? I thought this is a windows laptop price range. We have seen i3 or i5 laptops in this price range. Can someone with experience in chromebooks explain can they replace your laptop?
I use my laptop as a browser mainly.

Plus all shows are on netflx/hulu, music is spotify. Chromebooks are usually lighter as well and 2in1. I use android so my photos are at google photos, files at gdrive.

A good windows ultrabook goes for 800++, a premium chromebook is like 600, ans this is on sale at 425

I think so, personally, though it comes down to what you value and your use case. In terms of hardware, you could probably find a similarly specced machine in terms of CPU and RAM, you'll be hard-pressed to find a screen of this resolution and quality at this price on other laptops. This Chromebook also has an NVME drive, which I don't think you see at this price range (though Best Buy doesn't appear to mention it in the specs, which is kind of terrible on their part).

To me, this is the toughest part of recommending a Chromebook. A lot of the time, there's simply one or two things a person wants or needs a native Windows app if they're asking this question. I will happily recommend a Chromebook as a person's 2nd computer (e.g. they have a desktop at home and want something simple, fast, and portable).

If you were to buy this, I think you'd be very happy with the build quality, form factor, and speed of the device. The simplicity of ChromeOS can be a double-edged sword for some. I think it's great, but again, some people want a fuller OS experience. What I can't answer is if there's a specific use case where you may run into an issue due to not having a specific Windows application.

Overall, this is a very good price on a well-regarded device. If I were in the market, I'd consider it.

Costco Flex 5 has known hinge problems. Ours has it and Lenovo refuses to fix it. Trying to keep it going until Lenovo warranty is up in another 7 months and I can try Costco's warranty.

Check Lenovo and reddit forums on the Flex 5 hinge system. Not a good design!

We bought the Acer Spin to replace it on a previous deal and it's been great so far.

... snipped ...
I have an unboxed Costco Flex 5 from their deal back in July. I'm on the fence about whether or not to keep it because of the hinge issue.

Among the Flex 5 reviews at Costco was one from a guy who already had one whose right hinge had broken and shattered the screen. He said Lenovo told him that was not covered under warranty because it was misuse of the product. And apparently because Lenovo wouldn't cover it Costco also would not cover it.

I have a feeling mine is going back to Costco. And now I'm on the fence with this one.

Is this the same one that was $395 on eBay as certified refurbished?
Found the answer - yes. Here is a link to the eBay deal at $395.90 for a Refurbished with 2 year warranty - https://slickdeals.net/f/15216805-acer-spin-713-touchscreen-chromebook-recertified-i5-10210u-13-5-2256x1504-8gb-ram-128gb-ssd-395-59-at-ebay

I think so, this is a full 2n1 and folds to a tablet. It's kind of a bulky tablet IMO

For the 180 degree fold, I'm not sure if it's flat all the way through the bending process (might need to find a video of the bend). I had it in the past and used it in laptop, tablet, and tent mode just fine.

I think so. Replacing you windows/Mac may be another question.

For those wondering if you like Chrome OS this might not be the machine to try it on, but we pretty much only use Chromebooks at home, while having Windows and Mac at work. Pretty much all the stuff we do is in the web, and Chrome also has Android and Linux support, and this i5 model technically has parallels support.

This is a great machine, besides the terrible speakers, and 50/50 metal:plastic build. I also didn't care for the battery life (6 hours SoT refurb) and "downgraded" to a Pixelbook Go for the speakers, battery, and build. This machine has a better keyboard, great 3:2 screen, and is blazing fast. Great productivity but only so-so for media consumption.

I purchased via the $395-ebay-refurb deal. I really love the Chromebook & it has the appearance of a new item... but gotta say I'm still bummed that it's now available New for basically the same price...

What would my fellow SD'ers do if you were me?
