FYI: the following was based upon my failure to recognize this was a Chromebook. See my post here for notes on this somewhat uniquely positioned premium Chromebook. TLDR: running ChromeOS doesn't necessarily make this a better deal, but does make it one of very few options for a Chromebook shopper with these specific options on their shopping list.
This would have been a real Slickdeal with a quad core CPU. As it stands, this is really the right price as it represents a $100-ish discount on comparable, refurbished 2-in-1 laptops which do have quad core CPUs (check Micro Center).
Good luck!

This is a powerful Chromebook. This is also a $400 Chromebook. You like it and I'm more in the pretty good but maybe not for everybody(?) camp. I don't think that puts us on opposite sides. I don't consider you a competitor, but rather assume that we're all working together to evaluate and promote the best deals (and maybe tamp down some of the more obnoxious shilled deals?).
At the same time, I have found some of your posts less than pleasant. With so many posts and a nice Pro flag on your profile, might I ask that if along with the volume of posts you're contributing to the community you also consider what you're doing to foster the same level of participation and engagement among the other community members?
Good luck!

Octane Score: 55,835
My Flex 3 Celeron 4020 got 13,373
Of course, pricing tends to reflect that horsepower number well. Most every $100 Chromebook deal has been a MediaTek model. The older Atom-based models then fill that space in the $100-$200 range. After that the Jasper Lake and Snapdragon 7c models appear. And lastly, as with this listing, all the i-series CPU models start populating the lineup.
Good luck!

Been looking for 8GB DDR, NVME and I3. This has all of that and HDMI 2.0
I may finally get my 55" TV to run 4k @ 60hz.
It is 4.3 pounds and rather thick but I can live with that. Mostly it will stand on a stand.
When this first popped up a couple of weeks ago I suggested everyone buy open box Chromebooks, since there aren't really anything to go wrong with them. The Physical part is easy to verify and reject if it is something other than what you are willing to accept. Unfortunately, I didn't secure an open box before they all got sucked up in my area.

Quite the deal. I wanted it shipped. Well worth the $326.99 no sales tax here either. That was part of it those were in high tax areas.
- A 15.6" 1080p screen in a convertible form factor
- An Intel i-series CPU (not an ARM like from MediaTek or Qualcomm; not an Intel Atom
If you're buying this Chromebook solely as a convertible 15.6" model then you're probably all set because, as common as convertible Chromebooks are, there are few to none in this size! On top of that, the larger Chromebooks often command a price premium as manufacturers typically churn out low-cost 11.6" models in volume.If you're simply seeking a large 15.6" touch screen model you could easily find them for almost half the price. Target has the Acer CB315-3HT-C16B under DPCI 056-01-0093 for $220. That model features a much less powerful Intel N4000 CPU (an Atom-based, efficiency-oriented CPU), However, that CPU is also a great option for a large swath of Chromebooks users, including power users who utilize Android and Linux on their devices (including me!).
I wouldn't say that the CPU in this Chromebook justifies the price premium alone, but rather that this CPU is a significant value-add to the rather unique form factor of this device.
Good luck!

You compare this to trash. Celeron are you out of your mind. 4GB DDR. I am constantly using about 6GB.
You can always spend less for less. So what. Not all of us want less.
I like the size on my stand and flipping it brings the screen closer. I generally use a monitor and a keyboard and mouse anyway but nice to be able to use it for travel as well.
Why do you go to sales just to try to trash them?
