No need to be rude. I'm getting this for someone else, and I'm not very familiar with Chromebooks in general.
I got this last time when it was on sale. It has a web cam and a card slot.
Yes they can.

This is 100% incorrect.

I own this model and the micro SD slot is to the left of the headphone/microphone jack on the left hand side.

Check the pictures here:
https://laptopmedia.com/laptop-sp...3-2w-38p1/

That is for the CP713=2W-38P1 not the CP713-2W=3311 that Best Buy is selling. It's possible the units being shipped are a different model, but we'll have to wait and see.

PSA: I think any CP713-2W-XXXX models are from 2020 while the CP713-3W-XXXX models are the 2021 version. The differences are probably minor, but knowing that should help you compare this to what you find elsewhere.

Seems a full UEFI is supported. Acer Chromebook Spin 713 (CP713-2W) KLED using CR50 firmware. This will prevent ChromeOS from being reloaded. I don't know what this specific model uses to write protect the firmware - my very old Acer had a write protect screw that had to be removed with a scratch-off area around the screw to make the electrical connection to allow writing to the firmware.

If these support CCD then you can use a special cable to enable writing. Otherwise you have to turn a screw on the motherboard. I believe the screw mechanism is required by Google for all Chromebooks. Lots of different Acer models appear to have CCD support, including a CP713-3W model, so I'm hoping it works and the CP713-2W is just an omission. See here: https://chromium.googlesource.com...ocs/ccd.md

This deal has popped up several times over the past month so it's likely.

Quote from LuisR2494 :
That's my point, this is an excellent deal compared to the newer model. Is the new one worth two of these? Yes and no depending of the situation, the $529 is an excellent choice if you need to do more work since is better equipped, no it's not worth 2 of these if $279 was the regular price but it is not.
Yes I got the ASUA SX5 for $326 Open Box like new for $326 It has 8GB DDR4X and 128GB NVME I could upgrade Well worth more bur frustrating how much they charge for another 4GB DDR. Frustrating how they seldom make these upgradable.

A micro SD card slot is present, but I use a low profile USB 3.1 drive. It's much faster.
SD slots tend to be USB2 only and share the same USB internals as any webcam and the touchpad. Under Linux, the lsusb -t command can show the bus used.
I put microSD storage into a very fast Kingston USB3.1 adapter. The new adapter doesn't get burning hot like the older adapters did. My desktops don't have SD slots.

Let me know if it works. I got one of those SparkFun CCD cables, and this might be my chance to finally use it. You going Arch, Ubuntu, Gallium, or what?

Thank you yoFu. After reading some of the other comments, it looks like it might not be worth the hassle to install Linux on this particular chromebook.

In 2011 and 2015, I was using chromebooks as cheap computers running Linux. In 2018, enough cheap normal laptops became available that finding a powerful, full of RAM, replaceable storage, laptop used on eBay with excellent any-OS support, became easy. I got an Asus Core i5-8250U w/ 8G and 1TB HDD for $305. Swapped out the 1TB HDD for a 500G SSD and have been using it ever since.
Cheap chromebooks have 4G of RAM or less, which is just a little too tight for most needs.
Chromebooks have that terrible keyboard layout. Whowever came up with that needs ... well ... some pain applied. Is saving 6 keys really THAT important? No F11, F12, Bckspc are the main issues for me - At least they swapped the CAPS lock for something else, but removed the right-side alt/cntl. It is these little things that matter to me after the initial (this is ok) feelings.
Both my chromebooks had short support periods ... not as short as my Nexus phone, but it really turned me off from giving google any money.
The chromeOS support team forum was next to useless. Asking a question there always came back as either "not supported" or "powerwash" for the answers - then they'd close the thread. Only the person asking the question should be allowed to decide the best answer and close an active thread. I find it offensive. Another negative experience with Google. I get the forum people are all volunteers. I'd create a new thread and say the other thread was prematurely closed. Seems they didn't actually understand the question ... then closed it again.

I understand that for many people, chromeos is exactly what they need. It is a great way for non-technical people to have enough of a computer, be able to get online, share files through google webapps and communicate with friends and family, while having all their trivial data pushed to the cloud. I think ChromeOS is the single most secure, networked, OS in the world today. No privacy, but highly secure. Nobody will be doing heavy video editing on a chromebook, but I was running OBS to capture multiple audio inputs, 1080p video stream and presentation video capture at conferences. It wasn't an el-cheapo chromebook, but a $450+ version - still with just 4G of RAM. Besides the RAM limits, I loved that system.

All those chromebooks have died for various reasons, while a 2011 Dell 15inch laptop has been plugging away all this time.

Just learned about a new laptop vendor https://frame.work/ [frame.work] that lets us pick the external connectors used. They make only $800+ laptops, but each can be configured with the ports as we like, where we like them. Core i5 and Core i7 10th gen CPUs. 8 - 64G of RAM. Not the cheapest, but they are thin and light and have hidef (above 1080p) screens. Over a decade, for someone like me, the annual cost of a $900 laptop isn't really THAT high. It is the hassle factor of searching for a new, light, laptop that costs me money/time. Oh ... and I think the keyboard has https://frame.work/blog/the-keyboard easy fix/replace features, unlike most other thin laptops. Replacement is from the top - no need to remove the entire internal components. Yippy! The "Stealth Keyboard" looks fantastic to me. Imagine handing your laptop with that to someone who isn't a touch typist? No labels on any keys.
