Acer Spin 513 - Link https://www.ebay.com/itm/274884699086

Pretty sweet Chromebook for most. Better performance than Ryzen 3250c Acer 514 deal and miles better than those $100 Chromebooks I see every now and then.

It has 23k Octane. The only downside is the lack of Micro SD and only 4GB RAM. But it's only $160 and it's Chrome OS, not a lot of fo power is required. It should be updated through 2029.

It's super light at only 2.65lbs, convertible and the star of the show is the battery life. It easily lasts about 12 hours on mixed usage. Bonus, it comes with a nice and smooth gorilla glass touchpad.

The price is $158 after the 12% coupon ( it will automatically apply ). And there is an ongoing 5% eBay bucks and Slickdeas 6% Cashback. Which makes it around $140 + tax. Pretty sweet deal!

Warranty:
90 days from Acer and 2 years from eBay/AllState partnership

How is this better than the Ryzen 3250c spin 514?
Battery consumption and overall performance. About 15-20%. Octane on Ryzen was about 19k, this one scored about 23k

Also, the ebay bucks should not be in the title or in the price as 99% of people are not eligible for that. I have had 2 ebay accounts for over 15 years and none of them have ever gotten an ebay bucks offer in the last 2 years.
99%? I have three accounts and all of them qualified. Most people get 5% eBay bucks all the time

Read the comments on doctorofcredit...almost every comment says they were not targeted and most say they never get targeted.

I posted this deal like a week or two ago. It's a great laptop for the price. I currently have 35 tabs and discord open.

The computer lags in between tabs hard but once your in a tab it's smooth sailing.

One other note, YouTube.com does this thing when you're playing a video then switch tabs and come back. The sound plays but the video doesn't.

No that's the one thing it's missing. BTW I have the 513 not the 514 which might have a BLK

You bought the one I posted here, right - from eBay? I was under the impression that it comes with a backlit keyboard. Reviews and Walmart mention it too. Oh well, may have to return it then

Can anyone confirm that this has a backlit keyboard? I'm reading otherwise.

Sadly, no backlit keyboard on this one. Apparently the US version has backlit, yet UK version doesn't. Not sure why that is, but apparently this refurb Spin 513 is the UK version, so no backlight.

"There's no keyboard backlight, though, which is a shame. The US version of the same laptop does appear to have a keyboard backlight, but we don't get one in the UK model." Source: https://www.pocket-lint.com/lapto...513-review

I got one of these from ebay a few months ago - excellent battery life and was pretty good at web browsing and streaming. Mine did have some build quality issues with the touch screen - it would have ghost scrolling if you didn't place the laptop on a hard surface so I ended up returning it

I have the 514 with the 3250C, 513 with the 7C, and ASUS 17" with N4500, and the 7C does not live up to it's performance, or maybe it does, but graphically it's not as smooth, even with Android apps, which I would have expected it to do better with it being a Snapdragon, but the Intel and AMD processors just feel faster and smoother. Supported by the fact that they're twice or more as fast as the 7C on a browser benchmark like Speedometer 2.0. All on the latest beta Chrome OS, so not sure why the 7C sucks IRL.
