There is not much bad about this, other than two years old, It is very fast and newer ones would not be much faster. It has 8 GB DDR so enough for most people. I do not like that it is eMMc not upgradable although it does have a micro SD slot.

It is rare to find 8GB DDR and a decent processor at this price.

Here. You're welcome Smilie.

3x the CPU speed, better specs and already runs windows for 229. Certified refurb.

"Not bad" in concept only; and your "...very fast [etc., etc.]... ."?!?! The cpu is a slug!
CpuBenchmark Passmarks:
  • All threads: 3208 (Yikes!)
  • Single thread: 1908 (Sorta decent... for today's apps.)
Combine that with eMMC storage snail-pace?! Fuggedaboudit.

For those needing a laptop right now for most basic needs, at minimal price, and who still think 2-in-1's have a wow factor, this will do (for now). However, even running ChromeOS, this laptop's usefulness may not outlast its 2yr warranty.

I have been purchasing laptops for work recently. I picked up several ~3 year old Thinkpads, with good processors, in great condition, 1080p screens, for about $250 each.

I don't think this is a good value.

While the CPU maybe not be quite as up to snuff against a 13gen i3 it certainly is now slouch when compared to other processors in a value priced Chromebooks. For me it's the price point and specs when compared with other chromebooks at the $200 range. I would take this all day long against any of the Chromebooks in this price range with the Intel Celerons.

In for one as my old Acer 311 with 4gb and a Celeron is quite long in the tooth.

It might be just me, but of all the electronics I ever bought a chromebook was probably the most disappointing. I would much rather have a windows laptop.

Somebody post this one. I feel like it's a really good deal but don't feel like posting.
Acer Aspire 14" 8gb ram Windows 11 10hrs batt life,i3-N305, Certified Refurbished, Direct from Acer, $229

THe I3-N305 beats this CPU on Passmark by about 3x as fast and has windows(if that's what you want).

Someone posted the big brother but the 14" is about $40cheaper.

Just got mine today.
Little disappointed in the packaging. Brown box, bubble wrap, power adapter.
The device itself looks new, Pretty impressive so far. Got Linux apps setup to run in chrome os, pretty easily Installed WINE, GIMP, a few other small linux apps. So far, seems very snappy and responsive. Both ChromeOS apps and the linux apps.
Oh also i had to go through a few chromeOS updates and after everytihng applied this officially supports and installed Chrome PLUS. Which is the one thing i wanted to be sure about.

I think i'm going to keep it. Especially at $215 after tax/shipping/discount If you're looking for a well spec'd crhomebook, that is Chromebook Plus compliant, and well built with touch screen. look no further.

Why does the listing not give the model number? I assume this is the CP514-1H. The listings mention nothing about a touch screen. Screen is 250 nits? How does it look? That's pretty low brightness.

8% off appears to be dead? Are others still getting that?
