Like-new factory refurbs were going for $270 a little while ago. It was a no-brainer deal at that price; at this price, there are other options if you're willing to forgo the high refresh screen.

Agreed, but those were not the "Chromebook Plus" units. Not sure how many people that are buying Chromebooks care about the AI features, though.

I missed out on the $450 new 516 GE and started watching for the updated model, so I noticed this sale. Would love an open-box or like-new refurb vs "new."

Chromebook Plus is retroactive on these models. I got the update on mine from that refurb deal.

I snagged mine for 299 the gaming is super mid there's a lot to desire with that aspect. the rest of the performance is great with the hardware and my screen is 1600p.

I didn't know that was a thing. How 'bout that.
Acer Refurb has them for $299. As they say around here "In 4 1"
Thanks for pointing that out. Also need to update my daughter's chromebook, which was on the same list.

Chromebooks get many updates. I am on 125. Valid ones get updated to Chromebook Plus like the one I bought refurb for $279.

It was like new. It is 14" so the higher resolution would not help me. I mostly use it with two external monitors.

I also bought a Flex 5 but it is not a plus. I only paid $120 for it and it has many cycles on the battery it has some defects but works great. like the smallness of it.
