On Sunday, November 22, 2020 I ordered an Acer Chromebook 715 after months of reviewing various Chromebook models, prices, and reviews.
The model I ordered was the
Acer Chromebook 715, Intel Core i3-8130U, 15.6" Full-HD 1080p screen, 4GB DDR4, 128GB eMMC - CB715-1W-35ZK
At the time I ordered, the sale price was $349. The lowest price I've seen was briefly $329 and the current price now has risen to $479.99, the highest price I've seen for this model since my research began.
In the reviews at https://chromeunboxed.com/reviews/ this system has received positive reviews as a good system, and at the lower prices one of the best values in the $300-500 price range.
