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.

I am really enjoying my Acer Chromebook 715. While I missed the lowest price of the season, I still managed to pick it up well below the current going rate. Since then, the price has climbed to well over $400, at least for the model that I have with the backlit keyboard, Intel Core i3 8th generation processor and 4GB RAM. I think the going rate for a similar model is now between $479-499. I believe that the original price for this model was $449, and it briefly went down close to $300, but only for 1-2 days, then was @ $349 until the current spike during high volume holiday buying season.
I still recommend this model, but look for prices around $350; otherwise I'd either wait or look for a similar model with a better deal.
