Best Buy is running a 24-hour flash sale that ends at midnight, with discounts across a wide range of products… including one of the best prices I’ve seen for a Chromebook that’s not ancient.
Today you can pick up an Acer Chromebook 311 for just $79. The laptop has an 11.6 inch HD display, a MediaTek MT8183C processor, 4GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. And Google will continue to support the Acer Chromebook 311 with automatic software updates at least until June, 2028.

MT8183C has performance on par with Celeron/Atom N3350, which is e-waste-grade performance. But 4 years of browser updates is nice, and it does get good battery life. If you are happy with browser speed 1/6th that of a modern Alder Lake i3 then this is a good choice.
Another point of context would be iOS devices… this is on par with the iPhone 5s, original iPad Air, and iPad Mini 2 with Apple A7, from 2013.
