The new Acer Spin 3 convertible laptop with an Intel Whiskey Lake processor is coming this summer. But Newegg is currently running a sale on last year’s model, which means that for $520 you can pick up a 3.8 pound convertible tablet-style notebook with a 14 inch, 1920 x 1080 pixel touchscreen display, an Intel Core i5-8250U processor, 8GB of RAM and a 1TB hard drive.
It’s not the thinnest or lightest convertible around, but it offers decent specs for the price.
Here are some of the day’s best deals.

DO NOT BUY THAT ASUS VIVIBOOK FLIP TP202NA!! BOYCOTT ASUS!
I bought that 11.6″ ASUS VivoBook Flip 12 and despite being told I could, after weeks of fighting with ASUS Customer “Support”, ASUS finally admitted the UEFI BIOS was locked for Microsoft Windows ONLY. That’s why I could not install Linux – no matter what I tried. Don’t believe me? Here is the specific machine I had:
