While Lenovo might've beaten Acer to the punch by releasing a Kompanio Ultra-powered Chromebook, the Chromebook Plus Spin 514 has one key feature that Lenovo's offering doesn't. Instead of sticking to the traditional laptop form factor, Acer's latest Chromebook sports a convertible design, making it much more versatile. This makes for a compelling reason to choose the Spin 514, and now, it's on sale for $100 off over at Best Buy.

This deal is available as part of Best Buy's early Black Friday promotion, of which we've already seen quite a few Chromebooks discounted. But saving $100 on the Spin 514 is particularly exciting, not just because it's one of Acer's latest offerings, but also because it's the first time that this Chromebook has gone on sale.

For many, the ideal Chromebook provides all-day battery life, a bright and vibrant screen, and a convertible design, all while being powerful enough to handle a multitude of tasks. The Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 514 checks pretty much all of the boxes here, and is currently on sale for $100 off.

✅Recommended if: You're in the market for a Chromebook that is both powerful and offers truly all-day battery life, while offering the added benefit of being a convertible.

❌Skip this deal if: You want a Chromebook that features a better selection of ports, such as an HDMI port, without needing to rely on external solutions.

Part of what makes this Chromebook special is that it's powered by the Kompanio Ultra processor, one of the best chips we've seen come from MediaTek. It basically provides the "dream" scenario for potential Chromebook buyers, as this chip is powerful enough to handle heavy multi-tasking, along with supporting more on-device AI features and functionality.

At the same time, Acer understands how important versatility is when it comes to getting a new Chromebook, and the Spin 514 delivers here, too. The convertible design lets you use this Chromebook in a variety of different ways, such as folding the screen back and using your favorite USI pen to take notes, draw, or even just play games without the keyboard getting in the way.

Many Chromebooks manage to check off those two boxes, but are often at the mercy of subpar or disappointing battery life. That's not an issue with the Spin 514, as this beast is rated to last for up to a whopping 17 hours of battery life on a single charge. It doesn't get much better than that.
