In the mid-range category, two Chromebooks dominate the space. To clarify, we consider devices between $ 300 and $ 649 when we are talking about “mid-range”. The Acer Chromebook Spin 713 is the clear winner in this segment and rightly so. It offers a 10th generation Core i5 with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of NVMe storage. In the respectable second place, the HP Chromebook x360 14c offers premium build quality and the Core i3 with 8 GB of RAM has enough power for most consumers in general.
If the HP price were $ 100 less at launch, it might as well be a contender for first place, but Acer simply outperforms HP’s flagship in many departments. That said, the HP is still a beautiful and capable Chromebook, and when it’s on sale, it’s worth your time and attention. Now it is one of those occasions. Best Buy once again took a big chunk of the retail price of the HP Chromebook x360 14c, making it arguably the best Chrome OS device you can buy for under $ 500. Check out what HP has to offer:
