Chromebook Recommendations? [View all]

Recently received an OS support expiration notification for a chromebook I purchased a year ago.

It was only $140 on amazon. I suspect that this is likely a super old version, but I don't know for sure.

Now I have to spring for a new chromebook, or a laptop and I'm just flummoxed.

Any suggestions from Computer community would be so appreciated.

I picked up an Acer 713 over the weekend krispos42 Mar 2021 #10

Wow! Was that a sale price? Nice specs too for the price no matter. msfiddlestix Mar 2021 #12

It was... $529, I think, with the $100 off. krispos42 Mar 2021 #13

Argh, I'm being unclear! Sorry, sorry... krispos42 Mar 2021 #15
