Chrome OS has quickly become one of the most widely used computer operating systems in the world. And there's no question that this tremendous feat is due in no small part to the market being flooded with ultra-cheap Chromebook laptops. That said, Chrome-powered PCs can also be surprisingly powerful if you pick up a mid-range or high-end machine. For a fraction of the cost of comparable computers that run Windows or macOS, the Chrome platform delivers unmatched speed and simplicity.
The problem is that people often choose Chromebooks due at least in part to their low prices, so mid-range and higher-end models can be overlooked. That's why people tend to seize the moment when an opportunity arises to buy a pricier Chromebook model at a deep discount. If you've been waiting for the perfect Chromebook deal to pounce on, we've got great news. Amazon is currently offering the $500 Acer Chromebook Spin 311 convertible touchscreen laptop at a huge discount that slashes almost 50% off the retail price. The bargain gives shoppers an amazing opportunity to score this high-end model at a mid-range price point.

Google's Chrome OS desktop operating system has followed the same path as Android in many ways.
Android, as you well know, is currently the most popular mobile platform on the planet. Android devices now span a wide range of entry-level, mid-range, and high-end devices, but the mobile platform was initially able to conquer the global market thanks to affordable entry-level and mid-range devices. This gave people a terrific low-cost alternative to Apple's pricey iPhones, and the rest is history. You can find tons of wonderfully fast and powerful high-end Android devices out there, some of which sell by the millions.
As many of our readers know, the Chromebook market has followed a similar progression. Google's Chrome OS vendor partners initially flooded the market with dirt-cheap Chromebook laptops that quickly became the notebook computers of choice in the education market. Now, there are tons of terrific Chromebook models across all price points — and today, one of our favorite models is on sale with a huge discount at Amazon.
