In the middle class category, two Chromebooks dominate the space. By way of explanation, we consider devices between $ 300 and $ 649 to speak of ‘mid-range’. The Acer Chromebook Spin 713 is the real winner in the segment and rightly so. It offers a tenth generation Core i5 with 8 GB RAM and 128 GB NVMe storage. In the respected second place, the HP Chromebook x360 14c offers excellent build quality and the Core i3 with 8 GB of RAM boasts enough horsepower for most general consumers.
If HP had cost less with the $ 100 launch, it could very well have been a rival for first place, but the Acer simply surpasses HP’s flagship in too many departments. That said, the HP is still a beautiful and capable Chromebook and if it’s for sale, it’s worth your time and attention. Right now, this is one of the opportunities. Best Buy has once again kicked off much of the retail price of the HP Chromebook x360 14c, making it arguably the best Chrome OS device you can buy for under $ 500. See what HP has to offer:
