The Acer Chromebook 512 laptop runs on Chrome OS, a Google-based operating system that is known for keeping viruses at bay, offering decent battery runtimes due to its lightweight processes, and not requiring high-end hardware because of its reliance on the cloud. As such, if you simply intend to browse the web and use the Google ecosystem (e.g. Google Docs, Sheets and Slides), you’ll be just fine with its Intel Celeron N4020 CPU, 4GB of RAM, and 32GB of eMMC storage. As mentioned, because many of your files will be stored on the cloud, you don’t need as much local storage (you’ll get 100GB of Google Drive space), so 32GB should be sufficient for web surfing, editing and creating docs, and streaming. It also has a 12-inch, HD+ (1366 x 912) widescreen, ComfyView, LED-backlit IPS display. And if you need to do any video conferencing, it comes with an HD webcam (1280 x 720) that supports HDR (high dynamic range). Now at its lowest price yet, the Acer Chromebook 512 is one of the best (and cheapest) Chromebooks you can get right now.
