As part of the Amazon Cyber Monday deals currently out there, you can buy an Acer Chromebook for $65 off the usual price right now at Amazon making it a great budget buy if you simply need a cheap productivity-based laptop.

With a normal list price of $365, this Acer Chromebook 514 is down to just $300, saving you 18% on the usual price which works out at $65 off. That’s a big discount on an already well-priced Chromebook with plenty about it to appeal to those looking for something to use working from home or when studying.

In exchange for your $300, you get a Celeron Dual-Core processor, 4GB of memory, 32GB of eMMC storage, and a 14-inch full HD widescreen LED-backlit touchscreen display. A backlit display is always a great way to get the most out of your images and that’s just the start of the classiness emanating from this well-priced Chromebook.

While some Chromebooks look a little cheap or tacky, this Acer Chromebook looks pretty smart, even compared to the best Chromebooks out there right now. As always, you’re restricted to running Chrome OS but there are plenty of apps to download from the Google Play Store and you can use the Cloud to store all your files. The beauty behind this Acer Chromebook and other Chromebooks is the ability to be so flexible with where your files go, allowing you to focus on work rather than maintaining your system.

With a large trackpad, comfortable keyboard, and a delightfully crisp display, there’s a lot to like here and that goes even more so when you’re saving $65 on the usual price. You need to be fast though. This is an Amazon Lightning deal so once it’s gone, it’s gone.

If you’d prefer the flexibility of a ‘full’ laptop, we have plenty of great Cyber Monday laptop deals for you, focused on the very best offers out there right now.

Lenovo’s next ThinkCenter desktop is ready to hit the shelves, but the price will make you blink twice

The ThinkCentre X is finally heading to the US with up to 256GB RAM, dual RTX 5060 Ti GPUs, and a price tag that rivals a used car.

If the phrase "future-proof desktop" means never worrying about running out of RAM again, Lenovo may have just built the ultimate machine. The company is preparing to launch its new ThinkCentre X workstation desktop in the US after making it available in several international markets. Built for AI workloads, professional content creation, and demanding enterprise applications, the desktop can be configured with up to 256GB of DDR5 memory, Intel's latest Core Ultra 9 processor, and support for dual GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB GPUs.

A metallic Hall effect keyboard and a 59g mouse are Lenovo’s latest upgrades for snazzy gaming setups

The Legion R7 RT75 keyboard and Y7MG mouse bring 8K polling to both sides of your gaming setup

Computer, Computer Hardware, Computer Keyboard

Magnetic gaming keyboards and lightweight mice are hardly unusual anymore, but Lenovo is trying to push both ideas a little further with its latest Legion peripherals. The new lineup includes the Legion R7 RT75 keyboard and Legion Y7MG mouse, and both support an 8,000Hz polling rate for players who want every input delivered to their PC as quickly as possible.

Of course, Lenovo has styled these peripherals to be as bold and eye-catching as possible without getting in the way of practicality. The keyboard has a hefty metallic design with translucent keycaps and RGB lighting. Compared to that, the mouse is more tame and traditional in design, but it also has an RGB strip that appears to belong on an alien spaceship. (via NotebookCheck)

Shopping for back-to-school? These are the budget laptops I’d actually recommend

From a $359 Chromebook to the cheapest way into macOS, these are the budget picks worth your money.

Computer, Electronics, Laptop

The back-to-school season often turns into a laptop, especially the budget ones that aren't too heavy on your wallet. Due to the ongoing memory crisis, most manufacturers have already bumped up their laptop prices, including Apple. However, that doesn't mean that I won't help you get a new machine. So, for this one, I spent time digging through spec sheets, customer ratings, and price tags, finding devices that don't just look cheap in an Amazon listing, but actually hold up.

From a flexible touchscreen Chromebook to the least expensive way into macOS, these six laptops balance price and performance well. I'd hand any one of them to a student heading back to campus this fall, depending on what they need and what their priorities are.
