As a teacher, I see Chromebooks all the time. My school put a cart of them in my classroom over five years ago, and the Acer Chromebook Spin 312 is a great example of how much they have changed for the better over a short time.
What the Acer Chromebook Spin 312 offers in terms of hardware and features is balanced nicely against its price of $450, and that's when it's not on sale. While it does stick you with a mediocre keyboard and audio, its sturdy build and smooth trackpad make traveling and browsing a breeze.
