In fact, Walmart is currently selling the Acer Chromebook 14 for just $139 (opens in new tab) after chopping $160 off its normal price. The retailer is even throwing in a protective sleeve with your purchase. One of the cheapest laptops we’ve seen all year, this Chromebook is a great option if you need to run simple tasks, like browsing the web and checking social feeds and email. In our Acer Chromebook 14 review, we applauded the laptop’s sturdy aluminum chassis, good speaker quality and long battery life. We should note, however, that the laptop we reviewed was slightly different than the model on sale. Incredibly, this $139 version also comes with an all-metal design, making it one of the cheapest aluminum laptops we’ve ever come across. You also get a large, 14-inch display, which is a feature you rarely find on a Chromebook. Given its low-end Intel Atom x5-E8000 processor, you shouldn’t expect the Acer Chromebook 14 to perform anything beyond basic tasks. That being said, a 4.4-star user rating after 90 reviews suggests the laptop has plenty of power for most people. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a cheaper laptop than this $139 Acer Chromebook 14, let alone one made entirely of aluminum. With that said, if you want a laptop that feels premium but doesn’t sell at a premium price, this is the one to buy.
