Save $200: As of March 16, the Acer Chromebook 516 GE(opens in a new tab) is on sale for $449, down from $649 at Best Buy. That's a savings of 31%.



If there are more games in your backlog than hours in the day, you could probably benefit from a gaming laptop. Take your favorite titles on the go and finish a few missions where you can, or explore a new title when you've got some free time.

Not sure which laptop to start with? The Acer Chromebook 516 GE(opens in a new tab) will treat you right. It's on sale at Best Buy right now for $449, which is $200 off the sticker price of $649. That's a savings of 31%.

This ChromeOS-powered gaming laptop is a powerful option that uses server-based cloud computing to help you enjoy your favorite titles. It comes packing a 12-core Intel Core i5-1240P processor that uses Intel's Iris Xe Graphics as well as 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD to help do the heavy lifting.

Its 16-inch IPS panel offers quite the high resolution for a Chromebook at 2,560 x 1,600 and a 120Hz refresh rate that beats the competition. It also has an RGB keyboard with a sturdy, slick aluminum chassis that feels as premium as it looks.

It's important to note that this Chromebook lacks a touchscreen, and in case it wasn't clear, it's meant mostly for cloud gaming. That means you'll need internet access to get your game on. But if all that fits the bill for you, this is an excellent price for the system. It could be your ticket to getting more gaming in without breaking the bank.
