Today only: Acer’s 2025 model Chromebook Plus 516 laptop with Google AI hits one of its lowest prices at $319

Alongside its now live Father’s Day sale, and as part of its Deals of the Day offers, Best Buy has listed one of Acer’s Chromebook Plus 516 laptops for $319 shipped. This particular model hit the scene as an upgraded version of the Chromebook Plus 516 GE Cloud gaming notebook last year, carrying a $479 price tag, and it has only seen a handful of deals dropping it down from its usual price. Today’s deal delivers a $160 discount to mark one of the lowest prices we have seen this model fetch since its debut. Only once before today have we seen this one go for less, and it’s now within just $20 of that all-time low. Head below for more details.

This Acer Chromebook Plus 516 notebook is an upgraded version of the original Chromebook 516 GE model, and it’s more of a general productivity and student use laptop now instead of focusing on being a cloud gaming device. It’s built around a spacious 16-inch WUXGA display, giving you plenty of screen real estate for web browsing, schoolwork, and media consumption. This configuration is powered by Intel’s Core i3-1315U processor and pairs it with 8GB of LPDDR5 memory and 128GB of UFS storage, making it well-suited for handling day-to-day tasks. Acer also includes Google AI features with this laptop, giving you access to tools like Gemini and other AI capabilities integrated throughout Google’s ecosystem. On the connectivity front, you’re getting Wi-Fi 6E support for reliable wireless performance, along with USB-C and USB-A ports for connecting accessories and peripherals.

Be sure to check out Best Buy’s Father’s Day sale, which is now live at up to $650 off Windows Copilot+ PCs and gaming laptops. Even some of the newer Copilot+ laptops powered by the latest-gen Intel and Snapdragon processors are included in the sale, and you’ll find some of our favorites highlighted right here.
