As far as Chromebooks go, the Acer Chromebook 11 CB3-131-C3SZ is a cheap, reliable and surprisingly good device to consider buying. This version is the updated 2016 edition of the popular CB3-131 series from Acer. Considering the low price (sub $200 at the time of this review), I want to emphasize this miniature laptop does have certain limitations. I will expand a bit on this later.

Toshiba Satellite C55-B5298
The Toshiba Satellite C55-B5298, an entry level laptop that was launched in 2014 still enjoys decent reviews this day.
