Lenovo Chromebook Plus 2-in-1

This Lenovo Chromebook Plus provides excellent value for money, especially with $100 off. It packs a 15.3-inch 1920 x 1200 (WUXGA) display, Intel Core Processor N Series CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a fast 128GB UFS storage. It's a great machine for the college student trying to spend less.

Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 714

Simply put, this is one of the best 2-in-1 laptops you can buy! We gave the smaller version of this device an excellent 4-star rating in our Acer Chromebook Spin 514 review, because it performs well in pretty much every category — it runs fast, it has long battery life and it's got a gorgeous display. Sure, it's one of the more expensive Chromebooks out there, but at a discount it's a great buy. You get a 14-inch 1920 x 1200 (WUXGA) touchscreen display, Core Ultra 5-115U CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB UFS storage.

Asus CX34 Chromebook Plus

For a Chromebook, the Asus CX34 is pretty dang powerful, and that’s mostly due to its Intel Core i5-1335U processor. It also has a 14-inch, 1920 x 1080-pixel display, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of UFS storage, which is faster than eMMC storage. The CX34 is pretty stacked in the port department, too, with an HDMI port, two USB-A ports, two USB-C ports, and an audio jack.
