First up, let’s pause for a second and consider for a second that you can now buy a brand new, real laptop (well, real, unless you believe in Microsoft’s defunct Scroogled campaign) for $129. We live amazing times…

Back to the matter at hand: Best Buy is offering the moonstone white Acer’s 11.6-inch Chromebook (CB3-111-C8UB) for $129 today and tomorrow, which is $70 off its list price and $50 lower than on Amazon. If you’re looking for a dirt cheap computing device and are fine with the (ever smaller) constraints of Chrome OS, this is a real bargain for you.

Specs include a 1366 x 768 screen, an Intel Celeron N2830 processor clocked at 2.16GHz, Intel HD graphics, 16GB of storage, 2GB of RAM, Bluetooth 4, and HDMI out. Yes, this is pretty barebones, but for some types of users, barebones is all they need. The device weighs 2.7 pounds.
