Deal: Refurbished Acer 13-inch Chromebook for just $208 from eBay ($172 off)
If you’re looking for a perfectly capable computer that won’t break the bank, eBay may have the perfect deal for you. Normally, a refurbished Acer 13.3-inch Chromebook is sold for about $259.99 through eBay, which is already a pretty good deal for the computer. But thanks to Acer’s 20% off sale on eBay, when you add the Chromebook to your cart, the price drops down to just $207.99 before taxes. Not only is that roughly $170 off the original price of this computer, it’s also about $180 less than Amazon’s price for a brand new unit.
The Acer Chromebook sports a 13.3-inch Full HD display, a quad-core 2.1GHz Tegra K1 processor, 4GB of RAM, 32GB of on-board storage and a battery that can last up to 11 hours on a single charge.
Even though this isn’t a brand new laptop, you’re still covered if anything goes wrong. This is a manufacturer refurbished unit, meaning it’s been restored by an Acer-approved vendor. It also comes with a 90-day manufacturer warranty, so you’ll be covered if there’s a problem with the computer.

Acer Aspire One Cloudbook gives you a full Windows laptop for $169
Hey, HP: you’re far from the only one who can play the ridiculously low-cost Windows laptop game. Acer has unveiled the Aspire One Cloudbook 11 and 14, a pair of thin-and-light Windows 10 portables that promise a ‘real’ PC experience even if you’re on a shoestring budget. They respectively cost a mere $169 and $199 in the US (a good $30 less than HP’s Stream 11 and 13), but still manage to pack 1.6GHz Celeron processors, 2GB of RAM, full-size keyboards and expansion that includes USB, HDMI and SD card slots. Neither is going to be a screamer, then, but they may do the job if you’re looking for a back to school system that’s just good enough to handle your class notes and reports. Slideshow-308844
So how did Acer manage to undermine its biggest rival? By cutting a few corners, apparently. The company tells us that the $169 11-inch model has a very modest 16GB of built-in storage (you need to jump to higher-end versions to get 32GB or 64GB). The two Cloudbooks also have shorter battery life than the Stream series (between 6 to 7 hours), and there’s a 480p webcam instead of HP’s “HD” unit — these are not the ideal machines for video calls with your parents. You do get free year-long subscriptions to both Office 365 Personal and 1TB of OneDrive space, though, so you won’t have to pay a lot up front to be productive. If you want to give Acer’s minimalist PC concept a shot, you can get the Cloudbook 11 in August and the Cloudbook 14 in September.

Google Store Back to School promotion begins, save up to $30 on a new Chromebook
Google is getting a head start for the new upcoming school year by launching its back to school promotion on many products in the Google Store. However, it seems like the only new sales we’re seeing are on select Acer Chromebooks.
Chromebooks are phenomenal options for schooling, but unfortunately, the discounts aren’t something to write home about. For instance, the Acer Chromebook 15 now costs $319.99, $30 off the original price tag, the Acer Chromebook 13 costs $229.99, $20 off the original price tag, and so on.
Disappointingly, many of the sales on the Google Store are price cuts we’ve already seen in the past. Many of these supposed price cuts are also available from other retailers like Amazon on a regular basis.
Either way, there’s nothing wrong with saving money, and if you can’t find any of Acer’s Chromebooks on sale somewhere else, you can save yourself some money through the Google Store from now until likely just before school begins. Hopefully we’ll see some better deals and price cuts as time goes on, but it certainly isn’t likely.
On another note, if you’re looking for something a bit heftier, Woot.com almost always has some great sales running on desktops and laptops of all kinds.

You can now buy the Acer Liquid Leap+ fitness tracker in the US for $79
The Liquid Leap+ by Acer is now available in the US. The wearable is not only a fitness tracker, but also adds some smartwatch capabilities. You can do things like control music, receive emails, and get text messages.
Due to less functionality compared to a full fledged smartwatch the battery last quite a while. It is estimated at 120 hours of run time or 240 hours of standby time for a single charge. It is also waterproof with IPX7 certification. It comes in three colors black, green, or pink. The price is $99, but as a launching promotion it is on sale for $79.

New Acer device, ‘S59′, sees its specifications surface online
Specifications for an unannounced Acer phone have surfaced online, showing what looks to be a mid-range device.
According to the GFXBench listing, the device, which is labeled as ‘S59′, comes with Android 5.1 pre-installed and a 5-inch 720p display. The camera, though, looks to be the exciting part. This model comes with a 13MP rear camera capable of shooting 4K video. It also has the same 13MP camera on the front with the same video resolution, making for a great selfie camera in addition to shooting high resolution video. The smartphone will come with 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage and an octa-core 64-bit MediaTek MT6753 processor which provides LTE Cat 4 support, Bluetooth 4.0 and a Mali T720 GPU.
The device should be revealed during IFA 2015 in September.

Acer feels the pain of the PC’s decline
Analysts believe that the PC has had its day in the sun, and now, we’ve got another shred of proof to toss into the dossier. Acer, the world’s fifth-largest PC maker, has revealed that its revenues fell by the better part of 30 percent in the second quarter of the year. The terse announcement wasn’t supported by a full earnings release, but the figures mean that this period has been the company’s smallest quarter since 2006. The spreadsheet may be missing, but Digitimes is reporting that Acer is betting on Chromebooks, 2-in-1 and gaming laptops will restore the firm to profitability.

Gartner’s cabal of sooth-sayers reported that PC shipments in the second three months of the year dropped by nearly 10 percent. Then again, that may not be as much of a cause for despair as you may think, since Windows 10 is launching on July 29th. It’s likely that plenty of buyers have held-off on picking up a new machine until the new OS arrives, but probably not enough to return the industry to its heyday. In addition, that same report believes that Acer’s chunk of the market shrunk by more than 20 percent since 2014 — a year when the firm barely squeaked a profit. It remains to be seen if co-founder Stan Shih’s much-trumpeted rescue attempt was a success or not, but Charles Arthur over at The Overspill doesn’t think it was.

So why not do your eyes a favor and make sure you get one that’s got exactly what you need, whether it’s precise colors, fast response time or just a pleasing design?

Acer rolls out a curved, super-wide display with AMD’s gaming tech
You can get desktop PC displays that are curved, super-wide and gaming-friendly, but all three at once? That’s tricky. Thankfully, Acer thinks it has an answer. The company has just launched the 34-inch XR341CK in the US, giving you a curvy, 21:9 aspect ratio LCD with AMD’s anti-tearing FreeSync tech built-in. So long as you have a fast-enough gaming rig (including newer AMD graphics, if you want FreeSync), you’ll get an extra-immersive canvas for your first-person shooters and racing sims.
You won’t get 4K (this is “just” a 3,440 x 1,440 LCD), but you’ll still find DisplayPort input, Mini DisplayPort, HDMI 2.0 and a USB 3.0 hub. There’s also a 14W speaker system if the screen takes up the free space you’d normally use for audio gear. This monster monitor will cost $1,099 when it ships in July — no small potatoes, but potentially worth it if you’d otherwise get multiple displays to achieve the same all-encompassing effect.
