You may be surprised to discover that the best-selling entry level laptop on Amazon is not an Apple MacBook or a Samsung Galaxy Book.

Instead the Acer Chromebook Spin 311 has more five star reviews than any other device and it’s currently reduced by 20 percent to just $199.99.

A feature the Spin 311 boasts that a MacBook doesn’t have is a 360 degree hinge that allows you to easily transfer it into a laptop with a keyboard when you need to use it for work or school or prop itself up when you’re watching movies. There’s no need to purchase a separate stand and you can rest it at whatever angle you want.

At first glance it looks and performs like a regular laptop. But when you look closer at the features you’ll see its ultra-lightweight, weighing the same as an A4 sheet of paper.

The screen can fold down flat and back on itself if you want to use it as a tablet and the wide-angle camera makes it perfect for video calls.
