'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?
ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.
When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.
ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form.

If you need to work on the go, you might want to consider an ultra-lightweight 2-in-1 laptop that can transform into a tablet. The only problem is that laptops tend to be a little pricey. But now, you can get an ultra-portable notebook at a considerable discount with the Acer 11.6-inch 2-in-1 Chromebook.
The 11.6-inch LCD touchscreen has a 1366 x 768 resolution paired with an Intel HD graphics processor to provide a smooth web-based media experience. This 2015 model also has a speedy 1.6 GHz quad-core Intel Celeron N3150 processor.
This Chromebook contains 4GB of memory and 32GB of fast SSD storage. That might not seem like much, but by ditching the programs and operating systems that hog space and memory it's more than enough for light workloads. This notebook also has an SD memory card slot should you need extra storage space. A webcam, speakers, and a mic are built-in, plus you get an HDMI port, a USB 2.0 port, and a USB 3.0.
ChromeOS loads in mere seconds, has virus protection, and receives automatic updates. In addition, you can use all of the Google apps, converting Microsoft Office files into Google Docs, Slides, and Sheets where they can be downloaded and edited.
Don't pass up this chance to have an ultra-portable convertible laptop that you can take anywhere. Get the Acer 11.6-inch 2-in-1 Chromebook for only $133.99 -- that's over 50% off.
