eBay is running some killer deals right now with unbeatable prices on refurbished laptops, like this Chromebook for just over a hundred bucks. But if you prefer Windows, you can get an equally amazing deal from Acer, whose official eBay account is selling an AMD-powered touchscreen laptop with 16GB of RAM for just $271.99.
The Acer Aspire 3 offers a 15.6-inch 1080p touchscreen, a mid-range AMD Ryzen 5 7520U quad-core processor, 16GB of RAM (which is as low as I would go for Windows 11 these days), and a roomy 1TB SSD. Those specs are hard to find on any Windows laptop under $500 right now, but Acer is selling a refurbished one for $339.99 — and with a 20 percent discount with code PREZ20, you can get it for even less.
PCWorld reviewed a similar model of this laptop back in 2023. That model’s specs were different, but appears to be the same chassis. It was already a good pick at that $330 price, and that was with less RAM and storage and lacking a touchscreen. You can read the full review here.
While this one on sale is a refurbished model, Acer did the refurbishing and even bundles the laptop with a two-year Allstate warranty. That’s about as good as it gets for consumer electronics in less-than-new condition, and it’s kibble for the penny-pincher. I’ll also point out that this model can be upgraded with even more RAM and storage if you’re so inclined (which isn’t a given with laptops these days).
Acer has already sold over a thousand of these refurbished laptops during this sale, and the PREZ20 coupon code is only good ’til Monday. There’s no telling how long the stock will hold out. If you’re in the market for a fantastic deal on a budget laptop, I’d snag one of these ASAP.
