    Retail links: Amazon doesn't seem to be the best price for this so check elsewhere:

     

    Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Convertible-Fingerprint-Rechargeable-SP314-54N-50W3/dp/B0866PDL8W/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=SP314-54N&qid=1595619573&sr=8-1As an Amazon Associate Giz Wiz Biz earns from qualifying Amazon purchases. You pay no more. But Walmart beats this Amazon price.

     

    Walmart was less $ for better features: https://tinyurl.com/TGW-Walmart-Acer2020Spin3  (I have no association with Walmart, I just think it's a way better price than Amazon.)

     

    It's also at Costco and other retailers.
