Just picked up the new Acer Spin 713 with the new Evo 11th gen I5 and the upgraded graphics. It's on sale at bestbuy down from $699 to like (i cant remember exactly) maybe $519? With ChromeOS, the AppImage artix launcher file isnt executable just because you download it and move it to your linux files. Theres a couple of commands you must run in the Terminal App to make it run. And I would also add a file app, such as Nautilus, to make it more "windows-like" But the upgrade in performance over my Pixelbook, which STILL is one of the fastest chromebooks around even 3-4 years later, is massive. massive, massive, massive. I was playing AQ on the Pixelbook on low graphics and might get 8-9 FPS average, maybe 11-12 on a good day. High graphics dropped FPS to maybe like 4-5, and those items that cause flash lag even worse. This thing runs the launcher on High, and I'm 12-16 FPS, and medium is gauranteed full speed. I only bring this up for those who might be interested in a chromebook and wonder how to play AQ. This model is what I'd recommend. For comparison, an Asus with similar specs is over $1000.
