A light 14-inch laptop with a newer Intel Core Ultra chip, 16GB of memory and a full 1TB SSD is plenty for office work, school and job hunting. This refurbished Acer Aspire 14 AI has a 14-inch WUXGA (1920 x 1200) screen, the Core Ultra 5 226V processor, 16GB RAM and 1TB of storage, running Windows 11. It's sold by Acer itself through eBay, and code NICEFIND10 brings it to $429.12. Slickdeals' price tracking shows it hit $415 earlier in October, so this is close to its low rather than a record.
