What are the best Chromebooks for general use around $300?

Pros

Pro
Affordable

Pro
USB-C ports

Two USB 3.1 Type-C Gen 1 ports, which can be used to charge the device or other products, transfer data quickly and connect to an HD display.

Cons

Con
No touchscreen

Only the more expensive models have a touchscreen, this can be a problem if you want to play games from the Android Play Store that only have touch support.

Con
No shortcuts on the desktop

This is a general Chrome OS problem, not Acer specific.
It is not possible to place icons on the desktop, they can only be pinned to the shelf at the bottom of the screen.
