A Chromebook can make an affordable alternative to the best laptops, and we’ve rounded all of the best Chromebook deals you can shop right now.
There is a lot to love about Windows laptops, but as an operating system, they tend to be resource-hungry, which also means that laptops with low specifications tend to suffer a lot in terms of performance. While you certainly don’t have to get the best laptops to get a good Windows device, there is another option in the form of Chromebooks. These run on ChromeOS, which is a lighter operating system made by Google and is within the Google ecosystem, and that means that you don’t have to have powerful hardware to get better performance. In fact, even some of the best Chromebooks don’t tend to have the latest CPUs because they don’t need them as much as a traditional laptop.
To that end, we’ve collected our favorite Chromebook deals below, and you’ll see there is a lot of crossover with some of our other roundups, such as the HP laptop deals, Acer laptop deals, Dell laptop deals, and Lenovo laptop deals, so you may want to check those out too.HP Chromebook 11A G6 Education Edition — $51, was $244
Probably one of the cheapest options you’re going to find for a Chromebook is this education edition that’s made to be as basic as possible to bring the price down. The processor is a very entry-level AMD A4 9120C which is just about enough to get productivity tasks completely, and probably can’t handle more complex tasks. The 4 GB of RAM isn’t a lot either, but at least with ChromeOS not being as demanding resource-wise, you shouldn’t feel it as much as you would on a Windows device. The biggest downside is the 16GB SSD, which means you will almost certainly have to rely on one of these external hard drive deals.
