Chromebook deals often feel like a mirage. They’re already low-priced, so why would they need to be discounted? However, sales do exist and the world of Chromebook deals gives you ways to save up and down the line, from low-end laptops to attractive 2-in-1s that pack Intel Core CPUs. Plus, with back to school season right around the corner, Chromebook prices will only get better.
Currently, the best Chromebook deal comes from Best Buy. It has the Samsung Galaxy 13.3-inch 4K Chromebook for just $799. It’s one of the more powerful Chromebooks as it packs a Core i5-10210U CPU, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB SSD. Not to mention its gorgeous 4K screen.

What is the difference between a Chromebook and a laptop?
While most laptops run on Microsoft’s Windows or Apple’s MacOS, Chromebooks are powered by Chrome OS, Google’s cloud-native operating system. This fast and powerful Linux-based OS relies on Google’s suite of applications. Among G Suite’s apps are Gmail for email, and Drive for storage. G Suite productivity tools like Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides mimic Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, respectively.
Rather than storing documents and photos directly onto the Chromebook’s local storage drive, you can opt to store them in the cloud. As a result of the Chromebook’s simple OS, the specs are less complex than Window-based machines.
While Chromebooks aren’t ideal for tackling heavy graphics tasks, they’ll get you through day to day computing. What’s more, select Chromebook can run Android apps and Linux OS without having to rely on a dual boot which makes it great for developers.
